The wait is over—this 1930s masterpiece is BACK on the market and in bloom for Spring after a quiet Winter hiatus. If you missed your chance last year, now is the time. This home perfectly balances classic elegance and refinement with 21st-century luxury and proximity to town. Nestled in sought-after Ijamsville, between historic New Market and the popular Oakdale area, this estate offers a rare blend of old-world charm and 2020s convenience. The reimagined kitchen is a showstopper, blending high-end functionality with soulful history in the true heart of this home. Custom-glazed vanilla cabinets featuring soft-close drawers and built-ins like spice racks hit the mark, while the crystal-accented pulls shine under vaulted ceilings with wood-adorned beams plus views of the curated landscape outside. The one-of-a-kind antique wood entertaining island repurposed from a historic store display is a true centerpiece, perfect for displaying buffet or hostess items, or simply giving ample counter space to plan and execute culinary masterpieces. The upgraded appliances spare no exception to the luxury, featuring a six-burner gas range, convenient pot filler, and French door refrigerator. A cozy upholstered breakfast nook gives daily glamour to casual coffee mornings, and a formal dining room defined by iconic columns and a sparkling chandelier provide a more formal entertaining space for guests and special meals. Every inch of this residence oozes with historic soul, having been meticulously maintained to preserve the architectural DNA, while integrating modern essentials and creature comforts like central AC, dual water heaters (for the two soaking tubs), a luxurious Owner’s suite, and an easy to operate fireplace insert giving warmth and ambiance at the click of a button. Authentic details envelop you in charm, including 10′ ceilings in the main living spaces, period moulding, original character hardwoods, original and curated replica chandeliers, solid brass hardware, intricate original glasswork, and the traditional fireplace surround/mantle–just for starters. Multiple “flex” rooms can be tasked to deftly serve as full-time bedrooms, home offices, or hobby spaces—including a main-level artist’s workshop with private back patio access that flanks a convenient full bathroom, which could be easily utilized as a main level bed/bath space. The reimagined upper level is mostly dedicated to a sprawling primary suite entered through stained-glass double doors. It features a marble-clad ensuite bath with a jetted corner tub and separate shower with seat, a quaint vanity nook, and an upholstered window seat. Here you will find incredible storage options, with nearly a dozen closets and built-ins sprinkled throughout the space, plus a private laundry room with even more storage area. Lose yourself in the outdoor dreamscape, designed for those who love to entertain or just spend solitary times close to home in style. Directly off of the kitchen space you will find a spacious cocktail patio with stone-front serving bar and whimsical gazebo, and to the other side of the grounds sits a custom pavilion anchored by a cozy wood-burning natural stone fireplace. A charming semi-finished accessory cottage adorned with storybook flower boxes makes for a perfect for a studio or even guest overflow in a pinch, and an additional storage shed keeps all of your landscape tools stored out of sight. The curated grounds come alive each spring with annual plantings, mature hedges and landscape beds, majestic hardwood and evergreen trees, and a separate hobby garden area, all with views easily enjoyed rain or shine on one of the two classic covered porches. A traditional long paved drive adds drama and an estate feel to the approach of the home, terminating at the detached two-car garage with opener and separate rear door access, providing plenty of privacy from the road. Minutes from Lake Linganore Town Center, Downtown Frederick, and historic New Market.
