Step into a rare blend of history, character, and countryside charm with this remarkable Queen Anne Victorian estate set on 5.84 scenic acres in Frederick County. Dating back to the 1870s, this center hall-style home offers timeless architectural detail paired with thoughtful updates for today's lifestyle. Inside, the 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence showcases original moldings, three fireplaces, and beautifully preserved period features. A welcoming covered front porch leads into an elegant interior where former double parlors now create a spacious living room with custom built-ins and coffered ceilings. This home carries endless stories from the Prohibition era, when it reportedly operated as a speakeasy. A government raid during that time left seven bullet holes in the front door-still visible today-offering a rare and tangible connection to the past. One of the home's most inviting spaces, the former parlor, has been transformed into an ideal sitting room or lounge-perfect as a cozy retreat, entertaining space, or even the ultimate "man cave," blending historic charm with modern comfort. The formal dining room is ideal for entertaining, highlighted by a vintage mantel and classic French doors. The kitchen and adjoining family room strike a perfect balance of old and new, featuring glass-front cabinetry, exposed beams, and a distinctive fireplace with a hearth crafted from reclaimed antique brick. Upstairs, four bedrooms are accessed by a secondary staircase, along with a charming full bath complete with a clawfoot tub and original fixtures. The fully floored attic offers excellent storage or future expansion potential. Beyond the home, the property is equally impressive. Equestrian and hobby farm enthusiasts will appreciate the three-stall stable, multiple paddocks, fenced pasture, chicken coop, kennel, and gazebo. A detached three-car garage with upper-level space provides endless possibilities for a studio, office, or guest retreat. The peaceful setting includes a meandering creek, natural spring, and sweeping views of South Mountain. Ideally located near Brunswick, with easy access to Harpers Ferry, the C&O Canal, Appalachian Trail, and MARC train to Washington, D.C., this property offers both tranquility and convenience. Rich in character and full of opportunity, this one-of-a-kind estate is ready for its next chapter.
