Welcome to 1794 Scrabble Road, Martinsburg, WV 25404 Where the Charm of Yesterday Meets the Comforts of Today This one-of-a-kind expanded log home offers a captivating blend of historic charm and contemporary elegance, all nestled on 3.56 unrestricted acres along a state-maintained road. Whether you dream of starting a homestead, enjoying a private retreat, or simply embracing space and serenity, this property delivers a rare opportunity in a truly special setting. Step into the light-filled atrium, where the home’s warm welcome begins. A staircase leads to a stunning 500 sq. ft. multi-windowed room that overlooks peaceful woodland—offering privacy, security, and a natural buffer against urban development. Reclaimed cherry flooring adds richness and reflects the home’s deep connection with the surrounding landscape. The modern design continues into an expansive spa-style bathroom featuring a skylight that captures both sunlight and moonlight. Evergreen trees frame the whirlpool soaking tub, while an oversized, custom-built walk-in shower completes the luxurious experience. The west side of the home showcases carefully restored, centuries-old rooms with exposed log walls and hardwood floors, radiating the timeless character of the original structure—believed to predate the 1920 tax records. In 2009, Hobday Custom Homes masterfully added a contemporary wing, seamlessly blending historic beauty with modern comfort. Decorated in a European style, the home’s versatile design suits any aesthetic—from primitive to ultra-modern. Soaring ceilings and expansive windows fill the interiors with natural light and offer stunning views from every angle. The spacious 27x22 upper-level room is perfect as a primary suite, art studio, office, or entertainment space. Outside, enjoy a peaceful slate patio for entertaining or relax on the welcoming front porch. Professionally landscaped by Shawn Walker, the grounds are adorned with native species that bloom from spring through fall, providing ever-changing beauty throughout the seasons. Located directly across from the Izaak Walton League property and just a short drive from both Martinsburg and historic Shepherdstown, this property offers the perfect balance of rural tranquility and modern convenience. Don’t miss your chance to own this extraordinary home! Schedule your showing today—there’s truly nothing else like it.
