Victorian

Discover timeless character and a rare offering in Walkersville at 29 Fulton Avenue. Built in 1900, this stately three-story brick Victorian has been lovingly restored over time, blending preserved architectural details with thoughtful modern updates for today’s lifestyle. The exterior walls, 3 bricks thick and crafted by Walkersville Brick & Tile Works stand as a testament to the lasting craftsmanship. Inside, more than 3,000 sq feet of finished living space is enhanced by soaring 10’+ ceilings, tall proportioned moldings, decorative crown details, heart pine hardwood floors, transom windows, and intricate ceiling medallions. Built-in display cabinetry, pocket doors, and even a decorative newel post cap that conceals a secret compartment remain beautifully intact. The grandeur of this home reveals itself the moment you enter, where original character immediately transports you to an era bygone. The dining room, perfect for large gatherings, features bay windows with plantation shutters, a wood-burning fireplace with an elaborate mantel, a tray ceiling with a ceiling medallion, and a statement chandelier. A true centerpiece of the home, the modernized kitchen boasts ten-foot pocket doors, a masonry wood-burning heater crafted from original bricks, soapstone counters, stainless steel appliances, and abundant maple cabinetry. The recent remodel provides beauty and functionality, offering plenty of space for cooking and entertaining. Access to the second staircase is shared between the kitchen and the family room. A bonus room off the kitchen has a 2nd wall oven and has been used as a butler's pantry room by the current owners. The family room centerpiece is the Barlett Hayward Latrobe stove, manufactured in Baltimore, Md, and modified for propane which adds warmth and a historical feel to the room. Other features are the surround sound access grates, secret storage areas, (2) ceiling medallions with ornate chandeliers, the second full bath with stained glass doors, and a claw-foot bathtub. The third staircase can be found in this room and is adorned with a custom iron handrail. A mud room with heated floors and floor-to-ceiling cabinetry serves as a second entry point to the home and flows into the family room. Cozy up with a book and watch the snow fall from the four-season room with floor-to-ceiling Eze-Breeze windows and a propane stove. Four bedrooms, a modern full bath, and laundry are all generously sized and full of natural light. The primary bedroom has a bay window with plantation shutters and direct access to the full bath. A rear bedroom has access to the third staircase, believed to be used by the house staff in the late 19th century. A walk-up attic with over 1,700 square feet of floored, fully insulated space provides endless possibilities for additional finished rooms. Outdoor living is equally inviting. A cozy side porch and a large covered front porch with intricate gingerbread trim provide the perfect backdrop for quiet mornings and unhurried evenings. A custom wrought iron border fence and handrail complements the home’s Victorian style, and is lined with fragrant red roses, creating a striking first impression. Gas lit front porch lamps frame the front entry and greet you with a warm, flickering light, while details like the original mail slot and intricate mechanical doorbell preserve the home’s historic charm. The roof is a combination of slate and asphalt and is equipped with half-round gutters and period lightning rods, while the large driveway leads to a darling carriage house adding function and character.
