Description
History and distinguished ownership! This charming home is ready for those seeking the rural life but not too far from all the action! *Morgan's were first owners, part of the original King's Grant. Town was called Morganville before renamed Queen Anne. Rear of home built 1859-1863. Train from Washington traveled through the middle of town as the surrounding homes took in families to escape the hot summers in DC. Ely family had a sawmill and employed most of the people on their farms. Mr. Ely built the Tidewater Inn in Easton and the staircase at the Inn is identical to the one in the home! Daughter of Franklin D. and Eleanor Roosevelt purchased the house with her husband (the Dails). It was a getaway for her and her husband who became ill, so they stayed in DC for specialized medical care. Dails sold to B.F. Goodrich heir Marmi Royen, and it was her heirs who sold the house to the current owners, who have enjoyed restoring the home and added a variety of fruit trees (peach, pear heritage apple and cherry). Bake a pie and enjoy a slice on the inviting front porch. A small garden area is located to the side of the home, ready for fresh herbs and vegetables. Bay Bridge 30 minutes, Annapolis, 40 mins and 1 hour to the Delaware beaches. Talbot County schools. Tuckahoe Creek just down the road beyond park with tot lot and ball field. Intensive restoration has been done by the Owner's and a list of those can be provided via email.
