18123 SCHOOLHOUSE RD White Hall, MD 21161

You can almost envision the past owners of this early 1900's Victorian sitting on the front porch sipping tea and watching the trains pass by on the North Central Railroad from years long ago. Welcome to 18123 Schoolhouse Rd in White Hall which is just a block away from the Torrey C Brown trail (formally NCR Trail) which offers biking, hiking, horseback riding, and some of the best trout fishing along the Gunpowder River. This classic Victorian is currently set-up as a large single family home with 4 bedrooms and 4 full baths, but there are so many rooms it could easily be converted into a 6 bedroom home if need be. Airbnb, Bed & Breakfast? The home was built for the Black Family (of Black and Decker) as their Summer Home, so the finishes are what you would expect in a home built for an aristocrat Baltimore family at the turn of the century, grand entry with original staircase, stain glassed windows, two wood burning fireplaces with inlay mantles, wide trim and baseboards throughout, and original hardwood floors. The first floor offers a bedroom with attached bath, a living room with wood burning stove, formal dining room with pellet stove and chair rail, crown molding and french doors to the brick patio. There is an additional full bath on this level. There is also a first floor large office with views of the side yard. Also on this floor the current owners have a fully roughed in room for a new 1st floor kitchen. The 2nd floor offers a large family room with pellet stove and access to the side porch, laundry room, additional bath, 2nd bedroom, a large kitchen with updated stainless appliances and table space. The separate laundry room can be found on this level. The side porch off the family room is a great space to enjoy dinner with friends. The 3rd floor boasts a master bedroom that is cathedral like with soaring ceilings beams and stained glass that give the room a gothic feel. The master bedroom has a large sitting room that has storage space, but would also make a a huge walk-in closet or dressing area. There is a shared hall bath. The 4th bedroom upstairs also has a cathedral ceiling and boasts two closets and a reading loft with library ladder for access. Much of the original charm and character of this home has been preserved through the years with some modern amenities such as dual zoned gas furnace with central air conditioning, and blown in insulation to keep its occupants comfortable.
