About This Home
Nestled in the heart of Frederick’s historic district, this bright and charming all-brick end-unit home blends modern comfort with timeless character. Once the model home for “The Benjamin” floor plan in Maxwell Square, it offers over 3,200 square feet of finished living space across four levels, with 9-foot ceilings and thoughtful bump-outs that fill every room with natural light.
The inviting front porch sets the tone for morning coffee before heading out to explore all that Downtown Frederick has to offer. Just a five-minute walk brings you to coffee shops, yoga studios, a French bistro, breweries, and a wide variety of local restaurants. Scenic Baker Park—with its trails, community pool, and open green space—is also just a short stroll or bike ride away.
Inside, the open main level showcases beautiful hardwood floors, granite countertops, and a kitchen designed for cooking and gathering—complete with a gas range, wood cabinetry, and space for casual dining. The separate dining room offers flexibility for formal meals or could easily serve as a piano room or home office. A spacious family room anchors the main level, filled with natural light from the home’s many windows.
Upstairs, the primary suite features a covered balcony, a huge walk-in closet, and a private bath, while the second bedroom also enjoys its own full bathroom. The loft level adds another bedroom, full bath, and a flexible space ideal for an office, playroom, gym, or media area. The finished lower level expands your options even further, with a generous recreation room, a fourth bedroom, and a convenient half bath.
Step outside to your private fenced backyard, complete with a hardscaped patio and just the right amount of space for grilling and outdoor dining. Two off-street parking spaces add everyday convenience.
For added peace of mind, this home includes a 1-year home warranty. The condo association covers roof replacement, water, sewer, trash, and snow removal, offering a truly low-maintenance lifestyle in the heart of the city.
