Welcome to the Historical Shabby Hall Estate, a cozy oasis and a piece of Calvert County History. Originally constructed in 1738, this is one of the few homes transported by Perry Van Vleck by barge from Virginia to Huntingtown in 1973. At that time, it was put on a new foundation and the electricity and plumbing were updated. Looking for rich, one-of-a-kind history and all the upgrades and amenities of a modern home? Trust us, Shabby Hall's name is based solely on urban legend. This home has everything you could ever want. Main House has 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. The Carriage house has 1 bedroom and one bath. Nestled in a secluded wood, surrounded by the most beautiful colors of fall, feel at one with nature, history, and yourself. Immediately you're enveloped by the gorgeous, private yard that has been thoughtfully and immaculately landscaped featuring an in-ground pool, a heated playhouse w/ electric, potters shed, custom arbors, a pond, and a gated entry. The home is a traditional (and literal) Colonial with classic shutters and dormer windows, brick fireplaces on each end, and a newer pitched roof. Your jaw will be on the floor as you walk through the antique doors and are taken in by the stunning common area - which preserves the original flooring, wooden beams, and wainscoting that all have unparalleled craftsmanship. Small details throughout such as antique hardware, moldings, and fixtures reveal the home's history, personality and charm. What was once the "parlor" or "sewing" room is now a functional office or extra bedroom. The original home may not have even had a kitchen, but now there's an adorable one on the rear of the house that boasts double ovens, a built in gas stovetop, and custom shelving. Huge windows have been upgraded for maximum insulation and natural light. All the bedrooms feature airy, pitched ceilings, hardwood floors, and plenty of room for storage. The main home also includes a walk-down basement and screened in back porch that's perfect for kicking back with your coffee on a cozy morning. In need of some rental income? A gravel walkway leads to a detached private 1 bedroom residence "The Carriage House" that is updated, fully functional, and teeming with short or long-term income possibilities. This is a home that is so rich in history, features, and personality that you'll need a private tour to understand just how unique it is.

Rolling fields and old tobacco barns signal the congested city is behind you just 45 mins from Capitol Hill. Up the gravel drive, through arched trellis and boxwood corridors, discover the secret of Shabby Hall. Suitable for a founding father or family escaping the city , the pool and fireplaces create a four-seasons retreat. Mature, Mt. Vernon-esque landscaping, guest quarters galore. This is Colonial architecture at its finest. Enjoy the pool and badminton in the summer; foliage and roaring fire in the fall. Welcome to Shabby Hall.

RCD
Rural Community District
The Rural Community District RCD is intended to maintain a mix of farms, forests, and residential uses, retain historic and scenic areas, and protect watersheds, fish, and wildlife. These goals are to be achieved in part through the mandatory clustering of subdivisions on parcels 30 acres or greater in size, with a minimum of 60 percent of the subdivision to be permanently preserved as open space. It is the intent to maintain a low residential density within this district while still allowing for some use of Transferable Development Rights TDRs. To avoid drawing traffic onto rural roads commercial uses are limited.
