Welcome to DeFluri's Fine Chocolates, the sweetest place in town where truffles just melt in your mouth. Brenda and Charlie Casabona are veteran chocolatiers and wizards of the finest confections you've never even dreamed of. There is a basket filled with over the top chocolate "Twinkies" that are a big hit and yet they offer the old favorite standby English lemon drops.
If you crave it, they have it!
The Casabona's chocolate factory is located in the heart of Martinsburg's historic district in the 50's era building that once housed the McCroy's Five & Dime Store. They have lovingly restored the premises preserving the quant conveyed features within including the soda-fountain lunch counter, tin ceiling tiles, and are currently expanding the store front facade. Every piece of chocolate is produced onsite using pure natural ingredients in their 12,000 square-foot factory preserving freshness for your taste buds.
DeFluri's Fine Chocolates began their business in Vienna Virginia and moved their factory and showroom to Martinsburg in 1998 and has since become an icon in the downtown area. Stop by their establishment and treat yourself to the finest confections imaginable.

Serving Berkeley, Jefferson and Morgan Counties since 1989. Whether buying or selling, my goal is to provide the resourses and tools necessary for an informed and stress free real estate transaction.
I am a full-time Realtor® since 1989 and love living in the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia. The tri-county is strategically located between Maryland, Virginia and Pennsylvania. Our major towns include Martinsburg, 
Charles Town, Harpers Ferry, Shepherdstown, Hedgesville, Marlowe and Inwood. Prior to becoming a licensee, I worked for Potomac Valley Properties tracking construction jobs which was then a small second home vacation community and has since been developed as The Woods Resort and golf course community.
I am proud to be affiliated with the largest real estate company in the Mid-Atlantic region and the largest privately-owned real estate company in America. Founded in 1968, Long & Foster currently has over 260 offices and 17,000 sales associates throughout Virginia, Maryland, Washington D.C., Pennsylvania, New Jersey, West Virginia, Delaware and North Carolina.
I have resided in Hedgesville with my husband, Mike since 1972. Mike Small is a published craftsman reproducing 18th Century Accouterments and we are the proud parents of two terrific daughters and a beautiful granddaughter. Our older daughter lives in Detroit Michigan and has a successful sales career in human resources with Snelling. Our younger daughter lives in Portland Oregon and is successful with her career as a footwear designer with Nike.
You were required to do much more than normal in order to sell our cabin, and we wanted you to know how very much we appreciate your going above and beyond the normal Realtor duties on our behalf...Lowell and Judith
Debbie took the time to get a feel of what we were looking for and showed appropriate properties. She saved us a lot of time and stress...Larry and Rachel
You did a wonderful job to get us what we wanted. It is our first home and you were a great help...Richard and Patricia
I could not have wished for a better salesperson than Debbie. She was always ready to answer questions and offer her knowledge and experience. Your company should be very proud with a representative such as Debbie Small. People like her are rare...Carol
