The Main Level:
SELLER: My favorite part of the house is the first level.  The open design is great for entertaining.  From the large kitchen area I could talk and interact with our guests in the living room and the dining area.  The four sliding glass doors lead to the huge deck and also offer a great view of the outdoors.  The stone fireplace is our focal point in the winter time both for warmth and beauty.  The sunroom off the kitchen is my favorite place to enjoy a book and morning coffee.

The Crossings at the Great Cacapon:
CACAPON RIVER AT THE CROSSINGS... MILES OF RIVER TO BOAT, SWIM & FISH!
  Known simply as The Crossings by those who know and love this place, this is a huge river front community in Hampshire County and one of the closest, nicest weekend/retirement recreational communities to the DC area. You can get here in UNDER 2 hours from downtown DC! Formerly a large farm, The Crossings has open and wooded, river front and upland, homes and home sites available. With over 200 lots altogether, there seem to always be a wide assortment of resales available due to the mobile DC community that comprises so many of the owners. There are about 90 homes now, with one or more under construction at any time. A very well established community where a tour will easily convince you that things are being done correctly. All the roads and physical amenities, such as picnic shelters and playgrounds are well maintained. A security gate keeps out the curious as well as those up to no good. The Board of Directors keeps the treasury in good shape (ALL dues up to date!) and appears to be responsive to the needs of the community. There are a several miles of river frontage, within The Crossings, that you can use for tubing, canoeing, fishing and swimming.  You don't need river frontage on your own lot here... the common areas are not far from any lot and actually comprise the very best waterfront areas along the river. Float, tube, kayak, fish or canoe from one access point to another... four altogether, spread out over several miles of river. Numerous public river entry points up and down the river for longer, even overnight boating trips! If you want to have prime recreational property in an upscale river community (at affordable prices), look no further than The Crossings. Lot prices normally range from about $25k to $60k.


LOTS OF NICE PLACES TO PICNIC AND ENJOY THE RIVER AT THE CROSSINGS

BOAT LAUNCH AND PLAYGROUND ARE POPULAR SPOTS IN THE SUMMER
