Nestled in the heart of the historic Dickey Mill community in Oella, this three story home offers a rare blend of 1890 millworker charm and thoughtful modern updates. This home stands out for its character, condition, setting, and private parking. The main level welcomes you with rich hardwood floors and a fully updated kitchen featuring light cabinetry, granite countertops, recessed lighting, and stainless steel appliances. There is ample space for casual dining, while the adjoining dining room offers a clean, open feel, creating a versatile space for everyday meals or special gatherings. A full bathroom on this level adds convenience and functionality. The second level offers a bright and spacious landing flex space, a beautifully appointed living room with hardwood flooring, and a large office that can easily serve as an additional bedroom. A half bathroom completes this floor. On the top level, the expansive primary bedroom is accompanied by a third generously sized bedroom and a spacious full bathroom. The bathroom area includes both a walk in closet and a custom reach in closet, providing excellent storage. Recent improvements include updated bathrooms throughout all three levels, a newly installed stone patio added in summer 2025, exterior wood siding that was repaired and repainted in 2025, and new gutters. Additional features include an unfinished basement for storage, a side deck, a rear patio, and a peaceful wooded backdrop. The property also offers access to a private trail along the Patapsco River, with seasonal river views that enhance the setting and connection to nature. Dickey Mill was once the largest textile mill in the United States, and today the surrounding community remains one of Ellicott City’s most beloved historic districts. This in demand historic townhouse offers timeless character, modern comfort, and a truly special location within the Oella and Ellicott City area.
