RARE AND REMARKABLE piece of Calvert County history - a 300 year old home and property in the Marley Run neighborhood, dating back between 1678 and 1725! You do not want to miss your opportunity to view this one-of-a-kind historical gem. From the whimsical gardens to the rolling hillside, original first growth chestnut hardwood flooring combined with heart of pine flooring added with the federal wing in the 1850s, post and beam construction and multiple outbuildings, this home and property is like something out of a story book - a history book! " Small Reward Road, Huntingtown 20639, was an original grant dating to 1688, from Leonard Calvert, Lord Baltimore, to Capt. Richard Smith the first Attorney General of Maryland. The name Small Reward originates from a bounty offered by Lord Baltimore to Richard Smith to safely relocate settlers of the Colony of Virginia to Maryland. A bounty of 2500 acres was offered for the safe transport to Maryland. While en route to Calvert, two of the settlers died. Richard Smith was granted a Small Reward of 550 acres. Small Reward was acquired by the Lawrence family, and it seems probable that the dwelling house at Small Reward was built by George Lawrence circa 1725. It was a one and one-half story log house typical of the period, later it was augmented by a large addition which entailed a center hall and a Federal wing in the 1850s. The house retains the original cypress covering boards, original mantels and flooring, as well as some ancient wooden door locks. Small Reward, now furnished with antiques and family pieces, is an excellent example of the early Calvert County farm house.This incredible home is located in the sought-after Marley Run community and within close proximity to major commuter routes 4 & 2 as well as local shopping, dining and entertainment. You do not want to miss your opportunity to tour a home unlike any other! Mark your calendars, this home is COMING SOON! '
