605 Steinbeck Ave, Gaithersburg

This home truly is ‘one of a kind’! Built in 1870, this is the original Crown Manor House with a breezy front porch, towering ten foot ceilings, and original windows that bathe the interior with natural light throughout. But when you step inside, you’re welcomed by a thoroughly modern interior that was completely renovated in 2021 down to the studs with new electrical, plumbing, flooring, kitchen and baths. It’s historic, but it’s also completely new! The homeowner will enjoy living in one of the most vibrant, modern communities in the DC metro area, but also have the largest residential lot in the neighborhood. With 0.38 acres adjacent to green space maintained by the City of Gaithersburg, the property enjoys an expansive sense of space. The home includes a new two-car garage, a separate storage shed (the home’s original ‘ice house’), and a historic ‘log house’ that’s 15’ X 18’ with a main level and a loft. The log house is perfect space for a professional private practice, an art studio, the ultimate gym, a tiny home/accessory dwelling unit, and more – so many possibilities! This is a historic property in the City of Gaithersburg, and although it's in Crown, it’s not in the Crown HOA so no HOA rules! Even better, this property is zoned as ‘mixed use’, so it also has potential commercial usage. Absolutely, positively one of a kind!
