"The Ultimate Hilltop Retreat: Nature, Privacy, and Unbeatable Convenience"
Hilltop Heritage on Knights Hill: 2.87 Acres of Privacy & Potential
Held by the same family for 63 years, this rare estate offers one of the finest locations in St. Marys. Situated on a sprawling 2.87-acre lot at the top of Knights Hill, the property offers a peaceful country atmosphere with the convenience of dual access from both Melody Lane and Gypsy Road.
The Setting: A Private Outdoor Sanctuary
The true star of this property is the land itself. A natural woodland covers a third of the estate, complemented by a grove of apple trees, blueberry bushes, and a tranquil water pond. The back porch is a peaceful retreat, shaded by majestic pines and a 90-year-old oak tree. Whether you’re an avid gardener or a nature lover, these grounds are irreplaceable.
The Home: Classic Character Awaiting Your Vision
The 1933 residence is a solid home full of unique architectural details, now ready for a new owner to bring it into the modern era.
• Architectural Gems: The living area features an impressive sandstone fireplace (installed in 1970) with built-in stone bookshelves and a practical exterior log-loading window.
• The Layout: Three bedrooms on the main floor (including a spacious room formerly used as a 1,000-book library) and a versatile three-unit loft upstairs with built-in dressers.
• Room to Grow: The upstairs includes a large bonus room with new windows and an unfinished space specifically designated for a second bathroom installation.
• Full walk out basement: The basement has a special handyman room and work table.
• The Opportunity: While the home has been well-loved, it is ready for a kitchen refresh and modernizing touches, allowing you to build equity while customizing the interior to your exact taste.
Solid Fundamentals & Recent Updates
Significant "big-ticket" items have already been handled:
• Brand New Septic Line (2024) and Hot Water Heater (2023).
• Oil Furnace (2022)
• New Main Roof & Upstairs Windows (2022).

• Accessibility: Features a 2019 remodeled bath with a handicap-accessible tub and a stairlift from the basement garage to the main level.

This is a rare opportunity to secure a premier piece of real estate in a quiet, low-traffic neighborhood. With the major structural and mechanical updates already complete, this home is perfectly positioned for a kitchen refresh and modernizing touches to truly make it your own.
