PRICE REDUCED. This remarkable 1862 home offers modern updates and timeless architecture. The kitchen, thoughtfully renovated in 2019, blends modern convenience with classic style. Inside, you’ll find soaring 10’ ceilings on the main floor, a gorgeous center hall, and gracious dining and living rooms. Historic character abounds with four fireplaces and original wide plank natural wood floors, adding warmth and charm to the living spaces. The stunning staircase is a true centerpiece—open through the center and visible all the way to the top floor.
Upstairs, the second floor features two spacious bedrooms each with its own fireplace, a full bath, and a versatile small bedroom or office space. The top level provides a private retreat with one large room and an additional full bath—ideal as a guest suite, studio, or quiet hideaway. Enjoy the expansive back porch that spans the entire length of the home, overlooking peaceful grounds.
Recent updates include a new metal roof (2019), new 200-amp electric panel, HVAC system, new well pump & Culligan water treatment system (2023), pest-resistant insulation (2017), and new septic system (2004). The home also has electric heat pump splits for zoned temperature control (four units on the main floor, three on the second, and one on the top), plus a pellet stove for cozy, affordable winter heat.
This one-of-a-kind property also carries deep historical significance. Proudly listed on the Historic Registry and situated along the Star-Spangled Banner Scenic Byway, the side-gabled frame house reflects elegant Greek Revival style with fretwork, dentil molding, and natural stone door knobs. A true highlight is the original Coffren Store & Post Office—a two-story frame building with saltbox profile and intact interiors including original shelves, counters, cash drawers, and post office boxes. This rare survivor is an important piece of Prince George’s County’s rural history.
Equestrian enthusiasts will appreciate the property’s historic outbuildings, including a tractor shed with separate stalls, a mule barn, pasture space, a chicken coop (in need of restoration), smokehouse, corn crib, deluxe 3-seater outhouse, and additional barns.
The property is ideally located near 7,400 acres of Patuxent River Park, offering miles of scenic trails for horseback riding, hiking, and kayaking. It’s also convenient for commuting: 40 minutes to Washington, DC; 35 minutes to the Pentagon; 22 minutes to Andrews Air Force Base; and 44 minutes to Fort Meade.
