Truly a trip back in time! This is the Joshua Lackland Higgins House and was built in 1865 - that is NOT a typo - and has NEVER BEEN AVAILABLE FOR SALE before. This amazing historic home is on the Maryland Inventory of Historic Properties (see attached documentation) and situated on almost THREE secluded acres yet just minutes from Ft Meade/NSA and a quick drive to Annapolis/DC/Baltimore. . While there are some amazing ORIGINAL elements of this incredible home, it has the benefits of some modern upgrades including Central A/C, public water, public sewer, and updated electric panel. This would be a GREAT project for someone who wants to restore a truly historic home and may possibly qualify for the County Historic Preservation Tax Credit Program.
