1527 Harkins Rd, Pylesville, MD 21132

OWN A PIECE OF NORTHERN HARFORD COUNTY HISTORY, THE FORMER MCCOMAS STORE. 165 YEARS AGO THIS STORE WOULD HAVE BEEN THE HUB OF ACTIVITY FOR THE LOCAL RESIDENTS AND COMMUNITY. TODAY, IT HAS BEEN RENOVATED INTO A BEAUTIFUL HOME THAT INCLUDES THE LUXURIES AND AMENITIES OF A MODERN RESIDENCE, WHILE MAINTAINING THE HISTORY AND CHARM OF A BYGONE TIME. BEYOND THE HISTORIC HOME AND BARN, THIS DIVERSE ACREAGE OFFERS A LITTLE BIT OF EVERYTHING. THERE IS OPEN LAWN AND FIELDS FOR RECREATION, A GRAVEL PARKING PAD AND A FIRE PIT, A HIKING PATH THROUGH THE SECLUDED WOODS AND ALONG AN UNNAMED TRIBUTARY OF FALLING BRANCH, THE FIELDSTONE FOUNDATION OF WHAT MAY HAVE BEEN AN OLD CREAMERY, AND THE REMAINS OF THE SPRINGHOUSE THAT SUPPLIED FRESHWATER TO THE HOME IN EARLIER ERAS. THIS HISTORIC PROPERTY IS LISTED ON BOTH THE 1858 AND 1878 MAPS OF HARFORD COUNTY AND IS DEPICTED WITH PHOTOS AND STORIES IN SEVERAL BOOKS, INCLUDING "THE HISTORY OF PYLESVILLE" AND "OLD COUNTRY STORES OF HARFORD COUNTY". THOUGH NOT BOUND BY REGULATORY RESTRICTIONS OR CONTROLS, THIS HOUSE APPEARS ON THE MARYLAND INVENTORY OF HISTORIC PROPERTIES AS THE SMITH-MCCOMAS FARM HOUSE.
