Welcome to the historic village of Bel Alton, Maryland—and this beautifully updated turn-of-the-century farmhouse. Built around 1900, this classic two-story home blends timeless farmhouse architecture with modern comforts. The inviting front porch and symmetrical façade lead into a fully remodeled interior featuring a parlor-style dining room; a large, remodeled, gourmet kitchen; a center hallway with powder room, spacious pantry, and utilities; along with a bright sunporch opening to the deck. Upstairs offers three spacious bedrooms, generous closets, and an updated bath. Interior highlights include original pine flooring, luxury vinyl plank flooring, recessed lighting, and premium appliances—including a full-size, panel-ready Miele fridge that matches the cabinets, a separate freezer, an induction cooktop, a convection oven, and a newer hood vent. Modern systems ensure year-round comfort: two-zone oil hot water baseboard heat, central A/C, a 2024 mini-split in the sunroom, a high-efficiency 40-gallon hot water storage tank, a 2023 deep-water well, and a 2023 state-of-the-art Best Available Technology (BAT) septic system for efficient wastewater treatment. Two outdoor sheds provide ample storage for garden tools, outdoor gear, or even a home gym. Spread across 2.25 acres of mostly cleared land and gardens, the property is ideal for vegetable and flower gardening, family gatherings, outdoor games, or allowing pets to roam free. Located in Bel Alton—established in 1873 and formerly known as Cox’s Station—this is one of Charles County’s best-preserved historic railroad villages. You’ll enjoy the peace of country living with convenient access to Naval Support Activity Dahlgren, NAS Pax River, Chapel Point State Park (boating, beaching, picnicking, fishing, hiking), popular Pope’s Creek restaurants, downtown La Plata, and a quick commute to D. C.
