A rare opportunity to own a remarkable piece of Walkersville history owned by the same family for 30 years! Built in 1897, this beautifully preserved three-story Victorian offers more than 3,000 finished square feet on a generous 0.51-acre lot, blending irreplaceable period craftsmanship with thoughtful modern updates. Constructed with substantial three-brick-thick exterior walls using brick produced by the historic Walkersville Brick & Tile Works, the home is filled with architectural details that simply cannot be replicated today. From the moment you enter, soaring ceilings, heart pine floors, tall moldings, decorative crown trim, transom windows, ceiling medallions, pocket doors, built-ins, exposed brick, and stained glass showcase the character found throughout. The elegant dining room is especially impressive with bay windows, plantation shutters, a tray ceiling, statement chandelier, and wood/gas fireplace. Ten-foot pocket doors open to a warm and inviting kitchen featuring soapstone countertops, stainless steel appliances, abundant maple cabinetry, and an extraordinary custom wood-burning masonry heater constructed from original bricks discovered during the home's 2013 renovation. An adjoining bonus space with a second wall oven is ideal as a butler's pantry or additional prep area. The family room offers another comfortable gathering space accented by a historic Bartlett Hayward Latrobe stove, clever hidden storage, and discreet media-component storage. A heated-floor mudroom adds everyday functionality, while the four-season room, surrounded by floor-to-ceiling Eze-Breeze windows, provides a wonderful setting for morning coffee, reading, entertaining, or simply enjoying the changing seasons. Upstairs, four generously sized bedrooms are complemented by a beautifully updated full bath and dedicated laundry area. The primary bedroom features a lovely bay window with plantation shutters and direct bath access. A rear bedroom connects to the home's third staircase, believed to have once served household staff, adding yet another fascinating connection to the property's past. An expansive bonus room with exposed brick and built-in cabinetry offers excellent flexibility for a home office, studio, library, or hobby space. The walk-up attic provides more than 1,700 square feet of floored, spray-foam-insulated space and tremendous potential for future expansion. Outside, the home's wide front porch makes an unforgettable first impression with intricate gingerbread trim, distinctive Frederick-style handrails, gas-lit porch lamps, a custom wrought-iron fence, original mail slot, and mechanical doorbell. The property also features a spacious driveway, charming carriage house/potting shed, fenced courtyard, hot tub, mature landscaping, and plenty of open yard space. Exterior trim and the carriage house were freshly painted in 2023. Additional highlights include slate and asphalt roofing, period lightning rods, classic half-round gutters, city water, and a whole-house water filtration system. Even the smallest details tell a story, from the claw-foot tub and ornate chandeliers to the custom iron handrail and newel post cap concealing a hidden compartment. Ideally situated in the heart of Walkersville, this special property offers the convenience of a walkable lifestyle with schools, parks, churches, restaurants, the library, and local shops nearby. Rich in history, character, craftsmanship, and space, 29 Fulton Avenue is far more than a home, it is a one-of-a-kind property ready for its next chapter.
