5701 Glasgow Ct, Cambridge, MD 21613

"Glasgow" is a 2 1/2 story brick home designed in the Federal style, built some time about 1790. The kitchen wing was moved and subsequently replaced about 1920. The older section of the house retains all the original mouldings and mantels. It is a National Register building. The house sits on nearly three acres of lawn in a park-like setting a short distance from the Choptank River with numerous large trees and a broad view of the river from the back yard. There is a nineteenth century Greek Revival outbuilding that has been used as an office. It has a fireplace, electric baseboard heating and internet access. The yard also has a useful shed large enough for all needed yard equipment. Recently planted hedges will provide a degree of privacy as they mature. Other additions since purchasing include horizontal (Venetian) blinds in the older section, a centrally-monitored security and fire alarm system, internet/TV cable connection, Invisible Fence and chimney-top dampers. There is natural gas availability from a line that runs across the front of the property with a already approved 20% Federal Tax Credit for installation of a new gas boiler. Glasgow was established as a B&B from the late 1980's until 2014 and has subsequently been open through airbnb for Eagleman and Ironman weekends. It is within easy walking distance from the start of the races and has been very popular with boarders.
