That sunroom! That bridge! Circa 1928 in Maryland

Discover the Rich History and Timeless Elegance of “The Dingle”

In 1926, this remarkable home was christened “The Dingle,” a name inspired by a beautiful private estate located just outside Liverpool, England. The original owners hailed from England and were the great-grandparents of the current owner, Paul Stern, whose family lovingly built and maintained this stately residence.

Crafted with top-quality materials and exceptional craftsmanship, The Dingle stands as a true testament to enduring quality. The home features the finest Sitka spruce from Alaska, a Vermont slate roof, all copper plumbing, and basement walls that are an impressive 8 inches thick, built directly on bedrock. Throughout the home, cedar closets with solid wood doors add a touch of rustic elegance and durability.

The detached two-car garage is equally impressive, boasting reinforced concrete floors and a lower-level workshop for added functionality. A fascinating piece of local history is intertwined with the property—a bridge built by General Braddock’s troops spans a spring-fed stream that winds through the land. This steel bridge connects the garage to the main house, adding a unique historical charm to the estate.

Inside, the home offers many distinctive features, including a magical sunroom that fills the space with natural light, a breakfast room with beautiful parquet flooring adjacent to the kitchen, and exquisite hardwood oak floors throughout much of the home. Additional highlights include a Butler’s pantry, generously sized closets uncommon for homes of this era, a Jack-and-Jill bathroom, and an ensuite primary bedroom bath.

Upstairs, you’ll find a two-room area with charming pine floors, a full bath, and cedar walls that continue the home’s connection to nature. A main-floor family room—currently arranged as an office—opens to a deck overlooking tranquil surroundings, providing the perfect spot for relaxation or entertaining.

This four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath brick beauty is conveniently located within walking distance to the C&O Canal Towpath and Canal Place, and just a short drive to Deep Creek Lake.
