Coming soon - a rare offering nestled immediately outside of Church Hill. This distinctive property combines history, privacy, and complete freedom of use on over three picturesque acres in Queen Anne’s County. With no HOA, or covenants and restrictions, you have the flexibility to create the lifestyle you’ve envisioned—whether that includes animals, expansive gardens, hobby spaces, or simply room to breathe. A scenic, tree-lined drive welcomes you to a timeless Colonial residence originally built in 1735. Inside, more than 2,800 square feet of living space blend preserved historic details with modern enhancements. Original hardwood flooring, exposed brick accents, hand-hewn beams, and a charming wood-burning stove reflect the home’s heritage, while thoughtful updates and a completely renovated kitchen provide everyday comfort. The main level also includes a formal dining room, spacious living room, full bath, and a bright all-season room overlooking the grounds. Upstairs, you’ll find two generously sized bedrooms, a dedicated office or optional fourth bedroom, and a third-floor retreat offering two additional flexible rooms suited for bedrooms, studios, or creative workspaces. Outbuildings add exceptional versatility to the property, including a substantial pole barn with electricity, a historic granary equipped with water and electric, a chicken coop, and multiple additional structures ideal for storage, workshops, or hobbies. The grounds are beautifully maintained, offering a park-like setting with mature landscaping, open lawns, and garden spaces. A custom fire pit creates the perfect backdrop for peaceful evenings, and a fenced rear yard adds convenience and comfort. Recent improvements include new kitchen, interior paint, upgraded appliances, an on-demand propane hot water system, a new deep well and well pump, and a septic system installed in 2019. Set among scenic farmland yet just minutes from Route 301, this remarkable Church Hill property offers both serenity and accessibility—an uncommon opportunity to own a historic home with acreage and unrestricted potential.
