29 FULTON AVENUE, Walkersville, MD 21793

Step into the timeless elegance of 29 Fulton Avenue, a beautifully preserved Victorian residence built in 1897 and deeply rooted in the history of Walkersville. Constructed with three-brick-thick exterior walls using bricks produced by the historic Walkersville Brick & Tile Works, this three-story home offers over 3,000 sq. ft. of finished living space, soaring ceilings, and craftsmanship rarely found in modern construction. Original architectural details have been thoughtfully preserved, including tall moldings, decorative crown trim, heart pine floors, transom windows, ceiling medallions, pocket doors, built-in cabinetry, and even a newel post cap with a hidden compartment. The foyer sets the tone, opening to rooms designed for both everyday living and elegant entertaining. The dining room is a true centerpiece, featuring bay windows with plantation shutters, a tray ceiling, a striking chandelier, and a wood/gas fireplace. Ten-foot pocket doors lead into the kitchen, where a custom wood-burning masonry heater, crafted from original bricks uncovered during the home’s 2013 renovation, serves as both a functional cooking feature and a tribute to the home’s past. Soapstone countertops, stainless steel appliances, and generous maple cabinetry combine warmth with modern convenience. Adjacent to the kitchen, a versatile bonus room with a second wall oven functions as a butler’s pantry or prep space. Just beyond, a cozy side porch with a swing offers a quiet place to relax and enjoy the surrounding property. The family room blends comfort and history, featuring a Bartlett Hayward Latrobe stove, modifiable for propane, surround-sound speaker access grates, hidden stair-step storage, and a concealed drawer for media components. Stained-glass doors, exposed brick, ornate chandeliers, and a classic claw-foot tub add character throughout the home. A custom iron handrail accents the third staircase, while a heated-floor mudroom provides practical access to a secondary entry. The bright and inviting four-season room, surrounded by floor-to-ceiling Eze-Breeze windows, offers a peaceful space to read, entertain, or enjoy the snow during winter months. Upstairs, four spacious bedrooms continue the theme of natural light and preserved detail. A modern full bath and dedicated laundry area add convenience. The primary bedroom features a bay window with plantation shutters and direct access to the bath. One rear bedroom connects to the home’s third staircase, believed to have been used by household staff in the late 19th century. An expansive bonus room with exposed brick and built-in cabinetry provides flexible space for work, hobbies, or a studio. The walk-up attic offers over 1,700 sq. ft. of spray-foam-insulated, floored space, providing an incredible opportunity for future expansion or additional living areas. Set on a 0.51-acre lot, the property features a blend of mature landscaping and open yard space. The exterior trim and carriage house were freshly painted in 2023. Outdoor features include a spacious driveway, a charming carriage house/potting shed, a fenced courtyard, and a relaxing hot tub. The home’s wide front porch showcases intricate gingerbread trim and distinctive Frederick-style handrails, complemented by a custom wrought-iron fence, gas-lit porch lamps, the original mail slot, and a mechanical doorbell. The roof combines slate and asphalt, with period lightning rods and classic half-round gutters. Connected to city water and equipped with a whole-house filtration system, the home blends historic character with modern functionality. From this central location, residents can enjoy a truly walkable lifestyle with easy access to schools, parks, churches, restaurants, the library, and local shops. Historic homes of this caliber rarely come to market, offering exceptional character, generous space, and over a century of careful stewardship. Photos may be virtually staged
