16305 SAINT MARYS CHURCH RD Aquasco, MD 20608

Beautiful historic home originally built in 1849 as St. Marys Rectory was converted to a private residence over 40 years ago, is located on 5 acres of land, and made part of the National Register of Historic Places in 1987. This Greek-revival style home has been meticulously maintained over the years, and boasts 5 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, a gourmet kitchen, screened-in porch, and incredible original details. Once inside the front door you'll be immediately captivated by the beautiful pine floors, and a spacious entry hall which provides access to the formal living room and dining room each with their own fireplaces. Adjacent to the living room is the main level bedroom/office, and also on the main floor is a full bathroom, laundry room, and two fireplaces. Located off of the dining room, is the spectacular chef's kitchen, which includes granite counters, a gas range, stainless appliances, and direct access to the screened-in porch, rear terrace, and a wonderful view of the expansive grounds. Head upstairs to the second level, and in addition to the three spacious bedrooms and a full bathroom, you'll find a bonus 4th bedroom which has been converted to a walk-in closet and dressing room, but could easily be changed back to a bedroom. The third level provides a very private 5th bedroom, or the space for a magnificent studio or work-from-home loft. Dramatic natural light shines through over 30 windows from all sides of the home, and you'll be pleasantly surprised as the closet space far exceeds what is expected of a home from this era. The modern updates are evident throughout, such as central heating and air conditioning, tankless water heater and updated bathrooms, but they have been seamlessly integrated during the restorations and renovations over the years and the home continues to exude its original mid-19th century charm. Other features of this exquisite property include a 6-stall run-in barn, an additional 2-level workshop/barn, a storage shed, and a 30,000 square foot (approx.) fenced-in area for a garden or other agricultural use. Located less than a 50 minute drive from Washington, D.C., Alexandria, VA, and Annapolis, MD, this could be an everyday home or the perfect getaway. Come and experience it for yourself!
