Welcome to 9203 Hickory Hill Road. Located in Elk Township and in close proximity to Fair Hill, Maryland, this 7 acre property is looking for new owners. Nestled well off the road, you will enjoy views of the surrounding countryside from almost every window, porch, deck, or balcony. The property has both a small stream and pond for your enjoyment. The original home was constructed in 1790, an addition was added in 1870 and 1974-5 and the owners managed to keep the ambience of the home throughout.
Entering through the front door you will find yourself in a bright tiled two story entry with sliders out the back to a large deck. The staircase leads to a guest suite and the computer loft. To the right through French doors is the keeping room that features original wood beams, a wood burning Vermont soapstone stove in the stone fireplace, and original pine floors. In the entry to the left through another set of French doors is the family room/in law suite. Bright and sunny, this room features windows all around, a separate outside entry, and a kitchenette. This room is carpeted and would make a great room for family entertaining. The owners added air conditioning to this area of the home The formal dining room will be both your formal and informal eating area and features deep window sills, a stone fireplace that adds charm but is non-functioning, oak floors, plus a door to the huge sunporch. This sunporch is a great playroom or space to have a party. The dining room fireplace could be made functional with the addition of a liner and removal of the cap.
As in most homes the kitchen is the heart of the home and this one is no exception. There is space for an eating area and you will appreciate the counter and cabinet space. Meal preparation and cleanup will be an easy task with an electric range and built-in dishwasher. Shelves on one wall are a great place to display your collection of teapots or plates. You could add more cabinet space to this area. Your view from the kitchen sink will include the stand of pine that lines part of the driveway. The sunporch and deck will be great spots in warmer weather for entertaining or relaxing with views of the pond and field.
You will find plenty of sleeping space with five bedrooms to choose from. The master bedroom could be one of three larger bedrooms all featuring neutral calm colors. There are oak plank floors in most of the bedrooms and good closet space. Bedroom 1 or the master bedroom has lovely soft green paint and has a spacious feel to it. All the bedrooms in the original section of the house feature deep windowsills and new windows. Bedroom 2 features lots of space and good closet space and a view of the pond. A subtle pale blue color decorates this room. Bedroom 3 is located in the newer section of the home and features a ceiling fan, pine floors and walk in closet. This is a good bedroom for guests or teenagers and is completely neutral in décor. Bedroom 4 is the smallest bedroom and would make a perfect nursery or home office. This bedroom features a view of the drive and pine trees and is the closest bedroom to the balcony. The balcony was redone and makes a great warm weather spot to enjoy a book and a beverage. Bedroom 5 is located in the newer section of the home and is neutral in décor. This bedroom was part of the in law suite and features carpet over pine flooring and one of the two full baths. The other bath was updated and redone in 1995 and features a full bathtub with sliding door and barn wood siding. A hall closet provides more storage space for linens.
