Four-Bedroom Home for Sale and Rent in Martinsburg, West Virginia, USA

Gardener's Paradise W/ Workshop & Large, Quality Home

If you value quiet, beauty, privacy, room, workspace, and access to all the necessities of life, this is the home for you!

The home is built well back from the road and is surrounded by trees. The neighbors are wonderful people who are friendly and quiet.

You'll have a beautiful view of the field across the road that has always been too rocky to be developed, but is extremely picturesque. You’ll also enjoy the terraced landscaping that uses natural rock ledges along the west border of the property. Trees, shrubbery, and flowers are planted in abundance, and there’s also an orchard with cherry, peach, plum, pear, apple, and almond trees and a garden with a sizable, producing strawberry patch. Raspberries abound above the rock ledges.

You’ll enjoy plenty of room on the main and second floors with approximately 1,200 square feet of space each. There is also an unfinished basement with approximately 1,000 square feet of space. The home has four bedrooms, one of which has often been used as an office. It has 3 3/4 baths, a spacious master bedroom with two walk-in closets, a second large upstairs bedroom with a full bathroom ensuite, a large entertainment room wired for surround-sound, and plenty of room for hobbies or tinkering. In fact, you’ll have an attached two-car garage with immediate entrance into the kitchen and a large, three-car detached garage that has plenty of room for storage in its upstairs attic. The lot is approximately 1 2/3 acres in size, and a large wood deck overlooks the backyard.

If you like to swim, there's a 18x36 in-ground pool, complete with diving board and water slide, which is just the place to exercise or escape the summer heat. The kids will love to splash around and dive off the board or zoom down the slide. Adults will probably prefer to sip their favorite beverage while enjoying a massage from the spa jets.

The Woods resort, with golf and other amenities, is only 30 minutes away. And a quaint nine-hole golf course is only five minutes away. The B&O Canal towpath is just across the Potomac river via I-81 -- 15 minutes if you’re a leisurely driver. And the Berkeley Springs spa is only 30 minutes west.

Whether you commute or work nearby, you’ll have excellent access to transportation. Just one mile from the on-ramp to I-81, you are also only 9 miles from I-70. The MARC train to Washington, DC, is only 12 minutes away, and makes stops at many commuter destinations enroute. AMTRAC to DC or Chicago also stops at the same modern train station in Martinsburg, where the historical Roundhouse is also being restored.

Your school and shopping needs are easily met. This home is only a mile and a half from new schools and a new shopping center. And if you don’t find what you want in Martinsburg, then Hagerstown, Maryland and Winchester, Virginia are just a few minutes north or south, respectively, on I-81.

This home is a garden, a refuge, a workshop, and a vacation spot without leaving the house -- all rolled into one. If the hustle and bustle of life near the nation’s capitol is taking its toll on your nerves or your health, this could be just what the doctor ordered.
