7000 Brink Rd, Gaithersburg, MD 20882

Calling historic home lovers!! This could be "it!" Presenting the historic Layton House, which is listed in the coveted National Register of Historic Places and designated an Historic Site in the Montgomery County and Laytonsville Master Plans. Built in the late 18th century, the Layton House is sited on over half an acre and has all the vintage charm of yesteryear, the serenity and peace of the country, along with the modern conveniences of today, and proximity to major commuter routes. From the historical record "The Layton house, built by the family from whom the town [Laytonsville] takes its name, is in part of Montgomery County that was sparsely settled by holders of large tracts of land until the Revolutionary War era and that was never to see houses built in a formal Federal ... style. It is remarkable, therefore, that the first house built in the present town and the focal point around which Laytonsville was developed is a self-consciously Federal-style house...." Charming from the outside, the true grace shines through once inside. The sweeping foyer has an elegant three story staircase, and the spacious living and dining rooms have generous 10 foot ceilings. There are original wide-planked pine floors throughout the home, along with other vintage features including period bullseye mouldings and trim. The country kitchen has been expanded and updated, is flooded with natural light, and includes a working fireplace! Up one level are three large bedrooms, the laundry nook, and a renovated full bath. One of these oversized bedrooms has its own terrace for enjoying the morning sun. Up another level is the perfect au-pair or in-law suite with beamed ceilings and its own bathroom. Outside, the property includes a shed and an historic log cabin, beautiful boxwoods and other lush plantings, along with vegetable beds ready for the summer's tomato crop! With driveways on both Brink Road and Laytonsville Road, there is ample parking for friends and family, and easy access to commuter routes including Routes 124, 108, 200, and 370 and I270 north or south. All in all, a lovely place to call "home" -- or could also be the perfect spot for a commercial use when owner occupied (for more see Town of Laytonsville Master Plan). Freshly painted inside, in a designer curated tone on tone palette, and ready for the next chapter!
