Dickerson, MDMontgomery County

Step into another era as you walk up the steps of this turn of the century manor home on 5 acres in the sought after area of Upper Montgomery County. Upon entering the home, a grand foyer with fireplace sets the stage for a unique experience. Just a few of the specialties of this home are 11+ foot ceilings on the first level and 10+ foot ceilings on the second level, hardwood floors, spacious rooms, embassy sized dining room, and a claw foot soaking tub in the master bathroom.

Outside exterior the experience continues with a sweeping front porch with Corinthian pillars, a Maryland-style back porch leading to a stone patio and an upper level back sleeping porch. A formal garden surrounded by a picket fence leads to the matching carriage house.

The deep front property is graced with over 20 mature White Oak trees and overlooks hundreds of acres of farmland. A winding semicircular driveway is marked at both ends with 19th century street lamps that originally lit Washington, D.C.'s Georgetown trolley line. The rear of the property is a football field sized grass lot framed by a forest known as "Big Woods"

The property is ideally located close to a MARC Train station, schools, and shopping.
