Remarkable historic home! Formerly the Whitaker School (1845-1931), this home is truly one of a kind and features gorgeous architecture and an abundance of space! Upon arrival, you'll notice the beautiful stone foundation and elegant entryway. The foyer is pristine, bright and showcases what is believed to be an original chalk board from the Whitaker School. Choose from either door that leads to a stunning open-concept first-floor living area complete with beautiful hardwood flooring, huge kitchen and ample room for dining, gathering, and even a spot for an office or play-space! The first floor can be used as-is or perhaps sectioned off further if desired. A full bathroom with tub/shower combo and the laundry room just off the side-door round out the main level. The second floor is metered separately from the first floor and features it's own kitchen, living room, and even has space for a dining room table! Additionally, the upstairs has two bedrooms, a bonus room, and a massive full bathroom. The basement and crawlspace make for great storage locations. Outside, the . 67-acre property includes a fenced yard with a swinging gate across the massive driveway - you won't have to worry about shuffling cars with as many vehicles as it can accommodate! Upgrades include basement and crawlspace waterproofing/encapsulation (2021), new well pump (2022), new windows downstairs (2022), first floor mini-split (2023), and new 10x16 shed (2023)!

Unique and historic home in close proximity to Furnace Bay Golf Course and just a short drive to the Perryville MARC Train Station, Hollywood Casino, the future Great Wolf Lodge and numerous local and international businesses. The MARC train provides convenient commuting to the greater Baltimore and Washington DC areas. Once the Whitaker School (1845 -1931), this home consists of two complete living areas (main floor and second floor) which can be used together or separately. Each has its own electric service and meter. Many upgrades have been made throughout the years including vinyl clad insulated double pane windows and new insulated exterior and storm doors. Don't let the number of bedrooms discourage you from being interested. The downstairs living area consists of a large foyer that leads to an open concept living area consisting of a kitchen, dining area, living area, and sleeping quarters. There is also a full bath and separate laundry room. The large downstairs can be used as is, or could be re-designed to have separate rooms such as a first floor bedroom, dining room and/or living area. The flooring is original hardwood that can be left as-is or refinished to suit a new owner's taste. A side entrance leads to a second door opening to the downstairs and a stairway that leads to the second floor. The second floor is a modern separate living area that consists of an open layout with kitchen, and dining area with vinyl flooring and a living room with wall-to-wall carpet. The space is completed by two carpeted bedrooms and a full bath. Under the front of the house is a partial basement which houses the water heater as well as a water treatment system and provides storage for bicycles or other outdoor equipment. The walls of the crawl space are well maintained original stone, and the partial basement walls are block.
