About this home
Welcome to 8556 Old Frederick Road in Old Ellicott City!
Built in 1900, this remarkable home blends original period craftsmanship with thoughtful modern updates and carefully curated décor that enhances its historic charm.
Step through the original 1900 front door into the inviting living area, where the stunning millwork of the staircase and original hardwood floors—crafted from a now-extinct 126-year-old Georgia Heartwood pine—immediately capture your attention. The secondary living space showcases beautiful wainscoting, original trim work, and beautifully preserved wood flooring that reflects the home's rich history and character.
A truly unique statement piece awaits: a late 19th-century prison wall safe from Pennsylvania, complete with two hand-cut keys. Once used to house the levers that opened multiple cell doors, this fully riveted safe—with no visible exterior screws—serves as a fascinating and rare historical feature that once opened provides convenient storage.
Throughout the home, fully restored plaster walls, original trim, and detailed wainscoting highlight the exceptional craftsmanship and preservation.
The updated Art Deco–inspired kitchen perfectly balances old and new, featuring a Thermador gas range, open shelving, custom cabinetry, and a striking copper farmhouse sink that serves as the centerpiece of the space.
Just off the kitchen, the laundry area and main bathroom lead to the rear deck and an impressive 18x18 Pennsylvania bluestone patio—ideal for relaxing after a long day or entertaining guests.
Upstairs, you’ll find two generously sized bedrooms with original trim and 9-foot ceilings, along with a show-stopping primary bathroom featuring heated floors, period sconces, a large walk-in shower with bench and multi-head system, and a stunning 6-foot stainless steel 100-gallon soaking tub—the perfect place to unwind.
As you move through the home, you’ll be wowed by the abundance of original lighting fixtures, floor registers, antique doorknobs, antique doorbell, and high-end finishes that make it nearly impossible to choose a single standout feature.
Located in the heart of Old Ellicott City, this home offers walkable access to shops, restaurants, and everything the historic district has to offer, while also providing convenient access to major commuter routes, parks, and nearby shopping....
