About This Home
Tucked away on a quiet country road in Maurertown, this beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom farmhouse blends timeless 1940s charm with thoughtful modern upgrades on 1.82 private acres. Located less than 20 minutes from major amenities in the small towns of Strasburg and Woodstock. Surrounded by natural bamboo for added privacy, this property offers a peaceful setting with inviting indoor and outdoor living spaces designed for both everyday comfort and entertaining. Originally rich in character, the home was expanded in 2015 with a stunning cedar-sided addition that enhances both space and functionality. Inside, you’ll find a spacious primary suite, a bright and welcoming sunroom, dedicated office space, and a well-defined dining area—all complemented by hardwood flooring and a cozy gas fireplace. The updated kitchen, renovated in 2021, features granite countertops, modern finishes, and improved plumbing, making it as functional as it is stylish. Main-level laundry adds everyday convenience. Step outside to enjoy the charming front porch (2018) or unwind on the newly installed stone patio and pergola-covered entertaining area, complete with ceiling fans and roller blinds (2024). Whether hosting guests or enjoying a quiet evening, this outdoor space is a true highlight. Major system upgrades provide peace of mind and efficiency, including a state-of-the-art closed horizontal geothermal system, Anderson windows in the family room (2020), a metal roof freshly painted in 2018, and a RainSoft water purification system installed in 2023. Additional improvements include a new carport with solar (2019), EV charging station (2023), updated siding, new front entry door, and extensive plumbing updates. A storage shed with new roof and siding (2023) offers additional space for hobbies, storage, or workshop use. With a blend of farmhouse charm, modern efficiency, and serene surroundings, this property offers a rare opportunity for refined country living. Some furnishings will convey, adding even more value to this exceptional home.
