Property Description
Come live among history in this remarkable pre-Civil War era home, originally built circa 1787, beautifully constructed with brick and log elements and located on West Potomac Street in the heart of Williamsport, Maryland. Just a short stroll away is the rich history and scenic beauty of Cushwa Basin and the C&O Canal, offering a timeless connection to one of Washington County's most storied areas. This historic home retains many original architectural features that speak to the craftsmanship of its era, including leaded glass windows, wide-plank wood flooring, original handrails, wall coverings, and numerous period details throughout. The main level features 10-foot ceilings, while the upper level offers 9-foot ceilings, creating a spacious and elegant feel rarely found in homes of this age. Adding to its character are three fireplaces, two enclosed porches, and a charming backyard with off-street parking and rear alley access, blending historic charm with everyday convenience. While the home has undergone several renovations over the years, additional restoration opportunities remain, allowing the next owner to thoughtfully enhance and preserve its historic integrity. With the right vision, this property offers the potential to become a truly exceptional historic residence or possibly a future bed-and-breakfast, subject to city approval. Offering four bedrooms and two full baths, this is a rare opportunity for a historic-home enthusiast or investor to own a meaningful piece of Williamsport's past while enjoying the lifestyle, walkability, and nearby attractions that make this area so desirable.
