Own a piece of Frederick history in this beautifully appointed home set on 1 acre with woods, and a rolling front yard, overlooked by a storybook front porch. This stunning stone home is a classic piece of early Maryland Quaker architecture. The double front doors were originally used as separate entrances for men and women, however now welcomes all who cross its threshold. The foyer entry could serve several purposes or uses for its new owners. Den/Foyer/Office/Library. The front parlor off of the entry is focused on the wood burning fireplace and would be a spectacular sitting/living room. This original part of the home has classic Quaker understated wood features. The thoughtfully blended addition adds a kitchen and dining room. The kitchen has views to the front yard, wood counters, and a nod to the house's historic charm. The dining area has a slider to the side porch/screened in porch to enjoy the scenic views of this property from all angles.

Head up the wide staircase in the addition part of the home and find an upper level sitting area with high ceilings and beautiful windows allowing natural light to stream in. The upper level of this home offers four bedrooms. For a historic home, "The Captain" offers a shocking amount of closet space and generous sized rooms. Unique to the upper level are built-in book shelves in the hallway and a full storage closet. The smallest bedroom has access to the attic to use however you imagine the space. The upper level full bath has a soaking tub and a lovely update. With no official historic designation, there is no limit to what you can do with this home.
