Perched atop a hillside in historic Sykesville reigns this Victorian beauty that my clients and I got to admire last weekend. Truly a home that reminds you to slow your pace and appreciate history, your surroundings, and the very moment. A full-sized wrap around porch, pocket doors, glass door knobs, claw foot tub, stained glass windows, wood floors, front and back staircases... much of the original details of this Queen Anne Revival era home have been preserved and its charm retained. The front porch is no doubt one of its most inviting features beckoning for your company to watch the world go by. Among the other noteworthy attributes are its attic, a spectacular unfinished space that allows your imagination to run wild, and the beautiful 1.7 acre property.
This Victorian beauty on Springfield Ave is one of about 85 properties that make up the Sykesville historic district dating back to the 1850s to early 1920s. Centered around 2 blocks on Main Street the district includes residential homes, charming storefronts, and a Queen Anne railroad station and has retained its characteristic small town feel.
This property is listed by Shari Hodges, ReMax 100 for $458,000.

♥ It's always been the vintage, the old house charm and the original details that I adore the most, that draw me in, make my [REALTOR®] heart flutter, and prompt me to pause, to listen, and then to retell their stories. I specialize in finding and marketing charming homes that are unique and rich in character, or history, or both. I believe in preservation, second chances, saving the pink bathrooms, and front porch living. In this series I highlight charming homes that I am listing to find just the right buyer for or I am admiring with my special clients; or that have simply caught my eye while exploring the [historic] communities of Maryland and [far] beyond. Adore charming homes as much as I do? Then I'd love it if you'd follow me on Instagram, @onceuponahaus is where I grow my curated collection. ♥
