Maryland Historical Homes, of Monument Sotheby's International Realty, is delighted to present a very special Italianate home steeped in Maryland history. Bauernschmidt Manor sits on land once owned by Enoch Pratt, who named it "Planter's Paradise" due to the rich urban sassafras soil. To this day, the grass is brightest green, and the soil supports professional landscaping. The home was built by Robert C. Ullrich for renowned brewer and philanthropist Frederick Bauernschmidt and his wife, Agnes, in 1909, as a summer home. Mr. Bauernschmidt founded the American Brewery, which is now the headquarters for the very beautiful Humanim building. He sold the company in 1923, and many empty bottles of beer from the American Brewery, and from his father's company, the George Bauernschmidt brewing company, exist to this day, and are on display in the home. There are four incredible bedrooms and five full bathrooms, as well as sitting rooms, ground level porches, two levels of wraparound porches, a Juliet balcony, a saltwater pool, and a cupola with water views that are simply breathtaking. Enjoy the stunning landscaping while enjoying the breeze from the water. A community beach and boat access are available. This home combines the very best of wonderful historic detail while still being suited for modern living, and is looking for its next steward as it moves forward into its next chapter in history. Fun fact: the land was a popular duck hunting spot, and Presidents Harrison and Cleveland both hunted here. As a Baltimore County Historical Landmark, there are tax incentives available for owners of such properties. Many upgrades have been completed over the years, as well as many in 2025; please see documents for a complete list; it is extensive and comprehensive. A list of furniture that conveys is available in the agent documents.
