Open House THIS Saturday (7/25) from 11AM-1PM! What an astounding value for one of the most private, well appointed, charming homesteads in Carroll County! 252 Bachmans Valley Rd offers 3 bucolic acres down a long private driveway, with a timeless 2500+ sf original farm house flanked by a detached garage, barn, intricate, planned, and lovely landscaping and gardens, combining so much yesteryear country charm with the space and outdoor amenities buyers today are seeking. The home features a large front porch with countryside views sure to make the hours melt away. Enter to the eat-in kitchen on your left, and dining room on your right. There is an addition on either side of the home - through the dining room with its beamed ceiling, iconic original hardwood flooring, and fireplace, to the large family/living room featuring exposed log cabin walls that used to be the exterior of the home! A bay window and 4 others drench this spacious and cozy addition with natural light. The large, eat-in kitchen features ample cream cabinetry, room for a table, access to the basement, and a walk-out to the enclosed back porch, and beyond that the perfect deck for eating meals together or enjoying a beverage outside in the blissful quiet. The first floor addition on the northwest side of the home could be an additional bedroom, family room, office space, or whatever is needed with an equally impressive amount of windows and natural light. A walk-in storage closet adjacent features a washer/dryer hookup for first floor accessibility if needed. There is also a full bath with stand up shower on the first floor. Upstairs, find 4 large bedrooms, ranging in size from 12x8 to 2 that are 19x14 - with large closet spaces! The front bedroom contains walk-up steps to the attic, and the floorplan lends itself to flexibility, reconfiguration if necessary, and a myriad of living situations. Charm, care, and a colonial color palette are constant throughout the home with pride of ownership and decades of thoughtful touches apparent in every corner of the home. The basement has several partially finished spaces, the washer dryer, utility area, and provides so much room for storage. The recently upgraded electric panel, new well (2023), front porch (2026), and newer roof provide peace of mind. Outside, find an oversize 26' x 34' heated garage, big enough for 2-4 vehicles, complete with electric, windows, second story storage space, and perfect for a car, farm equipment, "anything with wheels" enthusiast, a workshop, or simply storage! The recently resided 20' x 36' barn features a gravel floor, large hayloft, chicken coop, greenhouse, and plenty of room, potential, and existing structure to customize it to be your own - whether than means adding stalls, more parking area, turning it into a studio, or more! Explore the gardens, appreciate the mature and curated plantings around the property, bring your animals home, watch your own flora and fauna flourish, and have your perfect piece of Americana country life right here in Westminster. 252 Bachmans Valley is waiting to continue to be adored by its next owners!
