Nestled atop more than nine elevated acres in one of Monkton’s most coveted locations, this timeless mid-19th century farmhouse presents a truly rare opportunity to own a legacy property in the heart of North County. With sweeping views to the east, a secluded saltwater pool, and room to expand outdoor living spaces, this home seamlessly combines enduring character with thoughtful updates in a serene, storybook setting. Lovingly restored in the late 1990s and continually improved over the years, the home retains its historic soul while offering the comforts of modern living, replacement windows, standing-seam metal roofing, and a custom saltwater pool with bluestone patio and decking. A gracious front porch welcomes you inside, where the original center hall and staircase lead to sunlit formal living and dining rooms. A discreet powder room is tucked beneath the stairs, adding a functional touch to this classic layout. The north wing of the home embraces casual living with a country-style kitchen, cozy dining nook, dedicated laundry area, and a charming office nook. A warm and inviting family room addition with skylights, wood-burning stove, new carpet and freshly painted walls opens up to stunning views of rolling countryside and the pool beyond, perfect for everyday relaxation or weekend entertaining. Upstairs, choose from three distinct staircases, each marking a chapter in the home’s rich history. The upper level features a serene primary suite complete with a private bath and a cozy loft retreat reached by its own winder stairs. A lovely hall library bathed in natural light invites quiet moments and reflection. Three additional bedrooms, a shared full bath, and a loft-style fifth bedroom complete the second floor, offering flexible space for guests, family, or creative pursuits. The property itself, with its new split rail fencing, is equally captivating. Majestic shade trees dot the expansive lawn, bluestone patio, while a stone smokehouse and a framed shop building off the back porch offer charming utility or potential for future conversion. This exceptional property has been thoughtfully and extensively updated with a new architectural shingle roof, a lightning protection system, fully inspected and repointed chimneys, a new patio, and a resurfaced and retiled saltwater pool. Additional enhancements include a new water softener and treatment system, electrical service extended to the carriage house, smokehouse, and pool house, and the installation of a hot tub on a brand-new pad. Over 100 new trees have been planted, and comfort upgrades feature five mini-split systems, new AC and heat pumps, and full-house insulation. The kitchen has been refreshed with a new refrigerator, microwave, and stove (2023), alongside a new washer and dryer (2023) and water heater (2023). A new circular driveway adds both convenience and curb appeal, rounding out the impressive list of improvements made to this remarkable home. Beyond, the additional acreage includes remnants of a barn foundation and an old spring house, ideal for creating pastureland, gardens, or even a guest cottage. Located minutes from the Gunpowder River and the NCR Hike & Bike Trail, this home is perfectly positioned to enjoy the best of the North County lifestyle. Explore nearby breweries, wineries, shops, and restaurants, or make a quick trip to Hunt Valley for additional conveniences. Commuting is simple via I-83, and the property lies within the highly rated Hereford Zone school district. Whether you're searching for a private retreat, a historic homestead, or a once-in-a-lifetime place to write your own chapter. **Please note Lot lines are incorrect in zillow.
