Historic Charm Meets Modern Livability Discover a captivating blend of Maryland history and contemporary comfort at this lovingly preserved 1853 farmhouse, nestled on nearly two wooded acres along picturesque Spencerville Road in Burtonsville. A registered historic property, this rare offering combines timeless craftsmanship, modern upgrades, and an idyllic setting. Perfect for those who appreciate character, privacy, and the beauty of nature, this very special property retains its classic colonial charm, traditional layout, and historic character, while offering modern upgrades. Ideal for expansion, hobbies, or creative vision. Inside, approximately 1,576 square feet of warm and inviting living space highlights hardwood and teak flooring, original built-ins, and sun-filled rooms that exude the charm of a bygone era. The updated kitchen impresses with leathered granite countertops, professional Viking and Bosch stainless appliances, and an open connection to the cozy side porch, ideal for morning coffee, outdoor dining, or evening relaxation. The main level also includes laundry and a half bath, while the upper level offers three comfortable bedrooms, a full bath, and a large walk-in closet. Recent improvements include a new metal roof (2018), HVAC (2018), water heater (2018), and newer windows ensure modern reliability without compromising the home’s authenticity. Outside, the property unfolds like a rural retreat. The covered front porch welcomes guests with old-world charm, while the side porch off the kitchen provides a tranquil spot to unwind. The expansive 1.95-acre setting features majestic mature trees, open lawns, and multiple historic outbuildings, including the original barn, a secondary barn, and a stone smokehouse—each echoing the home’s rich agricultural past. A large four-car garage offers space for vehicles, hobbies, or collections, while two fenced vegetable gardens, a root cellar with exterior entry, and a fire pit make outdoor living both practical and delightful. Partially fenced and surrounded by scenic woodlands, this property invites endless possibilities for gardens, gatherings, or creative expansion; all while preserving a tangible link to Maryland’s storied heritage. 2708 Spencerville Road is more than a home; it’s a timeless haven where history, nature, and modern living come together beautifully.
