101 E 2nd St

Frederick, MD 21701

A rare opportunity is presented with this charming and exceptional property located in the heart of the award-winning historic city of Frederick, Maryland, one of Money Magazine’s “50 Best Places to Live in the US” in 2024 for its history, culture, enviable social and food scene, and flourishing economy. This luxurious property, known as The Jacob Brunner House, is on the Frederick County Registry of the National Historical Landmarks Foundation. Step inside to an era where comfort, attention to detail, and charm were the order of the day. The spacious entrance hall features a grand floating staircase and sweeping hand-carved mahogany baluster rising to the two floors above. On the main level enjoy the exceptionally high ceilings, pocket doors, and extraordinary details that include 3 fully-restored Italian marble fireplaces, built-in custom shelving in the Library, and fully-restored original wide plank flooring. A dining room and two luxurious parlors are located on this floor, as well as a full bath, and the spacious first floor kitchen, fully modernized, features the original ceiling-high cooking hearth. The grand staircase leads to a second floor that includes four spacious rooms, two fireplaces and two full baths, with many possibilities as to how you might use the spaces: bedroom, work from home, playroom, or private sitting rooms with views of stunning 2nd street. The second floor also boasts built-in finished cabinets, two laundry rooms, and a second stairway that leads to three bonus rooms with sweeping vistas of historic downtown. From the second floor you can step outside onto a beautifully-restored wrap-around covered porch, with easy access to the courtyard garden and 3-car garage below via a spiral staircase. The grand staircase opens on the third floor to a complete suite that includes a foyer/office, full kitchen, two great rooms, a full bath and ample custom built-in cabinetry and storage. The third floor also boasts an expansive view of historic Frederick, a fully-restored original fireplace, and the same high ceilings, custom woodwork and wide plank flooring that typify the entire manse. The third-floor also has independent access to the outside covered porch, spiral stair, garden and garage. Indeed, each level of the house has two points of access: the front door/grand stair and a rear door for access to the porch, gardens and garage. One of only a handful of properties with a three-car garage in historic Frederick, this home also boasts one of the largest walled gardens in the city. Step outside into the garden where peace and serenity prevail. The hard brick landscaping from the back door leads through the garden to the garage, passing by a raised deck where you can enjoy a sunbath, summer evenings with friends, or a quiet morning with your favorite cup of Joe. A brand-new jacuzzi under the garden pavilion will tempt you with every stroll through the manicured meditation garden. There is also a large potting shed with great storage, and a walkway that provides access through the garden wall directly to the street. Basement access is just outside the back door: to a very large, dry, well-maintained, well-lit basement that provides ample storage. The property is presently zoned for a single family home, for three apartments, or for a Bed and Breakfast, but like many nearby properties, it has a strong potential to be re-zoned to a multi-unit condominium investment property. It can therefore be a lovely home for a well-to-do family, a two- or three-apartment building, a high-end Airbnb investment, a traditional Bed and Breakfast, or it could be developed into a multi-condominium investment. Walk just minutes from this property to the canal with its beautiful summer lilies, patio dining and fountains, and live music, not to mention the micro-breweries, the vibrant art and theatre offerings and award-winning restaurants. If you have very high expectations, this property won't disappoint. Live your bliss
