Colonial charm combined with modern functionality and abundant upgrades make this all-brick historic Old Town standout a great buy. With $65,000 worth of upgrades in recent years, the home is move-in ready. Improvements include new oak flooring (2017) on the entire ground floor, stairs, and second-floor landing. The remaining existing floors were all refinished as well. A 2018 kitchen remodel included Virginia Mist granite countertops and custom Hagerstown kitchen cabinets, a marble backsplash, under-cabinet lighting, and angled wire molding. The Fisher & Paykel refrigerator, LG Electronics induction range, Gaggenau under-cabinet microwave drawer, and Grohe faucet are all stainless steel. Other kitchen features include one of two wood-burning fireplaces, a wine fridge, and spacious pantry. All appliances in the kitchen are electric, as well as the homeâs central heating and hot water heater, but the home is plumbed for gas as well. The front living room features a second wood-burning fireplace, and both the living room and dining area include recessed lighting, crown molding, and a chair rail. Toward the rear of the home, French doors lead to a fully fenced private patio with brick planters and a spectacular pergola. Upstairs, the master bedroom features a cathedral ceiling and ceiling fan, recessed lights, three cedar-lined closets, and beautiful original pine flooring. The full master bath includes a walk-in shower, marble tile floor, and Solatube lighting. Off of the master bedroom is a recently remodeled sitting room also with original pine flooring and a cathedral ceiling, as well as a new skylight and custom built-in cabinets that extend to the ceiling. A built-in cherry wood desk makes the room great for reading, study, or just relaxing. The built-in library ladder provides easy access to the upper cabinets, and French doors (2018) open to a Juliet balcony that overlooks the beautiful patio below. The second upstairs bedroom has its original pine flooring, two closets, and a full en suite bathroom with marble flooring, recessed lights, glass subway tile, a free-standing deep-soak bathtub with shower, and a classic pedestal sink. The attic received additional R39 insulation in 2017 and is foam air sealed. The unfinished cellar includes a concrete floor and abundant shelving for extensive storage. This area could serve as a fantastic wine cellar! Other highlights include a new HVAC in 2018 with an electric heat pump and air handler, as well as a steam humidifier and ultraviolet air treatment. In 2017, the foundation was waterproofed, hot water heater replaced, and new front steps were added. In 2018, the roof and gutters were replaced. The home also includes two rear parking spaces, although a 4â X 12â shed, which holds up to six bicycles, occupies one of the parking spaces. This move-in-ready home offers comfort and convenience with classic colonial charm that represents the absolute best that Old Town has to offer.
