About this home
Charm and character abound at this hilltop property, complete with a huge pool and newer HVAC system providing central air and heat. Perched high on Mount Penn overlooking the Antietam and Exeter valleys, with surrounding hills stretching into the distance, this pretty home offers comfort, space, and unforgettable views. Constructed with stone and brick, this well-built residence sits on over half an acre and features a large, heated pool with scenic views. Two spacious porches provide perfect places to relax and entertain. The large front porch overlooks Neversink Mountain, while the equally generous screened-in back porch sits just off the kitchen, offering a more private retreat. The first-floor layout is thoughtfully designed, featuring a convenient half-bath between the kitchen and dining room. Together with the living room and dining room, the spaces form an easy-flowing square floor plan, all accented by beautiful hardwood floors. Upstairs, a long office or playroom complements three generously sized bedrooms, including a spacious primary bedroom with a charming retro-style en-suite bathroom. Storage is plentiful with both an attic and a basement with several rooms. Parking is also abundant thanks to a long driveway and a deep garage capable of fitting two cars or additional equipment. The fenced backyard is perfect for pets or children, adding to the home's practicality and appeal. Antietam is a wonderful place to live, offering multiple lakes, parks, and well-known hiking trails. The area also features several beloved neighborhood restaurants, including the iconic and historic Stokesay Castle, located just about 300 yards through the woods. Close to everything yet peacefully tucked away, this impressive and affordable hilltop gem is not to be missed....
