Welcome to 14106 Howard Road, a rare opportunity to own a beautifully updated farmhouse rich in Dayton history, set on a beautiful three-acre lot. Situated on a road named for the original 240-acre farm assembled between 1859 and 1877 by George A. Howard, grandson of Maryland’s 5th governor, John Eager Howard, this early 20th-century home blends timeless character with thoughtful modern improvements. From the moment you arrive, the circular driveway, lush landscaping, and inviting front porch with classic swing set the tone for this special property. Inside, a gracious foyer welcomes you with original hardwood floors and a striking staircase. The cozy family room features a wood-burning fireplace, custom built-ins, and detailed crown moldings, while the spacious dining room offers a second fireplace with an electric insert, perfect for gatherings. The rear of the home showcases a stunning, fully updated kitchen featuring granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a custom backsplash, new cabinetry, a pantry, and a charming window seat overlooking the backyard. A secondary staircase provides convenient access to the upper level. The main floor also includes a laundry room (with sink), butler’s pantry, a spacious mudroom, powder room, and additional storage. Upstairs, the primary suite features a private bath with a newly added shower seat. Three additional bedrooms offer generous closets and built-ins, complemented by an updated hall bath. The finished attic, complete with library shelving, provides a flexible bonus space ideal for a playroom, office, or additional bedroom. Original details such as heartwood flooring, bullseye molding, a distinctive newel post, and a solid oak banister preserve the home’s authentic charm. Outside, the picturesque grounds include a pond, mature specimen trees (including tulip magnolia, holly, and oak), and a large open field once used as a pasture or riding ring. Multiple outbuildings enhance the property, including a two-car garage with attached pony stable, a tool shed, chicken coop, and an impressive detached guest space. This space features a family room with fireplace, bedroom, kitchenette, full bath, loft, and a covered lanai spanning the back, ideal for entertaining or multi-generational living. Recent updates include fresh paint, newer roofs, new windows, and owned solar panels for added efficiency. A property with historical significance, without historic designation restrictions, this is a truly unique offering that combines heritage, charm, and modern comfort.
