The east coast is sprinkled with homes that date back to the time of English settlers and the birth of the United States. Especially in states that were part of the original Thirteen Colonies, such as Maryland. Sitting in Keymar, Maryland, which is close to the Pennsylvania border, this circa-1769 home reflects the Georgian-style architecture of that era. Of course, it has been beautifully renovated over the years to exude a rich, colorful persona and is currently listed for $2,999,999.
Known as ‘The Abbey,’ the estate belongs to the National Register of Historical Places, a designation given by the US government to places worth preserving for their historical significance or high artistic value. With great care, the property has received over one million dollars worth of renovations, showcasing unique finishes around natural wood and stone all while honoring the original spirit of the home.
Offering a total of 5,227 square feet, the eclectic main house holds intricate wallpapers and a blend of elegant yet rustic elements, calling out to a person looking to live a fashionable lifestyle in a historical setting. Reclaimed wood from the original property finds a place, as do new brazen hues. The kitchen is accented with bright blue cabinets, and also features a stone wood-burning fireplace. A playful green sitting room is vibrant enough to wake anyone up, even post-holiday dinner, while the moody dining room exudes a more neutral, refined feel.
Upstairs, four bedrooms and five private bathrooms allow for quiet R&R. Plus, across the 25-acre grounds there are several other structures to explore. Two large garages stand ready to please the auto, fitness, or hobby enthusiast. Meanwhile, the carriage house is perfect for giving overnight guests their own space, too.
Daniel Heider and Thanasi Anagnostopoulos of Sotheby’s International Realty hold the listing, which is just an hour drive to both Washington D.C. and Baltimore.
