Welcome to Historic Oakwood, cir. 1850. Step back in time and immerse yourself in the rich history of Maryland with this unique opportunity to own a piece of the past. From the freshly paved driveway you can see the house appearing through the old-growth trees as you arrive down the circular drive. In front of the home are gardens and parking for additional vehicles and guests. The entire home is freshly painted with brand new custom wooden shutters, reproduced to match the historic character. Step onto the custom Maryland flag stamped concrete out front and you can picture relaxation on the deep front porch, perfect for enjoying a summer afternoon. Even for the time period, the interior open Foyer and turned staircase were unique, and the Double Parlor design is described in the National Historic Registry listing for this property. On the right side of the Foyer is the original Office and floor to ceiling bookshelves on two walls. Beyond the front Office is a spacious Living Room with an original wood burning fireplace. This room opens to the Dining Room on the right, also with an original fireplace. Both rooms contain expansive glass french doors that open to the renovated Back Porch. To the Left of the Dining Room, you will find the fully stocked Butler’s Pantry, ready to receive guests with plenty of storage and wet bar. The Kitchen was renovated in 2021 with all new cabinets, appliances and counters, plus a reverse osmosis system. An early 20th century brick hearth fireplace complete with dutch oven encompasses the back wall. While a smaller pantry takes advantage of extra space behind a staircase, around the corner from the Kitchen contains a small Breakfast nook and private porch perfect for enjoying your morning coffee as the sun rises. Finally, a Butler’s Pantry and 2nd Half Bath are found at the end of that hallway.
Oakwood was renovated in 2019 with a two story addition to the right side of the house. On the main level, this addition leads from the Living Room to the Family Room/Study. This is the room to get away and relax, with 11’ bookshelves, a gas fireplace, and secret hidden door leading to another half bath, and mud room entrance. Mud Room includes a tall dog bath station.
Leading from the Kitchen to the back staircase, you’ll find the first spacious Guest Bedroom and full Hall Bath. Another large Bedroom backs to the newer Primary Suite beyond, with another Full Bath at the end of the hall and main staircase. Both Bedrooms are fit for a King or Queen! The Primary Suite boasts a newer gas Fireplace, as well as luxurious Primary Bath nearly as large as the bedroom itself. Be ready to pamper yourself in the freestanding tub before a roaring gas fireplace, or shower in the oversized open tiled walk-in shower. Your custom closet around the corner from the double sinks can hold all of your clothing and laundry needs.
The third floor contains two more special Bedrooms, quiet and private, with much natural light as in the rest of the home. Beyond the beauty of the home’s interior, many new updates and upgrades make this incredible home a mix of old world and modern living. All baths and Kitchen renovated/updated in 2020/2021. New Roof in 2024. The home went through a full electrical upgrade in 2021 with two new Leviton 200amp fully automated panels and a new transformer. Never fear a power outage with the outfitted 26kw LPG Generac Generator. Just a few of the many upgrades- check the documents section for a full list! Live, Work, Play....this home has it all. While the current owners have occupied the home, it has amazing potential for Event Planning, Short-Term Rental Income, and more. Located minutes from Annapolis and within 45 minutes of Washington, D.C. and Baltimore.
