Walk through Cresaptown

A mid-century house on a wide lawn in western Maryland, renovated with an unusually sure hand. Twelve rooms, in order.. Scroll to walk through — every photograph is the real house.

Cresaptown, Maryland

A long white house on a green

Low, mid-century, and set back far enough that the lawn reads as the front garden. The ridge sits behind it. Cumberland is ten minutes down the road.

  • Sleeps 5
  • Big lawn

The first place you sit

The screened porch

Ceiling fan, striped cushions, and the trees close enough to hear. It runs along the side of the house, out of the sun.

  • Screened
  • Ceiling fan

Painted brick, and an upright piano

The living room

The fireplace is painted a deep slate blue, which should not work and entirely does. There is a piano against the far wall.

One room into the next

Living, straight through to dining

Hardwood the whole way. Whoever is cooking can still hear the conversation, which is the only test that matters in a house this size.

  • Hardwood floors

Navy, brass and white tile

The kitchen

Deep navy cabinets, brass handles, subway tile to the ceiling and a stone counter with room to actually work on.

  • Full kitchen
  • Dishwasher

Mustard curtains, afternoon sun

The dining room

A mid-century table under a pendant light, with the door to the garden right there. The curtains are the colour of a good egg yolk.

  • Seats 5

The small thing that matters at seven a.m.

Coffee, both ways

Drip and pods, tea in the tray beside it, and the microwave where you would expect it to be.

  • Coffee maker

Queen bed

The blue room

A full wall of deep blue behind a caned headboard, windows on two sides, and a chair you would actually sit in.

  • Queen bed

Queen bed

The green room

Brass bedstead against a forest-green wall, floating nightstands, and reading lights that swing where you need them.

  • Queen bed
  • Reading lights

Queen bed

The white room

The quiet one. White walls, wide floorboards, and a window that catches the morning.

  • Queen bed

Subway tile and black hexagon

The bathroom

Tub and shower together, a round brass mirror, and a black hexagon floor that makes the whole room look considered.

  • Tub & shower

Where the evening goes

A stone ring, and the whole lawn

Chairs around a proper stone fire pit, with more grass behind it than most houses get. It is a quiet street — people walk it in the evenings.

  • Fire pit
  • Large yard
