Property description
Welcome to this historic early Victorian mansion located in the heart of downtown Frederick and constructed in 1861 by Dr. George Johnson.

This property has been lovingly updated/maintained and is move in ready leaving nothing to do but experience & enjoy the downtown lifestyle of living in the heart of some of the best dining and shopping Frederick has to offer. This exquisite home is the perfect mix of historic charm and modern luxury, this tall three-story brick detached mansion is approximately three bays square with rear galleries and a lower, three story brick L shaped wing, five bays long and two bays wide with side balconies and a two-story brick extension, two bays long and one bay wide with and added third story frame section. Featuring 5,624 sq. ft. of living space, with 6 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, 4 fireplaces, 2 living rooms, and a very detached garage that presently can accommodate 4 cars but could be reconfigured to accommodate 10-12 cars after deconstruction of a one of kind fallout shelter. Showcasing historic features throughout, the entrance is approached by a white 1800’s Italian marble front porch and sidewalls carved with cyma-curved scrolls and acanthus leaves. As you enter through the attractive large double doors containing bands of carved roping and thru the wide vestibule with a three-part doorway of the same Victorian designs, you will find rich moldings topping the walls, a large scrolled, three-dimensional molding holding the hallway chandelier and a stunning curved stairway with a large newel post leading to the upper floors. The huge living room (featuring an original Virginia McLaughlin mural) and dining room with magnificent hardwood floors will lead you to a cook’s dream in the completely remodeled gourmet kitchen featuring a Viking 6 burner stove, sub-zero refrigerator, and Corian counters. The unfinished basement is large and recently paved and features 1,656 sq. ft. of storage space. The private fenced rear lot features a fishpond, patio, and brick walkway leading to the oversized detached garage and is the perfect spot for outdoor entertaining. This home boasts so many unusual & unique characteristics, it is truly a must see! Take a look at the Matterport 3D virtual tour giving you unfettered virtual access throughout this stunning home.
