Property Description

Maryland Historical Homes, of Monument Sotheby's International Realty, is delighted to present a very special Italianate home steeped in Maryland history. Bauernschmidt Manor sits on land once owned by Enoch Pratt, who named it "Planter's Paradise" due to the rich urban sassafras soil. The grass is bright green, and the soil supports stunning professional landscaping. The home was built by Robert C. Ullrich for renowned brewer and philanthropist Frederick Bauernschmidt and his wife, Agnes, in 1909, as a summer home. Mr. Bauernschmidt founded the American Brewery, which is now the headquarters for the very beautiful Humanim building. He sold the company in 1923, and many empty bottles of beer from the American Brewery, and from his father's company, the George Bauernschmidt brewing company, exist to this day, and are on display in the home. There are four incredible bedrooms and five full bathrooms, as well as sitting rooms, a ground level screened porch, a ground-level wraparound porch and a wrap-around veranda, a Juliet balcony overlooking the well-maintained saltwater pool, and a cupola with water views that are simply breathtaking. Enjoy the stunning landscaping while enjoying the breeze from the water. A community beach and boat access are available for use. This home combines the very best of wonderful historic detail while still being suited for modern living, and is looking for its next steward as it moves forward into its next chapter in history. Fun fact: the land was a popular duck hunting spot, and Presidents Harrison and Cleveland both hunted here. As a Baltimore County Historical Landmark, there are tax incentives available for owners of such properties. The home was used as a Bed and Breakfast at one time, as all bedrooms are ensuite, and that usage is still an option given all Maryland Bed and Breakfast permits and licenses are approved. The original "Bauernschmidt Bed and Breakfast" sign hangs in the home. Many upgrades have been completed over the years, as well as many in 2025; please see documents for a complete list; it is extensive and comprehensive. A list of furniture that conveys is available in the agent documents. Plans for a carriage house have already been drawn up for use. Don't miss this wonderful value with incredible Maryland history.
