The bright, sunny kitchen with breakfast nook was totally remodeled in 2015 with solid wood cabinetry , high level granite counters, and an oversized island; renovated with attention to quality and detail.

A longtime previous owner was an avid gardener. She laid out the rock garden design with its charming brick pathway and overall harmony with the natural limestone outcroppings that add so much character to the backyard. A gracefully landscaped yard includes established perennials beds surrounding the house with a pollinator pocket garden in the patio. The peonies herald the spring as do numerous blooming shrubs throughout the summer. But there's plenty of room for you to add you own touches. Further along toward the lake are a graceful willow tree and a charming cherry tree, both offering changing color throughout the year to the view from the kitchen window. A majestic black walnut tree stands sentinel as you enter the lower yard and approach the west bank of Lake Thomas, a serene quarry lake in the middle of Martinsburg.
Convenient location. Just blocks to down town Martinsburg, fine restaurants, Marc Commuter train to DC, EZ access to I-81. Wonderful walkable neighborhood.
