Listing We Love: A Fairytale Stone Farmhouse Remodeled to Perfection

Built in 1820 and recently brought back to life with a $1 million investment, the Stoney Brook Farm in Pleasant Valley, Maryland, is one of those rare historic properties that has been gorgeously adapted for contemporary life without losing an ounce of its charm. Built on 57 acres, the property has the feel of a Cotswold estate, with a stream running through its fields, an orchard perched on the hill, and multiple greenhouses to suit any master gardener’s needs. Plus it’s just a few miles from the Potomac and Harpers Ferry.

The house itself has been updated to an exceptional standard, with vintage French terra cotta floors and spacious, modern-sized rooms dedicated with a sophisticated rustic flair. The restored woodwork has a Quaker-chic vibe and seven—yes, seven—fireplaces add coziness (and hopefully, warmth).
