6208 Mondell Rd, Sharpsburg, MD 21782

Nestled amongst the trees and glades of just over forty one acres, this wonderful home can be your retreat from the pressures of a metropolitan career or the start of a new chapter along the path that we call life. For hiking and exploring, the land is a mixture of inviting hills and restful level, the shade of towering trees and the warmth of sun drenched pasture. It’s rural enough that the sound of the bustling world fades away, yet close enough to interstates 70 and 81 that you will never feel out of touch. Nearby is historic Sharpsburg, while the hallowed ground of Antietam Battlefield is practically across the street. Another wonderful feature you’re sure to treasure is the fact that no car is needed to embark on a pleasant stroll or bike ride along the C & O Canal. The property literally backs up to the towpath! The custom home, built in 2002, is of all brick construction with 2x6 framing. With its multiple outside gathering spaces, wrap-around porch, and open floor plan, it’s ideally set up for formal entertaining or family get-togethers during the holidays. The main level is 2243 SF and is bathed in light thanks to its many oversized windows. The entry and living room boast no fewer than ten large windows providing a panoramic view and French doors allowing access to the covered patio. The spacious kitchen, with plenty of countertop space and attached bar, is centrally located for convenience and the large brick fireplace with adjacent sitting area facing the living room creates a warm and cozy feel during the colder months. Behind the kitchen is a wood-floored dining room surrounded on three sides by oversized windows offering stunning views of the property. The master bedroom features a large walk-in closet and its own private bath with his and hers sinks, a whirlpool bath, and a separate shower. Each of the other two generously sized bedrooms has its own closet and is conveniently situated near a second bath with a shower/tub combination and dual sinks. Between the home and attached two car garage is a large laundry room complete with folding area, utility sink, and abundant storage. On the lower level, we find another 2243 SF with a second kitchen, another full bath, storage room, and a large brick fireplace with built-in wood storage facing a huge open space. You’ll also find three sliding glass doors and a swinging door opening onto a covered terrace that’s protected from rain thanks to the tiled patio above. The best part of all is the fact that, with minimal finishing, you can either double the size of your living space or create a spacious in-law suite. Just a short walk from the home, you’ll find a massive 42x132 outbuilding divided into three sections. Supplied with both water and electricity, it is of metal and wood construction with a metal roof, gutters, and downspouts. The left section is a 42x30 dirt floored storage area open on one side. The middle section is a 42x62 concrete floored garage with twin sliding doors capable of storing all your toys and equipment. It has doors connecting it to both of the other sections. The right section is a 42x40 insulated shop with entrance door, windows, its own overhead door, and a flue. Formally used as a wood shop, it’s capable of accommodating whatever hobby you care to pursue. Outside is a fire pit and patio area ready to make lasting family memories on a warm summer evening. All told, the combination of abundant, unspoiled land, bright, airy home, and large outbuilding full of potential create a synergy that is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Whether you're looking to acquire a reinvigoration retreat from the city or escape it altogether, this breathtaking property may well be precisely what you have been looking for.
