Some backyards give you a little grass and a place for the grill. This one gives you a front-row seat to Almost Heaven. At 84 Founders Court, more than half an acre unfolds beneath mature silver oaks, maples and other hardwoods, creating a setting that has taken decades to grow. A timeless split-rail fence with iron hardware surrounds the large backyard, where deer wander through the woods, wild turkeys make their rounds and squirrels provide the daily entertainment. A statue garden and memory bench overlooking the private woods offer a quiet place to sit, listen and stay awhile. This is a backyard made for bare feet and muddy paws. For morning coffee on the deck, dinner outside and children disappearing into an afternoon of play. For watching the seasons change through trees that have been doing exactly that for decades. The spacious rear deck opens directly from the kitchen and dining area, while the lower patio adds another place to gather, grill or simply enjoy the privacy. An electrified 12 x 24 outdoor building allows space for your outdoor tools and room for your next project to start taking shape. And with more than 2,000 square feet inside, this home has just as much room for life to unfold. The walk-in lower level offers exceptional flexibility, including a private bedroom suite with its own full bathroom and separate entrance. It has already served this family through different seasons of life—providing comfort and independence for elderly parents, privacy for college-aged children and room for guests while keeping everyone under one roof. There's more room to adapt here, too. A sprawling multipurpose room with new LVP flooring and a double closet could become another bedroom, office, gym, playroom or hobby space. A large family room gives everyone somewhere to land, while the finished laundry and storage room is the unsung hero—a dedicated hideaway for laundry, household supplies and all of life's extras. Perhaps what you'll notice most inside is how beautifully everything has been cared for. The owners have called this home for 26 years, and that pride of ownership shows. A heat pump less than two years old and an approximately seven-year-old roof with 35+ year architectural shingles add reassuring practical updates to a home that has been lovingly maintained. Set on a quiet cul-de-sac in the established Forest Heights neighborhood of Martinsburg, 84 Founders Court offers something increasingly difficult to duplicate: mature trees, generous outdoor space, a flexible floor plan and a home that has been given the time and care to settle beautifully into its surroundings. Come sit on the bench. Listen to the birds. Watch for the turkeys. You may find yourself wanting to stay awhile.
