Property Description
Historic charm is showcased throughout with grand front and rear staircases, built in cabinetry, millwork, trim, moldings, wainscoting, plinth blocks, glass, pocket doors, doors, balusters, rails, hinges, knobs, architectural radiators, archways, wooden floors and two original Rumford corner fireplaces. The renovated first-floor blends period character with modern updates featuring a new eat-in island kitchen with walk through cabinetry to a scullery/laundry, updated parlor/game room, three bedrooms and three new/updated bathrooms. That is three full bathrooms and at least three bedrooms on the first floor! The westerly side of the first floor offers a wing connecting a primary suite (inclusive of two bathrooms) to a library/office to the parlor and central hall. The back entrance includes a mudroom area with access to a new bathroom and central hallway. The easterly side of the first floor has two bedrooms and a full bathroom. Bonus areas exist under the staircases. Versatile spaces (9 rooms) on the second floor are ready to be finished with additional bedrooms, baths, offices, or fit for multigenerational living. A bright landing with built in bookshelves creates a welcoming library/lounge on the second floor as well. The third floor includes a heated living space and storage.
Major upgrades include a new two zoned central HVAC system along with a high efficiency boiler for hot water and/or adjustable radiant heating, electric upgraded to 320 Amp service and the whole home has been rewired. The front entrance doorway has been brought back to the original woodwork with restored leaded glass sidelights and transom lights. The large front and side wrapped porch have been refreshed.
Off-street access with ample parking is available to the property from Choptank Avenue where there is also room for a "carriage house"/garage -workshop, garden, boat storage and pool.
