Frederick Summer Home- History, Brew, Arts, Shop, w/OSP, Families & Friends Fun!

REMEMBER INSTANT BOOK IS THE BEST WAY TO SECURE YOUR RESERVATION!
~It's All Here!~ Historic District, 10 Minutes To Everything Frederick! Quick On/ Off I-70/270, 1 Blk. So. Of South Street X from park- like MSD Campus.

1500 SF Artsy Home, a 1910 Renovated Open-Plan,Mission Shotgun style home, with Off street parking for one vehicle and on-street unmetered parking for others-in safe and quiet south end of downtown Frederick MD.

This is an easy 2 block walk any direction to Carroll Creek, Micro-Brews, Distilleries, Historic Mt. Olivet Cemetery, grave of Barbara Fritchie, F Scott Key and other famous Marylanders, and it X street from Maryland School of the Deaf and the Revolutionary War Hessian Barracks. Take a 5 minute walk down the street to the newly opened historic Academy Visitation Hotel.

THE SETTING: 3 SEASONS is a full urban vegetable and flower garden bringing you color, aromas and small wildlife and birdwatching.
All seasons, a lovely view and walk of the MSD campus and Hessian Barracks X street, Carroll Creek, Mt. Olivet Cemetery 2 blocks away.
Comfortable Outdoor Dining for 8 on the patio beside grill – an iron chiminea, lounge & private seating area hidden by tall pampas grasses under a willow tree. The 1000 sq. foot organic garden in back and side yard. (Some insects are to be expected. Mosquito lamps are in both areas and spray is under the powder room sink.)
S. Carroll St is not a main traffic "drag" like South Street or Market Street. The traffic activity and noise is a fraction of what it is a block west or north of the house. The walk is 5 minutes longer to Carroll Creek, a worthwhile price to pay for a good night’s sleep.
The house is warm and inviting with an eclectic, open plan layout, renovated custom features an updated master bath with walk-in shower, a 1st floor purple powder room with nature art motif, color, and artful textures and collections.
Any real cook would be happy with the accouterment's in the kitchen. Surface Finishes from metal flake black laminate to warm 19th-century wood furniture, Danish modern furniture pieces and styling, bright oriental rugs, sheepskins, handmade Amish quilts, Buddha, Goddesses, Marilyn Monroe, books, and fine Art limited edition printmaking on the walls.

AND 4th " Bedroom" is a new Queen comfortable (tested) pop-up sofa bed with a soft bed topper in the living room. All sleeping areas and living room have black-out shades and drapery. Roku TVs are in bedrooms and living room has Xfinity, various streaming services and Roku.

Rent By the weekend or the week. Multiple-week & monthly stays require preapproval with ID. Additional cleaning fees /week will apply based on circumstances and pet fees. Pets are typically not encouraged but I will consider the situation and the dog. Small dogs with good manners- and a healthy bladder, no parasites or skin problems, please. NO PEE PAD-dependent animals). Please message me with a description and photo of the animal. The pet fee is per pet. There's an open-sided staircase to the 2nd floor and a knee wall on the 2nd so the falling risk is great... no toddlers or special needs guests, please. Children can run outside, not inside, please. There is a park with a ball field, a swing set, and jungle gym, and a dog workout, half a block away.
Basement Studio is NOT accessible by guests and is the Owner's private space not accessible by guests or 1st floor. It is isolated from the main house living space. The owner or cat sitter accesses the basement studio by a dedicated entrance from the backyard patio, NOT the shared interior of the house. The staircase is acoustically insulated as is the entire 1st floor of the home.

The urban backyard veggie garden and back patio are dedicated spaces for the owner's use. She does not mingle with guests or access guest quarters, unless invited.

NOTE: Short term rental platforms including VRBO considers any area with a bed a "bedroom". That is not something the listing host can control so read the details, please. "Bedroom" does not imply walls.

2nd Stay at this Home - Hopefully the 2nd of Many!
I have nothing but praise for this property. We loved it so much the first time when we dropped my son off to college, we returned to visit 2 months later. The house is incredibly comfortable & welcoming and the energy is soothing. It truly seems to my family like a home-away-from-home. It is super clean, I LOVE cheffing up in the kitchen, relaxing in the beautiful garden is the best (I can't wait to come back when it's cold enough to have a fire out there in the Chimnea!) It's full of all kinds of treasures as well....I love just wandering around admiring all of he beautiful ceramics, art, books...it's like a very cozy, comfy, nostalgic and quirky museum! Laurie is a fantastic host. Very communicative. All of the rental information is organized for guests upon arrival, so there are very few questions you will need to ask. Just open the door and your fantastic stay begins! Location is perfect. Downtown Frederick is a short walk away - it's a beautiful town, full of shops and great food, super people, very safe. Can't wait to go back!

Cute eclectic house in Fredrick
The house is very cute. Feels like home. It has everything you might need. The owner is very attentive. When we arrived, there was a chocolate and a bottle of wine for us. It’s located 5 minutes walk from the main street with a lot of restaurants. We enjoyed our stay in this cute house.

Absolutely Enchanting!
We were in Frederick dropping off my son for his first year of college, so I thought to offset the sadness we would make a little vacation out of it! This home was absolutely perfect. The energy is SO peaceful, amenities abound, magical garden, beds, pillows and sheets SOOOOO comfy. The home is filled with beautiful ceramics, fantastic art, beautiful little surprises everywhere. My daughter and I listened to records (Led Zeppelin, Sarah Vaughn, Carly Simon), learned how to make French Press coffee and tea (the coffee/tea situation is outrageous!!!!!), and perused the amazing library - so many fascinating books. Kitchen is perfect - new appliances, spices....everything you need and more! We love the town of Frederick and to be able to walk there was sensational.Our host was so communicative and always available to answer questions. My daughter (16y) summed it up perfectly....she says "One of the most creatively inspiring places" she has ever stayed! Can't wait to return!
