Nestled on a quiet half-acre just minutes from downtown Taneytown and with Fiddlers Green Farm just over the hill, this 2-bedroom, 2-bath brick cottage blends timeless charm with many thoughtful updates. Greeted by traditional front steps and topped with a beautiful & durable metal roof - offering low-maintenance and built to last – come around back for a warm & country-style entry that brings you through a mudroom/pantry area and directly into the large, updated kitchen! Granite counters, stainless appliances, and plenty of room for a large dining table, the main level also features generous and open living room space with original hardwood floors, traditional trim, your first bedroom, also with hardwoods, two full baths, and laundry! Filled with natural light throughout & freshly painted, come upstairs to the larger of the two bedrooms with multiple closets and cape cod-style sloped ceilings adding yet more charm and character. The unfinished basement has been fully waterproofed with a vapor barrier and french drain, offering both peace of mind and excellent storage space. Outside, the deep backyard is ideal for planting or play, with a garden area already in place! A long driveway provides plenty of parking, and a freestanding garage (sold as is) offers additional storage or space for tools and equipment. With its inviting style, traditional character, modern updates, and a peaceful setting – come make your new home on Old Taneytown Road!
