Emmitsburg, MD 21727

Tucked along scenic Annandale Road, just behind Mount St. Mary’s University, this east-facing Emmitsburg property sits on over 3 private acres with its own fishing pond and mature trees. This lovingly cared for 1920 home carries a sense of history while offering the comfort and functionality that fits today’s lifestyle. Outside, you’ll find a gorgeous, expansive wrap-around porch with a stone wall, perfect for gathering, dining, or unwinding while overlooking the grounds. The private fishing pond adds a special element that is rarely found in this unique setting. The backyard features a beautiful stone patio, a great spot for the grill, and convenient to the kitchen with easy access from the driveway. The land itself offers room to garden, explore, or simply take in the surroundings, and includes a custom chicken coop with an attached duck house that adds to the charm and usability of the property. Opportunities like this, where you have space, privacy, and usable land, are increasingly hard to find. Inside, you’ll find 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths. Natural light fills the home, and the surrounding landscape creates a peaceful backdrop. The kitchen has been updated with newer appliances (2022), including a refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, and double oven, along with a new sink and faucet (2025). The layout is comfortable and practical, with spaces that work well for everyday living. The second floor offers three bedrooms, a hall bath, and a flexible office or sitting room that leads to the primary suite. The fully finished attic serves as a private primary retreat, complete with its own full bath and beautiful 360-degree views of the property. Several important updates have already been completed. These include a new roof, downspouts, and gutter guards (2024), well pump replacement (2022), sump pump (2021), pressure tank (2025), and a new UV water treatment system (2026). For added peace of mind, the sellers recently tested the well water (March 2026), and the septic system was inspected and pumped (March 2026), receipts available.
