Historic Charm, Modern Comfort

Discover timeless charm and modern comfort in this beautifully preserved 3-bedroom, 2-bath colonial, built in 1875 and nestled in the heart of Ellicott City. Located on Frederick Road, once a major route connecting Baltimore City to Ellicott City, this home offers a unique blend of history, character, and convenience.

Perched above the Patapsco River and overlooking the iconic B&O Railroad—the first commercial railroad in the United States—this property invites you to experience Maryland’s rich heritage from your front porch. The views alone tell a story, with passing trains and river breezes adding to the ambiance.
Inside, you’ll find original hardwood floors, stone accents, and cozy architectural details that reflect the home’s historic roots. The updated kitchen features stainless steel appliances and modern cabinetry, while central air and a fenced patio provide everyday comfort and privacy.

Located just minutes from Ellicott City’s historic district, local shops, parks, and commuter routes, this home is ideal for families, professionals, or travelers seeking a unique and memorable stay. Whether you're here for a weekend or a longer-term visit, 134 Frederick Rd offers a rare opportunity to live where history meets hospitality
