Step into the charm of 1873 and embrace a true homestead lifestyle with this beautifully preserved farmhouse set on 1.5 acres of agriculturally zoned land just outside Boonsboro. Surrounded by working farms and peaceful countryside, the property offers sweeping views of the rolling landscape and the rare opportunity to enjoy open space, self-sufficiency, and historic character in one inviting setting.
A welcoming front porch invites you to slow down and take in the scenery. Inside, exposed log walls and professionally refinished original hardwood floors reflect craftsmanship from another era, thoughtfully maintained and reinforced. Recent exterior updates include a newer roof, updated siding, replacement windows, and a metal roof on the barn. Energy efficiency has been enhanced with spray foam insulation in the attic and basement walls, along with efficient mini-split HVAC systems providing year-round comfort.
The updated kitchen features newer cabinetry and appliances while maintaining the home’s classic farmhouse layout. Three bedrooms, one full bath, and one half bath offer functional living space. Please note: the second floor ceiling height measures approximately six feet, consistent with historic construction of this period.
Upstairs, a walk-up unfinished attic offers additional storage or creative potential, and a partial cellar provides practical storage below.
Outdoors, the property truly shines. The 1.5-acre lot offers usable open space ideal for gardening, small livestock, hobby farming, or simply enjoying privacy and beautiful countryside views. The barn includes a stall area, tack or feed space, and loft storage beneath a durable metal roof. Additional features include a large chicken coop, powered shed, spacious deck, generous gravel driveway, and reliable high-speed internet service supporting modern work-from-home needs.
