Property Description
Welcome to 397 Angora Rd., a historic home built in 1836 that originally served as a schoolhouse before being converted into a residence. Situated on a 2.25-acre corner lot in Alsace Township, the property features a stream, garden shed, detached 3-car garage, and a driveway with parking for five or more vehicles. The first floor offers a living room, dining area with hardwood flooring, kitchen with breakfast counter, double sink, dishwasher hookup, laundry room, full bath, and a wood-burning stove. The second floor features one oversized bedroom with crawl space storage. Originally designed as a two-bedroom home, the layout can be converted back to two bedrooms if desired. Major improvement includes a new roof installed in 2025 with a transferable warranty. This property is ready for its next owner to restore, renovate, or update to suit their vision. The seller has enjoyed living here and is only moving because more space is needed. Conveniently located within walking distance of Antietam Lake Park and the Antietam Trails, offering year-round stocked fishing, hiking, and outdoor recreation. Settlement is contingent upon the seller finding suitable housing. The seller is actively searching.
