Online bidding will open approximately Wednesday, July 14th, 2025
Going on the auction block, selling by online bidding only, is a 1½ story home located in the desirable Doe Valley gated community. This 2,162 sq. ft. home was built in approximately 1983 (per the Meade Co. PVA) and sits on a prime spot, being near the front entrance and the backyard borders the Doe Valley Public Golf Course. The main level consists of a kitchen with a breakfast area, spacious living room with L.P. gas fireplace, primary bedroom with walk-in closet and a partially updated bathroom, utility room and a pantry. Additional details of the main floor include crown molding, a screened back porch overlooking the hole number one green, attached carport and patio area that provide additional space for parking and relaxation. The upper level has two more bedrooms, a bathroom, a bonus room, and several closets. The basement, though unfinished, presents a unique opportunity to personalize and expand the home. With a wood-burning stove, wall heater, water softener, and mop sink already in place, the basement is ready to be transformed into whatever you envision. Recent upgrades bring peace of mind to potential buyers: the heating and air units are only two years old, the roof shingles were replaced just one year ago, and the water heater has also been updated. The exterior of the home is a combination of stone, wood siding, and stucco that adds character and curb appeal. The home and improvements are situated on Lot 77 and part of Lots 76 and 78 of Doe Valley Greens. Doe Valley is a community full of amenities designed for an active or relaxed lifestyle. The neighborhood features a golf course, a swim and tennis club with an Olympic-sized pool, a restaurant, a 360-acre lake with a marina and beach, a campground, and security with gated entrances for added peace of mind.
