Strawboard Mill in historic Chestertown, Maryland, includes the owner’s cottage, loft apartment, and the four brick townhomes. In the late 1800's, the Chestertown Paper Mill was the largest employer in Kent County. Farmers would sell their straw to the mill for "strawboard", a lightweight cardboard. The original duplexes were built as factory-worker housing, without indoor plumbing! Over the past 100 years, how they have changed! Previous owners gutted the townhouses down to their double-brick walls and have completely revitalized them with modern conveniences and the amenities you see pictured. The property has been improved with public water and sewer, and every townhouse has been LEAD-FREE CERTIFIED by the Maryland Department of the Environment. In 2005, the owner’s cottage was built on the property. This custom-designed, three-bedroom, two-bath cottage boasts wood beams, planked ceilings, chair railing, and crown molding. In addition, two finished garages, a workshop, and loft apartment compliment the Cape Cod. A secluded wildlife refuge skirting the garden, tile patio, and backyard grants privacy on the half acre lot. Meticulous care, convenient location and hands-on management make for a top pick!
