It is situated on 136 acres of beautiful farmland in a secluded valley of rolling hills, woods, and two clear streams and surrounded by fertile productive working farms. The builder was one of seven farmers who formed the nation’s first farmers marketing organization, selling in Baltimore. This was a predecessor of the National Grange and Farm Bureau Federation. It is also believed to have been part of the Underground Railroad. As you enter the main hall, the original four rooms are the dining room and formal parlor on the right and the two bedrooms above them. The rooms to the left below and above were built a bit later, thus the two front doors. The original brick end barn, built in 1811, burned down in 1987. The original kitchen was outside, and some stones from the foundation can still be seen. The property was originally part of Frederick County, so research of the deeds is challenging. The house is very unique with 18th century architecture, hand-crafted woodwork, hardware, most floors are original chestnut, four rooms re-floored with fine oak, nine foot ceilings, fourteen inch thick brick walls, stone foundation, eight original fireplaces, original glass in most of 9 over 6 windows, beautiful center hall, three attics and staircases, two enclosed heated porches, a fully heated, air-conditioned sun room overlooking the patio, stream, both farm and wild animals, and a full variety of wild birds. The house is fully restored with care to preserve historical features. Beautiful crystal chandeliers grace the formal parlor, dining room and great hall. The kitchen was completely restored in 1985, opening up the fireplace, exposing the half- sawn oak floors, and Master Cabinet Maker, William Duble installing hand crafted oak cabinets, butcher block counters and pantry to match the original one that has a dumb waiter. Other things to consider: The many beautiful views from the sunroom, sunset from the upstairs sun porch, deer in the rolling hills from the front porch swing, walking or riding horseback on the farm, growing vegetables, herbs, flowers, or exploring the woods and streams.
