Few homes offer the opportunity to own a piece of local history. Originally constructed circa 1840 as the Petersville Meeting House and recognized by the Frederick County historical society as House No. 401, this remarkable stone cottage has been lovingly preserved while thoughtfully updated for modern living. Nestled among the rolling farmland and peaceful countryside of western Frederick County, this unique property offers a rare blend of history, charm, and convenience, located just minutes from the Jefferson MARC train station. Included in the sale are two lots totaling approximately 0.51 acres, creating a picturesque setting that feels worlds away while remaining accessible to commuter routes and everyday amenities. Serviced by a 3-bedroom septic system, the home offers three official bedrooms along with an additional room and full bath on the main level, providing flexible space for a home office, den, library, guest space, or other uses to suit your needs. Designed long before modern builders mastered efficient use of space, this home showcases thoughtful craftsmanship throughout, with abundant storage, charming architectural details, and even walk-in closets. The home's historic character remains beautifully intact. Recognized by the local historical society, exterior improvements have been thoughtfully completed with historical approval to preserve the property's significance and architectural integrity. The original windows have been carefully maintained and enhanced with storm windows and additional interior protection, offering improved comfort while honoring the home's historic design. Pride of ownership is evident in every corner of this property. Both the metal roof and HVAC system are only two years old, providing modern efficiency and peace of mind. The home also features 200-amp electric service, well and septic systems replaced by Frederick County in 2013 with records available, and a water treatment system complete with filtration and UV purification. Outside, beautifully landscaped grounds complement the timeless appeal of the home. A peaceful side porch, currently the owners' preferred entrance, provides the perfect place to enjoy a morning cup of coffee, relax with a good book, or simply take in the quiet beauty of the surrounding farmland. The detached block garage offers exceptional storage, workshop, hobby, or equipment space. While the current garage door opening does accommodate vehicle entry, it is not with standard Garage doors, the structure provides substantial usable square footage and versatility. Even the basement reflects the exceptional care this home has received throughout the years. Clean, dry, and meticulously maintained, it features a professionally installed French drain system, sump pump, and neatly organized mechanical systems. Properties of this caliber and historical significance seldom become available. From its fascinating origins and enduring stone construction to its thoughtful updates and remarkable condition, this is a home that must be experienced in person to fully appreciate. Every room tells a story, and every detail reflects generations of stewardship, preservation, and pride.
