Huge Price Reduction on this modernized Historic home! This unforgettable property offers a truly timeless and peaceful experience but is less than 10 minutes from Historic Waterfront Galesville with dining, shopping, Regatta, antiques, farmers markets and more! As you arrive down the freshly paved circular driveway you can see the house appearing through old-growth trees. In front of the home are gardens and parking for additional vehicles and guests. You’ll see a custom Maryland flag stamped concrete in front of the home, and a stamped concrete path leading around the back to more gardens and a walking path. The entire house has been freshly painted with brand new custom wooden shutters, reproduced to match the historic character. Just picture yourself sipping lemonade on the deep front and back porch porches overlooking your gardens! Even for the time period, the interior open Foyer and turned staircase were unique, and the Double Parlor design is described in the National Historic Registry listing for this property. On the right side of the Foyer is the original Office with custom bookshelves. Beyond the Foyer are dual parlors containing floor to ceiling french doors that open to a deep back Porch, and large chandeliers which sparkle in the natural light. To the left of the Dining Room, you will find a fully stocked Butler’s Pantry, ready to receive guests with plenty of storage and wet bar. The Kitchen was renovated in 2021 with all new cabinets, appliances and counters, plus a reverse osmosis system. An early 20th century brick hearth fireplace complete with cast iron dutch oven encompasses the back wall. Around the corner from the Kitchen you will see a small Breakfast nook and private porch perfect for enjoying your morning coffee as the sun rises. A Butler’s Pantry and 2nd Half Bath are found at the end of that hallway. Oakwood was renovated in 2019 with a two story addition to the right side of the house. On the main level, this addition leads from the Formal Living Room to the Family Room/Study. 11’ bookshelves containing a secret hidden door lead to another half bath, and private mud room entrance. On the second floor above the Kitchen you’ll find the first spacious Guest Bedroom and full Hall Bath. Another large Bedroom backs to the newer Primary Suite beyond, with a second Full Bath at the end of the hall and main staircase. Both Bedrooms are fit for royalty! The Primary Suite boasts a newer gas Fireplace, as well as luxurious Primary Bath nearly as large as the bedroom itself. Be ready to pamper yourself in the freestanding tub before a roaring gas fireplace and custom mantle, or shower in the oversized open tiled walk-in shower. Your custom closet around the corner from the double sinks can hold all of your clothing and laundry needs. The third floor contains two more special Bedrooms, quiet and private, with much natural light as in the rest of the home. Beyond the beauty of the home’s interior, many new updates and upgrades make this incredible home a mix of old world and modern living. All baths and Kitchen were renovated/updated in 2020-2021. New Roof in 2024. The home went through a full electrical upgrade in 2021 with two new Leviton 200 amp fully automated panels and a new transformer. Never fear a power outage with the outfitted 26kw LPG Generac Generator. Just a few of many upgrades- check the documents section for a full list! Live, Work, Play....this home has it all. While the current owners have occupied the home, it has amazing potential for Event Planning, Short-Term Rental Income, and more. Located 15 minutes from Annapolis and within 45 minutes of Washington, D.C. and Baltimore. Don’t miss the chance to dine on crabs by the water in nearby Galesville, Shady Side or Deale. Looking for a place to launch your boat? Oakwood is 10 minutes from West River Sailing Club & Hartge Yacht Harbor.
