Tucked away on 2 private acres, this beautifully maintained home offers privacy, convenience, and no HOA. Located on a state-maintained paved road that ends in a cul-de-sac, the property features a paved driveway, mature trees, flowering perennials, and beautiful landscaping that creates a peaceful setting from the moment you arrive. High-speed Verizon internet is available at the home, offering the perfect blend of peaceful country living with modern convenience. The main level features gorgeous wide-plank hardwood flooring, a living room with a bay window and wood-burning fireplace, and a spacious kitchen with bar seating that opens to the dining room. On warm summer evenings, imagine enjoying dinner on the back patio overlooking the flat backyard. Upstairs, you’ll find three generously sized bedrooms, including an owner’s suite with an ensuite bathroom. Need more space? The finished lower level is perfect for a family room, workout area, playroom, office, or flex space. The oversized two-car garage offers plenty of room for parking, storage, or a workshop area and already has a fan/heating unit installed. This home has been meticulously cared for with major updates including HVAC in 2021, furnace in 2024, roof in 2024, siding in 2024, and an inline whole-house water filter in 2025. Ideally located on the east side of Frederick County, Stephenson offers easy access to shopping, restaurants, Route 7, and I-81 while still providing the private, tucked-away feel buyers love.
