On the banks of Prettyboy Reservoir, you’ll find this 16-acre estate, offering a blend of history, privacy and natural beauty. At its heart stands a circa 1858 brick home, complemented by a collection of charming outbuildings suitable for a variety of uses. This is an opportunity to own one of Baltimore County’s most distinctive properties.

The main residence is a four-bedroom, five-bath home with original hardwood floors, intricate millwork and multiple wood-burning fireplaces. The main level features sitting rooms and a sunroom that runs nearly the length of the home. Each sitting room has a fireplace and built-ins, including the stately “Blue Sitting Room” with a wet bar.

Below the main level are the dining room and kitchen. The formal dining room is warm and comfortable, with a massive fireplace, wood paneling and an exposed beam ceiling. The kitchen is a sunny space with lots of storage, a massive center island and high-end appliances. It walks out to the grounds and a winding brick patio, suitable for dining al fresco.

Upstairs, two stories of living space contain the private bedrooms. The primary suite has a spacious bedroom, two walk-in closets and two bathrooms.
