Update: Open Houses have been canceled. Seller has accepted a contract. ***Highest & Best Offer Call*** Seller is requesting all highest and best offers be submitted by 5pm, Friday, May 3rd, 2024. Thank you for the interest in this terrific property! Unique and elegant contemporary farm-style homestead designed by the famous architect Hugh Newell Jacobsen! This unusual architectural property is being sold as-is, where is. Do not miss the opportunity to own a designer's showcase home at this price. This property is in need of a new roof, chimney work, and some other exterior work. However, it is clean, the beautiful wood floors have just been refinished, the entire interior was freshly painted, and you can move in while you renovate! What an amazing opportunity to interpret the designer's ideas in any way you want! All of the above and it is located on 4.29 serene acres in Howard Farm in Shepherdstown, WV. More information to come!
