Aberdeen, MD 21001

Welcome to 3850 W Chapel Rd, known as "Chestnut Ridge,"a distinguished residence that offers a sense of comfort and inviting warmth. Built circa 1810 by Christian Hoopman, this brick and wood sided dwelling is an example of historic Federal-style architecture that rarely still exists today in Harford County. This home is situated on over 7 acres and offers an impressive 3-car detached garage with a floored loft (has electric and an option to tie in water/sewer- already trenched), additional 1-car detached stone garage, and the original stone springhouse that offers additional storage as well. With its beautifully preserved features and thoughtful modern updates, this home offers a unique blend of past and present.
