Property Description
This 3-bedroom, 1-full-bath and 1-half-bath home is believed to have begun as an early log structure, later expanded and preserved over time. With approximately 2,300+ square feet, it brings together vintage craftsmanship and everyday livability.
From the moment you step inside, you'll notice the generous spaces, original details, and the character that only a vintage home of this era can offer. This is not a cookie-cutter property. It's a home with presence, history, and soul.
Set in the heart of Emmitsburg's historic area, where homes date back to the 18th and 19th centuries, the property is surrounded by architecture and stories that have stood the test of time.
And then there's the location…
Founded in 1785, Emmitsburg is a small town with deep roots and a rich connection to Civil War history, just minutes from Gettysburg, one of the country's most significant historic destinations.
Nearby attractions include the National Shrine of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton, Mount St. Mary's University, local shops, The Ott House, The Carriage House, and The Palms—all local favorites. Small-town charm is close at hand, with major commuter routes also conveniently accessible.
A standout feature, especially for a historic Main Street home, is the four off-street parking spaces behind the property—a rare and valuable convenience in this setting.
Outdoor enthusiasts are a short drive from Ski Liberty, with winter skiing, snowboarding, and snow tubing, along with mountain views and outdoor recreation throughout the year. Golfers will appreciate nearby courses, including Mountain View Golf Club and other scenic options in the Frederick and Adams County areas, with a variety of play for all skill levels.
Whether you're drawn to its history, architecture, or location, 308 W. Main Street offers a special opportunity to own a part of Emmitsburg's past and make it your own for the future.
