Rarely does a historical home like this come available for purchase. Welcome to "Brookeville Woolen Mill & House", Circa 1780-1800. Listed on The National Historic Register as well as the Montgomery County Listing of Historic Places. The perfect piece of Montgomery County history is in a dream location and includes 13.24 idyllic acres surrounded by nature with its own pond, a meandering stream, and adjoining Hawlings River Stream Valley, with 550 acres of undeveloped parkland. The current owners hired an award-winning local architect, Miche Booz, to design a gorgeous three-level addition to the house increasing the finished living space to approximately 4,055 square feet. The addition provides larger and more modern spaces in which to live and compliments the lovely character and architecture of the historic home which has been meticulously cared for and updated top to bottom with preserved timestamps at every turn including exposed wood beams, original stone and hardwood floors, and doors. The well-designed addition features gleaming walnut flooring, a main-level family room with a stone wood burning fireplace, walls of glass and access to the deck, a main-level bedroom with an attached full bath, a second-level primary suite with a private balcony, and a spa-like bath, an upper-level sitting area and laundry center, and a spacious lower-level storage/utility room. The 1783 section of the home features an updated kitchen with wood custom built Kennebec cabinets, soapstone, and wood counters, a spacious breakfast room with access to a covered porch, a formal dining room with wood burning fireplace, and access to the large covered porch, a music room with wood burning fireplace, two upper-level bedrooms plus full bath and a lower level with stone flooring, a powder room, a 5th bedroom, a utility room and a keeping room with a large wood burning fireplace and access to the yard. The opportunities are limitless as this bucolic property welcomes you to leave your own mark in history. This magnificent property boasts multiple buildings in addition to the main house, a detached oversized four-car garage with a spacious upper-level storage area, and the original stone mill building with electricity, two finished levels plus a basement. Through the past two decades electrical, plumbing, and mechanical systems have either been replaced entirely or significantly improved. Numerous updates include extensive chimney repairs, copper and cedar shake roofs, a newly installed generator, freshly painted exterior wood siding, and so much more! Please note that the 3,455 above-grade and below-grade square footage was taken off of an appraisal the current owner had done after the addition was completed. DO NOT ENTER THE DRIVEWAY WITHOUT A SCHEDULED AND CONFIRMED APPOINTMENT.
