About the Listing REFC2 - 89071
Welcome to Waverly Mansion—an extraordinary equestrian estate and historic landmark set on over 7 acres of gently rolling land, with the option to purchase additional surrounding acreage. Ideally located within the protected Rural Tier and bordering the 6,000-acre Patuxent River Park with its miles of wooded riding trails, this rare property blends historical legacy, refined living, and premier horse facilities—just minutes from Washington, D.C. and Annapolis. Built in 1855 by tobacco grower John W. Burroughs, Waverly Mansion is a stunning example of Italianate Victorian architecture, notable for its rare Big-House two-staircase layout. The grand, three-story floating staircase greets you in the entry hall, flanked by twin parlors, a formal dining room, and a thoughtfully renovated kitchen. The home’s intricate moldings, original woodwork, marble mantels, and soaring ceilings speak to its craftsmanship and preservation. The spacious upper-level bedrooms include a luxurious primary suite with spa-style bathroom, utility room, and walk-in closet—all modern enhancements that were added with great care and respect for the home's character. Extensive structural and aesthetic restoration has been completed, guided by a historic preservation specialist who also worked on windows at the White House. Exterior repairs used ship-grade wood originally imported from England in the 1800s. Updates include chimney restoration, installation of gas fireplaces, a wood-burning stove, new porch flooring and rails, and a stabilized front porch. For the equestrian enthusiast, the property features a professionally designed dressage arena with quality footing and drainage, multiple board-fenced paddocks with run-ins, and a 12-stall barn (two stalls function as run-ins). Additional features include an indoor wash area, owner’s and boarders’ tack rooms, a manure pit, and a well-appointed apartment—ideal for a tenant or barn manager. Several outbuildings echo the estate’s historic style, including the original smokehouse, summer kitchen, and a small animal barn. Whether you're drawn by its equestrian infrastructure, historical relevance, or the serenity of country living near the city, Waverly Mansion offers a truly unmatched lifestyle. A timeless estate where horses roam, history lives, and no detail has been overlooked. ***Seller also owns additional adjacent acreage that may be subdivided. Open to negotiation.***
