Property Description
Historic St. Andrews Chapel - Galena, MD - circa 1874. Architecturally stunning one of a kind former Episcopal wayside chapel converted to fabulous residence. From the exterior you will notice the attention to detail that this home has received during massive updates and renovations over the last few years. Full exterior restoration of original board and batten siding, standing seam metal roof, and fully lined chimney, new high efficiency electric heat pump with central heat and AC. Extensive landscaping with recycled antique brick patio, flag stone walkways, attractive Trex deck for entertaining, native plant low maintenance landscaping and garden beds, and rear shed for storage with attached heated greenhouse featuring rain barrel for recycled water. Upon entering the home you will be surprised by the soaring original bead board ceilings and spacious open view through the home. While not for every living style, this home is the epitome of open concept living with a very flexible floorplan that you can make your own! The owner has made this home more about living a lifestyle versus just living in an ordinary tract house. Tons of spaces for entertaining small intimate groups or 25 family members at every holiday. The open galley style kitchen was designed with cooking in mind with an abundance of custom built solid wood cabinetry, center island with zinc and butcher block countertops , upgraded appliances and breakfast bar. Loads of updated energy efficient casement windows allow for a multitude of natural light. Original stained glass window featured along south facing passive solar greenhouse bump out just off the living room (original sanctuary). Cozy rear screened porch is a private retreat for morning coffee or evenings with friends. Home is sited far from the street providing ultra privacy for an in-town lot, and features a paved parking lot area near the street providing plenty of parking for you and your guests. First floor luxury designed bathroom with step down roman shower with skylight and jets. Second floor features 2 loft style bedrooms, one being the former choir loft, and cozy hang out or home office areas - the perfect zoom and hybrid working spot. The owner/agent is sad to let his "trophy property" go, but he must move on to his next restoration project down the street. Galena, Maryland is located approximately 15 miles from an abundance of shopping and entertainment amenities in nearby Middletown, Delaware, less than 3 miles from Route 301 for commuting, and 5 privately owned marinas in the Georgetown Harbor on the Sassafras River less than a mile away. This location is perfect for commuters and folks who want to settle down to find community and place, away from suburban settings. Come appreciate this one of kind lifestyle home.
