DESCRIPTION:

~It's All Here!~ Historic District, 10 Minutes To Everything Frederick! Quick On/ Off I-70/270, 1 Blk. So. Of South Street X from park-like MSD Campus.

1500 SF Artsy Home, a 1910 Renovated Open-Plan, Mission Shotgun style home, with off-street parking for one vehicle and on-street unmetered parking for others-in safe and QUIET south end of downtown Frederick, MD.

This is an easy 2 block walk in any direction to Carroll Creek, Micro-Brews, Distilleries, Historic Mt. Olivet Cemetery (grave of Barbara Fritchie, F Scott Key, and other famous Marylanders,)and it X street from Maryland School of the Deaf and the Revolutionary War Hessian Barracks. Take a 5-minute walk down S. Carroll St. to the newly opened Visitation Hotel.

THE SETTING: 3 SEASONS is a full urban vegetable and flower garden bringing you color, aromas and small wildlife and birdwatching.
All seasons, a lovely view and walk of the MSD campus across S. Carroll St. and the Revolutionary War Hessian Barracks. Carroll Creek, and Mt. Olivet Cemetery is only 2 blocks away. 2 excellent restaurants, Black Hog BBQ and El Porto Italian, 1 block away and a new bakery, electric bike rental and Arts Center also within a block walk.

Comfortable Outdoor Dining for 8 on the patio beside a Weber charcoal grill – an iron chiminea, lounge & private seating area hidden by tall pampas grasses under a willow tree. The private, 1000 sq. foot organic garden in back and side yard. (Some insects are to be expected. Mosquito lamps are in both areas and spray is under the powder room sink.)

S. Carroll St is not a main traffic "drag" like South Street or Market Street. The traffic activity and noise is a fraction of what it is a block west or north of the house. The walk is a few minutes longer to Carroll Creek, but a worthwhile price to pay for a good night’s sleep.

The house is warm and inviting with an eclectic, open-plan layout, renovated custom features an updated master bath with walk-in shower, a 1st floor purple powder room with nature art motif, color, and artful textures and collections.
