Charming, unique and private home on a very quiet 2+ acres is a great starter home or a weekend retreat. The main level features an open layout with endless possibilities to build additional bedrooms or to change the layout to your likings. Lots of windows allow for natural lighting throughout the home. The upper level is very ample and offers lots of space and potentially 2 bedrooms. There is a separate laundry room, family room, large kitchen and an enclosed porch. The full basement is perfect for storage or workshop. The house is minutes from downtown Emmitsburg & Route 15 but also borders many acres owned by The Town of Emmitsburg and is also within 2 miles of Mary's College. A number of recreational centers and parks are also in close proximity, including Liberty Mountain resort, Catoctin Mountain Park, Emmitsburg Watershed Trails, Rainbow Lake, and Cunningham Falls State Park.
