ATTENTION HISTORIC HOUSE HUNTERS LOOKING FOR MOVE-IN READY! Perched on a ridge in Old Ellicott City, the historic "Robinson House," featuring vernacular architecture, is an "important dated example of the taste of...artisans right after the Civil War," according to the Maryland Historical Trust. Although tax records state that house as being built in 1900, the Maryland Historical Trust has traced the construction of this Folk Victorian to 1870 - noting that it is probably one of the first homes in Ellicott City to be built with central heating. The ornate radiators in home are considered to be original, as are the stringer stairs with split second story landing, the turned Greek Revival newel post, POCKET DOORS (who doesn't love pocket doors) and possibly the jig-sawn gingerbread bargeboards with the drop pendants on the eaves. The house is 2 1/2 stories above street grade, 3 bays wide; the rear of the house features a walk-out at grade basement. Front porch has a standing seam metal roof, front door with transom and sidelights. Numerous stone retaining walls are part of the architecture of the home, as well as a featured part of the outdoor living space. Completely renovated in 2015 with upscale materials and classic design: a chief's kitchen with custom cabinets, some glass fronted, soft close drawers, granite counters, cup rail, plenty of pantry space, stainless steel appliances, gas range, and farm house sink, stylish bathrooms with classic tiling and 42" high vanities. Alarm system and sprinkler system. Home features 9' ceilings, 4-5 bedrooms, 2 full baths (one on main level, one on the second level), two front parlors (one of which qualifies as a main level bedroom), formal dining room and bright sunroom overlooking park-like setting with plenty of natural deer, fox and other wildlife. Original radiators still function, as they were NOT designed for "planned obsolescence" as are modern systems! Home does also feature central air conditioning. Easy stroll to all of old town Ellicott City's fabulous restaurants and cafes, shops and boutiques, art galleries and pocket parks - plus free rides on the Old Ellicott City Trolley! Founded as a mill town in the late 1700s, Ellicott City became the first terminus of the B&O Railroad in 1830, so don't forget to visit the B & O Railroad Museum: "Ellicott City Station" - the oldest surviving railroad station in America! Convenient to all major commuter routes (I-70, I-695, I-95, Routes 29 & 32), downtown Baltimore, BWI and straight shot to Columbia, Annapolis or Washington DC.
