605 Steinbeck Ave, Gaithersburg, MD 20878

This home truly is ‘one of a kind’. Built in 1870, this is the original Crown Manor House with a breezy front porch and towering ten foot ceilings. But when you step inside, you’re welcomed by a thoroughly modern interior that was completely renovated in 2021 down to the studs with new electrical, plumbing, flooring, kitchen and baths. It’s historic, but it’s also completely new! The main level has a huge open plan with a modern kitchen, dining area and living room. There's a main-level owner's suite with a fireplace, huge closet and private bath. A laundry room, half bath and access to the basement are also on this level. There's another private suite on the upper level with an elegant private bath and a huge side porch. Two additional oversized bedrooms and hall bath are on the upper level. With 0.38 acres adjacent to green space maintained by the City of Gaithersburg, the property enjoys an expansive sense of space. The home includes a new two-car garage, a separate storage shed (the home’s original ‘Ice House’), and a historic ‘Log House’ that’s 15’ X 18’ with a main level and a loft. The Log House is unfinished and would be a perfect space for a professional private practice, an art studio, the ultimate gym, a tiny home/accessory dwelling unit, and more – so many possibilities! This is a historic property in the City of Gaithersburg and currently enjoys lower property taxes as a result. And it’s not in the Crown HOA so no HOA rules! Even better, this property is zoned as ‘mixed use’, so it has potential commercial usage. Absolutely, positively one of a kind!
