HIGHLY MOTIVATED SELLERS- DON'T MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY! This historic 1916 home is charming inside and out. They don’t build houses like this anymore! Featuring 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths, this home is adjacent to Washington College and a short stroll to downtown Chestertown. Three finished levels and high ceilings make the home feel roomier than the square footage suggests. Gorgeous original heart-pine hardwood floors and beautiful molding run throughout. The mahogany-floored porch has interchangeable screens and windows, easily converting from a screen porch into a sunroom. New 6’ pressure-treated pine fence provides privacy in the backyard, perfect for children or pets to enjoy. Adjacent to the fence, the lot also has a driveway with off-street parking for two vehicles. Calling those with green thumbs - a separate fenced garden is ready for your flowers, fruits, and veggies to be planted this spring! In summer 2025, owners completed $60,000 in updates, including a new roof and fully updated electrical wiring as well as fresh interior paint. (As the electrician noted, much to his chagrin, this house is SOLIDLY built - plaster walls were difficult to get through - and have since been professionally patched!) All upgrades were intended to be enjoyed by current homeowners, but they are regretfully moving to be closer to a new job. After updates, home appraised for over $500,000. Instant equity for a lucky buyer! View this listing at: http://lancasterpahomesforsale.com/mls=MDKE2005876
