Step Into This Lovely Horse Farm in the Heart of Middletown Valley Set against panoramic views of the Middletown Valley, nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Maryland, this custom-built Mid-Atlantic Victorian-style home offers a rare opportunity to own a horse-ready farm in Frederick County's highly desirable Middletown School District, just minutes from the Appalachian Trail. Perfect as a step-up property or for the equestrian currently boarding elsewhere and ready to bring their horses home, this thoughtfully designed farm is ready for equine occupancy at closing and blends historic charm with modern convenience. Historic Style with Modern Comfort The elegant two-story Victorian-style residence welcomes you through a classic columned porch into an arched-ceiling entrance hall. Hardwood floors span the main level, complemented by tiled powder, laundry, and mud rooms. A split hardwood staircase with colonial railings gracefully directs guests toward the kitchen or formal entry hall. The walk-out basement includes a finished media room and full bath, while the enormous unfinished attic offers exceptional potential for a third-floor office, studio, or future guest suite, all with sweeping valley views. Period-inspired details abound, including open-air transoms, oil-rubbed bronze antique-style lighting and wall sconces, diamond-light vinyl windows with oversized sills, and abundant accent lighting outlets throughout the home. Enjoy meals on the double-deck back porches overlooking the barn and paddock, relax on the brick front patio, or take in Middletown's Fourth of July fireworks from your front porch. Modern amenities include a security system, whole-house central vacuum, whole-house sprinkler system, and a comprehensive multi-stage water filtration system with UV purification. Open-Design Kitchen & Dining The gourmet kitchen is a centerpiece of the home, featuring custom maple cabinetry, granite countertops, subway tile backsplashes, a walk-in pantry, movable island, raised bar seating, coffee bar, media-wired recipe desk, baby bath sink, commercial-style gas cooktop, double wall ovens, and an oversized refrigerator. Cabinetry is pre-wired for under-cabinet lighting. The kitchen flows into the dining room beneath an arched beam ceiling, where a Gettysburg stone fireplace with oversized hearth and mantle creates a warm and inviting setting for everyday meals or entertaining. Living Spaces Designed for Comfort The living room is spacious yet inviting, with French doors and lit transoms opening to the back porch. A separate sitting parlor off the entrance hall features a tray ceiling and sun-filled bay windows framing mountain views. The main level also includes a vintage-style powder room, first-floor laundry with chute access, and a mudroom with custom-built lockers leading to an attached two-car garage with oversized bay, cabinetry, and utility sink. Private Bedroom Retreats The second floor hosts a generous primary suite with dressing room and ensuite bath featuring vintage hex tile, tiled shower with bench, slipper-style soaking tub, and private water closet. A private door opens directly to the upper porch for peaceful mornings overlooking the valley. Three additional bedrooms include charming reading nooks, window seats, built-ins, and a unique "secret room" connection. The children's bath is thoughtfully designed with dual pedestal sinks, private shower room, and water closet.
