About 2307 Church Rd
Introducing ‘Mullikin’s Delight’—a remarkable 15.8 acre estate offering the extrordinary distinction of being the oldest continuously inhabited residence in Prince George’s County. With over 325 years of rich history, this property invites the next owners to become the stewards of its storied legacy. The main section of the approximately 3,000 square foot, 3 bedroom/3 full bath home was built in 1698 with additions added at different time points in the 18th and 19th centuries. The home is a testament to Maryland history with the original owners’ granddaughter marrying John Bowie II—the son of the prominent Bowie family for whom the town was named after! Step inside and you’ll be delighted by the wide plank 17th century heart pine floors, 10’ high ceilings, early Americana details and the original wood-burning, brick surround fireplace and exposed beams in the Great Room. The adjacent dining room has plenty of space for larger family gatherings and features a second wood-burning fireplace in the heart of the room. There is a main level bedroom with separate entrance to the exterior offering versatility as either the perfect space for an au pair, in-law or visiting relative, or as an office for an owner that works from home. The current owners modernized the centrally-located kitchen with new cabinetry, granite countertops, new stainless appliances and range hood, a porcelain farm sink and an island with a propane cooktop. The upper floor features a large primary bedroom with a converted walk-in closet and an en-suite bathroom complete with a double vanity, soaking tub and a walk-in floor-to-ceiling tiled shower. There is an additional bedroom on the second level with an adjacent large full bath. The roof was recently replaced with new composite slate shingles and there were numerous additional updates over the past years including mechanicals--4 new zoned HVAC systems (2021), all new plumbing (2012), twin electrical ‘heavy up’ panels which can carry 200A each (2012), new gas manifold lines (2012) and a 205' deep well (2012). There is a workshop/shed which doubles as covered parking for 2-3 vehicles and another larger ‘tobacco barn’ which has plenty of space for a tractor, zero-turn mower, four wheeler and yard equipment. The grounds are a gardeners dream with a large detached greenhouse, grape arbor, blueberry patch and an enclosed/fenced vegetable garden. There are also plenty of outdoor spaces to relax and unwind at including front and rear outdoor patios, a smaller patio area with hammock, a picnic area, zen garden, outdoor swing, a large stone fire pit and even a walking trail through the woods which encircles the property. Conveniently located between I-495 and US-301 for easy access to points north and south--you’ll wonder how you can feel away from it all yet be just 10 miles and under 25 minutes to the Washington DC line, 30 minutes to BWI airport and just 20 miles to downtown Annapolis. Whether you want to go completely ‘off the grid’ or not, this property can accommodate. Come visit today…it’s a place you’ll never want to leave.
