**Please join us this weekend at "The Leiter House" on Sat, Nov 9 1-3pm and Sun, Nov 10 1-3pm. Come soak up the history, charm and character of this magnificent property!** Welcome to Leitersburg and to The Leiter House, a piece of Washington County history that was even featured in Architectural & Historic Treasures and has only grown in charm and character as it has passed from one family member to the next to its future owner (could that be you?). Prior to the American Revolution, Jacob Leiter, Sr. purchased more than 2,000 acres of land near the MD/PA state line, which passed to his sons, then to his grandsons (grandson Andrew purchased a tract and laid out present day Leitersburg) and, finally, a great-great grandson’s nephew, Joseph, built this renowned property, The Leiter House. An addition (the right side of the home) was constructed by Joseph’s grandson, Levi Leiter on or about 1900. In the decades later, the house, at one time, was split into apartments, had a second addition added to the rear and plenty of reconfiguring porches, some becoming bathrooms! The original spiral winder staircase was nearly removed, only to be repaired, thus keeping the exquisite artistry in place. More recently, a car enthusiast’s detached garage in the backyard was added including a repurposed structural beam from the former Pratt Street Power Plant (you may notice also the iron gates on the left side of the front of the house are also Power Plant relics). Most recently, the current owners have ventured room by room to lovingly update and remodel each space, where every detail tells a story. The wide plank heart pine flooring graces both levels, adding warmth and character throughout. In the formal dining room, a stunning chandelier from the historic Francis Scott Key Hotel in Frederick sets the stage for unforgettable gatherings. The living room, with its bonus sitting area, is perfect for relaxing or entertaining. The chef’s kitchen is a masterpiece, featuring stainless steel appliances and a unique countertop crafted from one of Frank Turner’s regional bowling alley lanes. At the rear of the home, you’ll find an entertainer’s space reminiscent of an English pub, ideal for cozy evenings with friends. Pop the popcorn and pull up some chairs to watch an old classic on the projector and movie screen. Upstairs, the expansive primary bedroom includes a tranquil sitting area, en suite bath, an exercise room, and access to a serene balcony overlooking the rear yard fit for a portrait. Two additional bedrooms share a Jack & Jill bath, with the option of a fourth bedroom or den. The walk-up attic provides abundant storage. Of course, step outside to the lush garden blooming with tulips, dogwood, magnolia, bleeding heart, and beebalm in the spring and summer. Completing this incredible property is a summer kitchen and a detached garage, making it truly one-of-a-kind home find. Come see this remarkable property, where you can have the best of all worlds!
