As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.

Location

Directions:From Berkeley Station Rd in Martinsburg, follow approx. 8 miles then turn left onto Dam Four Rd. Property is just under a mile on the right. Driveway is a little steep and narrow, larger vehicles may be a challenge but the driveway has the potential to be widened. Best to park in front of the house on the bend, or the public access which is just beyond the house.
