When I first walked through 528 N Third Street, I knew this wasn't just another listing—it was a showcase of what modern homebuying should be. Like-new and full of upgrades, this 2023-built home offers modern living with thoughtful enhancements throughout. Let me take you inside what makes this property exceptional and why it represents incredible value in today's Martinsburg market.
Why This Home Stands Out
Smart Design Meets Smart Technology
Featuring 4 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, the home welcomes you with 9-foot ceilings and an open layout perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. But what truly sets this home apart is the thoughtful integration of technology throughout.
The kitchen is a standout, boasting premium stainless steel appliances, a farm sink, a full tile backsplash, custom counter outlets, and gesture-activated faucet and lighting—designed for both function and style. Imagine never having to touch a faucet again while your hands are full of groceries or covered in flour from baking.
Luxury That Makes Sense
The living room centers around a gas fireplace with a remote-controlled thermostat and a custom black walnut mantle, adding warmth and charm. This isn't just about aesthetics—it's about creating a space where you actually want to spend time.
Upstairs, the spacious primary suite includes a spa-like bath with a freestanding tub and luxurious rain shower. After touring hundreds of homes in my career, I can tell you that this level of finish in a 2023-built home at this price point is exceptional.
Future-Ready Features
Here's where my "work smart" philosophy really shows in this listing. The attached garage includes a WiFi-enabled LiftMaster door opener and a built-in EV charger. As someone who's always thinking about resale value, I love that this home is already prepared for the electric vehicle transition that's happening now, not someday.
Security and peace of mind are provided by a SimpliSafe system and video-monitored front door. In today's world, integrated security isn't a luxury—it's a necessity that adds real value.
The Equity Opportunity Hidden in Plain Sight
The full basement is already partially finished with framing for a 5th bedroom and an installed shower in the roughed-in bathroom, giving the next owner a head start on adding instant equity and functional living space.
This is where my experience serving clients really matters. Most buyers see this as "nice to have," but I see it as immediate opportunity. You're essentially getting professional framing and plumbing work already completed. Finish this space and you've instantly added significant square footage and value to your investment.
Martinsburg: The Market Everyone's Talking About
Let me share why this location makes financial sense. The median listing home price in Martinsburg has risen to $339.7K, showing a 15.2% year-over-year increase. At $395,000, this property positions you perfectly in a market that's showing strong appreciation.
Here's what the data tells us about why Martinsburg is hot right now:
Strategic location close to Washington, DC and Baltimore offers numerous investment opportunities
47% of homes were sold within 30 days in February 2025
The median home price in West Virginia has increased by 3.6% over the past year
The Commuter's Dream
With its proximity to DC and Baltimore, this city is nestled comfortably within commutable distances to major employment centers like Washington, DC and Baltimore. For professionals working in the DMV who want space, value, and a genuine community feel, Martinsburg delivers all three.
Outdoor Living Done Right
Step outside to enjoy the 12x12 deck, stone front slate porch, and upgraded exterior lighting that enhances curb appeal. The 5,227 square foot lot gives you room to breathe—something increasingly rare in today's market.
Market Timing: Why Now Makes Sense
Homes in Martinsburg had an average listing age of 45 days in Feb 2025, down by 1.8% compared to the previous year. This tells us the market is active but not overheated. You have time to make a thoughtful decision without the pressure of bidding wars common in many markets.
The West Virginia housing market currently shows accelerating momentum. Early indicators suggest we're in a sweet spot where appreciation is strong but prices haven't reached unsustainable levels.
My Promise to You
Smart, stylish, and move-in ready—this is the one you've been waiting for. But beyond the features and finishes, what I bring to this transaction is my commitment to being the hardest working realtor in your corner.
I've personally walked every inch of this property. I know the builder's reputation, I understand the neighborhood dynamics, and I've researched comparable sales to ensure this represents genuine value. That's what "working smart" means—doing the homework so you can make confident decisions.
