Beautifully renovated 1910 twin in the heart of Mount Penn's Antietam School District — where classic character meets modern updates. This 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home has been thoughtfully refreshed from top to bottom: a brand-new kitchen, fully updated bathrooms, and gleaming refinished hardwood floors set the tone throughout. Original woodwork — including a stunning staircase, glass-front built-in cabinetry, and door and window trim — has been beautifully preserved, giving this home the warmth and craftsmanship you just can't find in new construction. The second floor features 3 generous sized bedrooms and a renovated full bathroom. Head up to the third-floor bedroom with bonus room - ideal as a home office, playroom, or storage space - and then step outside to the true showstopper: a private rooftop patio with sweeping views over the neighborhood and hillside beyond, perfect for morning coffee or evening relaxing. Walkable to local favorites and public transit, this home offers move-in-ready comfort in a location that's hard to beat. Don't miss this rare blend of historic charm and modern livability.
