Perched atop the western slope of North Mountain, overlooking miles of unbroken ridgeline and valley, Ridgetop Manor is a rare offering where history, craftsmanship, and land converge. Encompassing nearly 20 acres, this remarkable estate blends nearly two centuries of heritage with modern refinement. While offering a sense of elevation and seclusion, the property is conveniently located within close proximity of I-81, Berkeley Medical Center, the MARC train, and a variety of shopping and service amenities. The Manor is a distinctive stone residence built on the footprint of an earlier agricultural structure, reflecting enduring craftsmanship. Original architectural drawings will convey with the property, providing a direct connection to its design and construction. The residence offers approximately 3,600 square feet of living space, showcasing hand-laid, 14-inch-thick native fieldstone, solid oak structural elements, and variable-width red oak hardwood flooring that was milled locally. Two substantial stone fireplaces anchor the interior living spaces, while the original mason's inscription remains visible on the exterior, contributing to the home's preserved character. The current owners have undertaken extensive improvements with a focus on maintaining the home's historic integrity while incorporating modern systems and conveniences. The updated floor plan includes an expanded, well-appointed gourmet kitchen designed for both function and presentation. Features include a commercial-grade stainless steel range with gas burners, grill, and griddle, built-in refrigerator with custom paneling, custom maple cabinetry with extensive storage solutions, and expansive counter space for food preparation. Additional highlights include a breakfast bar with prep sink and a built-in microwave drawer. Large windows frame broad landscape views across the horizon, enhancing the kitchen's setting. The adjoining dining area accommodates larger gatherings, and a lower-level utility kitchen provides additional appliances and storage. Interior enhancements include updated bathrooms, refinished hardwood flooring, expanded bedroom space, and careful restoration and reuse of original doors, trim, and hardware. With two bedrooms with potential for use as primary bedrooms, this layout provides options for the new owners. Major systems have been comprehensively upgraded, including electrical, plumbing, HVAC with central air, insulation, energy-efficient windows, and water treatment systems, along with well and cistern improvements, providing peace of mind. Outdoor spaces are a defining feature of the property. The wrap-around porch and double balconies provide elevated vantage points with long-range views extending for miles, offering a dynamic setting for outdoor living and entertaining. A ridge-top viewing area with firepit creates an additional gathering space, with eastern-facing views capturing notable sunrise vistas, while western exposures provide striking sunset views across the surrounding landscape.
