Once-in-a-Generation Estate

Frederick, Maryland | $2,250,000

A once-in-a-generation opportunity to own one of Frederick’s most historically and architecturally significant residences—gracefully positioned along iconic Baker Park with views of the covered bridge and Carroll Creek. Set on a rare .93-acre lot, the home blends historic craftsmanship with striking contemporary design. A deep front porch—worthy of long afternoons on a porch swing—welcomes guests into a grand foyer with freshly refinished hardwood floors. To one side, a gracious formal parlor, currently serving as a dining room, honors the home’s historic roots, while the stunning modern addition unfolds with dramatic 10-foot ceilings, stained concrete floors, radiant geothermal heating, and walls of floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the private backyard.

South Farm

Waite Hill, Ohio | $3,850,000

Set high above the Chagrin River Valley in the heart of Waite Hill, South Farm is one of Northeast Ohio’s most storied estates. Inspired by the great English country houses of the 18th century, the approximately 11,000-square-foot residence features nine bedrooms, six fireplaces, and gracious living spaces designed for both intimate family life and grand-scale entertaining. Inside, richly detailed interiors, soaring ceilings, and walls of windows create an atmosphere of timeless elegance while framing picturesque views of the surrounding landscape. Spanning more than 11 acres, the grounds are equally impressive. Formal gardens, stone terraces, and a beautifully landscaped pool create exceptional settings for entertaining and relaxation. An orchard, greenhouse, garden plots, and sweeping lawns evoke the charm of a classic country estate, while mature woodlands and walking trails offer peaceful connections to nature. Additional amenities include a guest house, working woodshop, historic teahouse with a fireplace, and restored stone pathways that reveal layers of thoughtful design more than a century after their creation.

Forgotten Rosenwald School

Cottontown, Tennessee | $315,000

Until now, only two Rosenwald Schools were believed to be still standing in Sumner County, Tennessee. This unique home was constructed as Oak Grove School, part of the Rosenwald Schools initiative, created by Sears president Julius Rosenwald and Booker T. Washington of the Tuskegee Institute. The Rosenwald Fund helped build over 5,000 schools across the South for African American students. This special building has been well-preserved and updated over the years, including the addition of a sunroom and covered porches. Inside, you’ll find a rustic cabin with hardwood floors, authentic cedar pillars, beadboard ceilings, and a working wood stove to supplement central heat. The upstairs, accessible via a pull-down stairs and external stairs, provides an additional 800+ sqft of finished space. A concrete cellar provides a storm shelter. Served by fiber optic Internet. The 1.6-acre lot includes several sheds and a 40’x29’ metal building with concrete floor, electricity, and a wood stove.
