Property Description

This one-of-a-kind property combines historical significance, architectural beauty, and natural surroundings—offering a rare chance to steward a landmark while enjoying the tranquility of Maryland’s countryside. Step into a piece of history with this remarkable 1862 home, proudly listed on the Historic Registry and located along the Star-Spangled Banner Scenic Byway. This beautifully preserved side-gabled frame house features a classic side-hall and double-parlor plan with elegant Greek Revival interior details including fret work, dentil molding, and natural stone door knobs. Inside, you’ll find soaring 10’ ceilings on the main floor, a gorgeous center hall, and gracious dining and living rooms perfect for entertaining. Historic character abounds with four fireplaces throughout the home, adding warmth and timeless charm to the living spaces. The stunning staircase is a true centerpiece — open through the center, allowing you to see all the way to the upper floors. The charming kitchen, thoughtfully renovated in 2019, blends modern convenience with classic style. Upstairs, the second floor offers two spacious bedrooms, a full bath, and a versatile small bedroom or office space. The top level provides a private retreat with one large room and an additional full bath — ideal as a guest suite, studio, or quiet hideaway. Enjoy the expansive back porch stretching the entire length of the home, offering peaceful views of the historic grounds. Equestrian enthusiasts will love the property’s historic outbuildings, including a tractor shed with separate stalls, a mule barn, and plenty of space for pasture or riding. Additional structures include a chicken coop (in need of restoration), smokehouse, and corn crib — each echoing the rich heritage of this unique property. A true highlight is the original Coffren Store & Post Office, a two-story frame building with a distinctive saltbox profile. The interior remains virtually intact, featuring original shelves, counters, cash drawers, bins, and the post office window and boxes. This rare building is a unique surviving example in Prince George’s County of a rural post office and store, serving as an important element in the historic village of Croom. Just minutes away, explore the 7,400-acre Patuxent River Park, offering miles of scenic trails along the Patuxent River, perfect for horseback riding, hiking, and enjoying nature. A rare opportunity to own a living piece of Maryland’s history with unmatched potential for a private horse farm or serene country retreat. Recent updates include a new metal roof (2018), new HVAC system (2019), and a new septic system (2004). The home features electric heat pump splits for zoned temperature control— with four units on the main floor, three on the second floor, and one on the top floor — providing excellent efficiency and customizable comfort. A pellet stove offers affordable, cozy heat throughout the winter months. Located a few minutes from The Patuxent River Park and Merkle Wildlife Sanctuary totaling 9400 acres of open space along the river and offering kayak rental, boat launch, miles of hiking/riding trails, nature center with children's programs, and a Rural Life Museum. Ideal for commuting: 40 minutes to Washington, DC; 35 minutes to the Pentagon; 22 minutes to Andrews Air Force Base; and 44 minutes to Fort Meade, .
