188 Plum Creek Rd, North East, MD 21901

The spectacular complex at 188 Plum Creek Rd comprises a 4000 sq ft main residence, an 1800 sq ft in-law suite and 2000 sq ft of commercial metal fabrication workshops. Every inch of this amazing home features old world craftsmanship and touches of elegance rarely seen in today’s construction. To top that off, 4 acres of the 5.9 acre parcel have the potential to be subdivided for development as one acre lots. As you approach the property you’ll see the first of the over forty sections of wrought iron and stone pillar fencing which lines nearly the entire Plum Creek frontage of 460 ft and continues around the west side of the property. Beyond the switch-controlled gates and find the view of the Italian piazza style courtyard with a multi-level fountain. The cobble stone work, the manicured landscaping and the elegantly unassuming façade of this home have to be seen to be believed. From the foyer, you move right to the kitchen - a stunning gourmet kitchen with subzero appliances, a giant center island and full size sit in eating area. At the far end you will find the unique built-in spit/pit stone barbeque. Next to the kitchen is a huge pantry/storage/laundry room. From the kitchen you go around the corner into the dining/sitting room with fireplace. The intricately glazed, fibron crown moldings are stunning as are the chandeliers and the medallion surrounds. The sun pours through the bay windows. The dining opens into the huge game room/library with pool table, game table, theatre setup and a built-in bar which seats eight. The primary bedroom can be accessed through the main hall or from the game room and again this suite stuns. The bedroom contains a sunken, pillared Jacuzzi for two, and a fireplace. Adjoining are a full bath and a changing room lined with custom cherry cabinetry. Back out to the main hall and you will find two additional bedrooms and a full bath. Throughout the main residence you will find custom made, glazed crown moldings, built-ins, incredible artwork and surprise after surprise – like the glazed, fibron niches lining the hall for the display of statuary. From the main hallway you can go down the stairs to the office and workshops. One of those surprises will be found on the stairs – an intricate wrought iron railing created by the owner. The offices feature large work tables, bookcases, a full bath and an unbelievable wine cellar bordered by gates of grapevine wrought iron – incomparable artistry. Next are the storage areas for materials and tools lining the hall to the workshops. The two story soaring ceilings are dwarfed by the overhead crane and the forge and blacksmith shops. This could remain a forge or easily become a boat repair shop serving the dozen or more marinas and the thousands of boat owners in the area; or almost become any type of fabrication or repair shop or even a couple of basketball courts. Last but not least you will find the in-law suite which was seamlessly added when the parents of the current owner needed to live close by. The spacious and elegant 1800 sq ft home within a home defies the label “suite.” In addition to the roomy open concept living/dining room and kitchen, there is an office area, a bedroom, a massive walk-in closet, accessible bath and on the lower level there are several storage rooms and another full bath. This property only needs your touch ups to make it your comfortable palace of a home, a new base for your business, or the perfect place for all of that and multi-generational living at its finest.
