2316 Bauernschmidt Dr

Essex, MD 21221

This home is a unique opportunity to purchase a Maryland historic home! 2316 Bauernschmidt Dr in Essex, MD is fondly referred to as "The Manor" for those that know of it. It is a beautiful property with the main and upstairs levels clocking in at 4,656 square feet. It sits on 0.75 acres, complete with a newly lined in-ground pool, which was recently converted to salt water. The home was owned by the Bauernschmidt family, who began construction on the home in 1905. The family is well known for their brewery and millions of dollars in contributions to hospitals, the Maryland School for the Blind, the Maryland School for the Deaf, and several facilities for families unable to make medical payments. The Manors restorations have continued throughout the years and it even became a bed and breakfast for a few years in the 1990s (the sign still hangs in the stairwell to this day). In 1991, the Bauernschmidt Manor became a Maryland Historical Landmark with the plaque hanging in the foyer. This astonishing home is a piece of Maryland history and you could be part of it!There are four bedrooms, five bathrooms and from the cupola, one can enjoy the relaxing views of Middle River and the bay. The home has been carefully renovated to stay with the style and architecture of the time. Recently, the owners have completely updated the one bathroom to include resurfacing the original claw foot tub. The sellers love this home but have decided to downsize and prioritize their health and retirement.

A/C on second floor to be placed shortly by sellers.Sellers will be taking the shed on the property (which actually sits on the second lot) as well as some of the exotic plants around the pool.
