Tucked away on a quiet dead-end street at the top of the neighborhood, this charming mid-1950s home offers a rare combination of privacy, natural beauty, and convenience. Enjoy mountain views and mature trees while being just one block from Frederick's Golden Mile and within walking distance of Warehouse Cinemas. Set on a beautifully landscaped 0.58-acre lot, the fully fenced backyard is a standout feature. Thoughtfully designed with gated upper and lower yard areas, it provides flexible spaces for pets, children, entertaining, or gardening. Dog owners will especially appreciate the expansive fenced yard, often described as having its own private dog park. In 2024, eight professionally planted Thuja Green Giant evergreens were added to enhance privacy for years to come. The backyard is made for entertaining, featuring an inviting patio, in-ground pool, pool shed, and plenty of room to gather with family and friends. A large powered storage shed provides excellent space for hobbies, tools, or additional storage. Inside, abundant natural light fills the spacious living and dining rooms through oversized picture windows. The home offers three bedrooms, two full baths, and a half bath, including a generously sized primary bedroom. The walk-out lower level provides additional versatility with a large bonus room ideal for a home office, recreation room, gym, or guest space, plus generous pantry and storage areas. A newer washer and dryer with steam settings add everyday convenience. The mature landscape includes an impressive collection of trees, including evergreens, a dwarf Japanese maple, pin oak, holly, maple, and a magnificent magnolia tree that creates a beautiful welcome each spring. Additional highlights include well water, a newer septic system installed by the previous owners (approximately 2019–2020), and a spacious driveway with ample parking for guests. If you've been looking for a home that offers peaceful surroundings, exceptional outdoor living, and easy access to shopping, dining, entertainment, and commuter routes, this property delivers the best of both worlds.
Golden Mile, located between Downtown Frederick and Ballenger Creek, is a commercial and auto-oriented Frederick neighborhood with big-box corridors and pockets of older garden apartments. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along West Patrick Street (US-40) at the Route 85 interchange, where plazas, service shops, and late-night eats line wide sidewalks and parking lots. Warehouse Cinemas Frederick and the Frederick Towne Mall site act as long-running local anchors for errands and entertainment. Architecture skews toward mid-century strip retail, low-rise multifamily, and newer pad-site development. Carroll Creek and Baker Park sit a short drive east, while Ballenger Creek Park adds trails and fields to the south.
