Built around 1770 and rich in history, this home has been carefully renovated to honor its architectural legacy while seamlessly incorporating sophisticated modern enhancements.
Original heart pine plank floors and period moldings remain intact, complementing European-inspired upgrades throughout. The home offers five bedrooms, three and one-half baths, and three fireplaces across approximately 3800 square feet of finished living space.
A gracious entry foyer opens to the formal dining room with custom built-in shelves. Also on the main level, the chef's kitchen is open to an inviting living room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and French doors that lead to a picturesque slate patio. Beyond, a terraced, walled garden creates a private outdoor retreat featuring a gas firepit, hot tub, and dedicated entertaining spaces ideal for year-round enjoyment.
The second level features a spacious family room complete with a fireplace and a private deck overlooking the garden below, as well as a primary suite with en-suite bath and two walk-in closets. The second level includes three generously sized bedrooms and full bath #2. The top floor has been thoughtfully finished as an expansive play room, private office, or optional bedroom #5, offering charming views of Old Town rooftops and glimpses of the Potomac River.
The moody lower level includes a cozy recreation room with bar and wine wall, sitting area, spa-like bath with soaking tub, and laundry room —perfect for hosting or relaxing. Located just one block from King Street, Captain’s Row is one of only two historic cobblestone streets in Old Town, offering an unmatched blend of charm, prestige, and walkable convenience. Convenient off-street garage parking for one car is currently rented.
