Award-Winning Cacapon South - New Listing

A terrific weekend-getaway...less than 2 hours from Washington and Baltimore.

This house is located in the southern portion of Morgan County. The community features underground utilities and reasonable covenants to protect your investment and is just across the street from the Cacapon State Park.

There is something for everyone at the Park. They offer an 18-hole Robert Trent Jones golf course, swimming, boating, fishing, hiking, birding and skeet shooting. There are tennis and basketball courts, a nature center, a playground for the kids, and in the summer they sponsor live concerts. Admission is free and dogs are permitted providing they are on a leash. Some of the activites require a fee - admission to the private lake for swimming and of course, the golf course.

The house was built in 2005 and has 2700 square feet of finished living area. On the main level, you'll find 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms in addition to the living room, dining room and kitchen. It is well appointed with hardwood floors, Corian counters and stainless steel appliances.

The lower level features a large family room and second kitchen, bedroom, luxurious bathroom with jetted tub and a laundry room - ideal for two families that want to vacation together but still have some privacy. Or, it would be a great area for entertaining. There's plenty of room for you, your friends and extended family as well.

There is a large deck on the rear of the house and it backs to trees so there is plenty of privacy.

This house is move-in ready -- not a thing to do but place your furniture and then head off to the park.

Asking price is $279,000

My New Office

Owning your own business is the American Dream and for the past few years, I was part-owner of Berkeley Realty Group. I had the opportunity to buy into the company and thought it was a great idea. Selling real estate has been tough the last year or so, but we managed to hold our own and unlike some of the other independent offices in town, were able to keep our doors open.

A few months ago, we were approached by the local Coldwell Banker office who wanted us to consider merging with them. The idea was something we threw around but the offer was just not something we could live with. We discussed various options over the next few months until Coldwell Banker finally made us an offer we couldn't refuse. They have acuired our business, but we will still hold title to the real estate and are open to either renting selling the property.

So, effective Monday, May 4, 2009, Berkeley Realty Group will be closing it's door and I will be working out of the Coldwell Banker office just down the street. It's an exciting time and I'm looking forward to all of the marketing, financial and educational support they offer their agents.

All of us at the office are busy packing and moving and setting up our new offices. Now I can concentrate on just buying and selling real estate and let someone else run the business.
