212 Washington Ave, Chestertown, MD 21620

Description

This charming American Four Square has been meticulously maintained and is located 1 block from Washington College’s campus and near Chestertown’s Historic District’s shops and restaurants. All of the key features of this architectural style are evident - two and a half stories high, hipped slate roof with a distinctive dormer at the front of the house, spacious four-room plan and full front porch with mahogany flooring with a depth that makes it a wonderful outdoor room.
The American Four-Square was designed for narrow urban lots and this property’s bonus is its
deep lot that easily accommodated an addition of a kitchen-family room opening onto a deck and a deep rear fully fenced back yard that offers safe play for children and pets. Another bonus is a two-car garage.
From the foyer, the “U” shaped artisan stair rises to the third floor and the main floor’s living room, dining room, bathroom and library are seamlessly connected to maximize the rooms’ sizes. The rear addition of an open plan kitchen-family room has easy indoor-outdoor flow to the adjacent deck. The second floor contains 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths as well as the laundry. The third floor contains two additional bedrooms. Throughout the house, details of original wood floors, moldings and trim, corner guards and bespoke millwork evoke an earlier era of gracious living.
A uniquely American architectural style, with an addition and updates for today’s family lifestyle;
freshly painted exterior, meticulous mature landscaping, fenced rear yard that is a verdant
oasis, two-car garage - who could ask for anything more?
