Property Description
This fine, brick dwelling originating from the18th c. is situated in Hillsboro on Maryland's peaceful Eastern Shore. Hillsboro, nestled along the Tuckahoe River, conveniently located to all that is important to the Eastern Shore's sought-after lifestyle. Public landing with dock and kayak lauch is just a block away.
The WILLIAM SMITH HOUSE, built in 1794, exemplifies the world of a successful Grain Merchant living in an important hub for grain and tobacco. The house has been altered slightly through the many decades, but the character of the original building dominates the architecture and "feel" of its 1794 era. Its charm and elegance remain. The rooms are commodious and inviting. The grand center ENTRANCE HALL is punctuated by the graceful stair, fine woodwork and doors. The LIVING ROOM, as expected, is spacious and comfortable with fireplace (now gas fired), original floors, and bookshelves. The DINING ROOM, of a grand size, features a fireplace (now gas), cabinetry and glass front cupboards. Two steps down from the dining Room the fully equipped KITCHEN is found with wood floor, exposed rafters and back stairway. Open from the kitchen is the GATHERING ROOM with wood floor and wide views of the grounds and gardens. A paver path from this room leads to the driveway and parking. An open DECK offers a secluded retreat off the kitchen wing
BEDROOMS and BATHS are found on second floor. Two of which have fireplaces although decorative at this time. Access to the bedroom level is either from the main grand stairway or via the back stairs. Adding to the charm is the back stair hall in the primary bedroom wing located over the kitchen and "gathering" room. The baths are delightful.
A surprise outbuilding is to the rear of the grounds. A perfect spot for an office, studio or storage. Another smaller outbuilding offers more storage. The grounds feature tall mature trees and fencing. The William Smith House is all one would expect built in a gracious era with a colorful history.
