Perched on just over half an acre of fenced land framed by mature trees, the charming, “Red House on the Hill” welcomes you home via flagstone steps and a gracious winding drive. Fully renovated in 2022, including a new roof, the approximately 1,772-square-foot residence blends timeless character with thoughtful modern updates and enjoys a setting just minutes from historic New Market.
Morning light fills the east/southeast-facing main level, where 7-inch hardwood floors, exposed beamed ceilings, expansive casement windows, custom built-ins, and a cozy fireplace create inviting spaces to gather. The renovated kitchen is both functional and beautifully finished. An oversized farmhouse sink overlooks the screened-in porch and backyard, while a generous island provides ample prep space and storage. Crown molding, pendant and recessed lighting, and GE appliances — including a five-burner electric stove/oven and microwave — complete the space.
The main-level primary suite offers a private retreat with a quartz-topped dual vanity and a glass-enclosed shower accented with herringbone tile. A second renovated full bath on the main level is windowed and includes a tub/shower combination, offering both natural light and flexibility for guests or everyday use.
Upstairs, two additional bedrooms with new carpet share a renovated full bath featuring large-format tile flooring and a glass-enclosed shower with built-in niches.
The finished lower level adds flexibility with newer laminate flooring, recessed lighting, a wood-burning stove, and a spacious second living area. A full-size washer and dryer, utility sink, extensive storage, upgraded electrical service, and an additional refrigerator/freezer that conveys enhance everyday functionality.
Outdoor living is equally appealing, with a screened-in porch overlooking the backyard, while a large shed with built-ins, a workbench, and electricity offers excellent space for hobbies or storage. Additional systems provide year-round comfort and efficiency, including a whole-home humidifier and a water softener and filtration system installed in 2023.
Just minutes from the charm of historic Main Street New Market — home to Prospect Pantry, 5 West Café, and Vintage Restaurant — as well as nearby everyday conveniences, the home offers the best of small-town character with the ease of a residential neighborhood setting. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate proximity to Whiskey Creek, PB Dye, and Holly Hills Country Club, along with parks and recreation options such as Adventure Park USA and area walking trails. Easy access to Route 40, I-70, and I-270 provides convenient commuting to Frederick, Montgomery County, Baltimore, and beyond. The property is also surrounded by highly rated Frederick County schools.
Charming, thoughtfully updated, and beautifully sited, 114 Royal Oak Drive offers warmth, character, and everyday convenience in one of Frederick County’s most desirable communities.
