Welcome to The Grove House, a true architectural cottage nestled in the heart of Washington Grove, MD. Built in 1875 and never altered, this original one of a kind track house is a living testament to a simpler, more connected way of life. With 2 bedrooms, 1 full bath, and 742 square feet of thoughtfully preserved space, this slightly tilted cottage is waiting for your vision and offers rare character with modern functionality. Modern updates include a new AC and heating system (2017) and a water heater (2020). The home’s unique design—with a steep-pitched roof and arched gable frame a narrow, high-ceiling interior with no hallways that exudes charm. Twin porches offer both privacy and community. A hallmark of The Grove House is its front porch, opened by two large wooden doors on the gable end, echoing the tradition of porches as social centers of town life. Facing the now-pedestrian First Avenue, your evenings can be spent strolling tree-lined paths that have welcomed generations. Nestled in a town honored on the National Register of Historic Places, The Grove House embodies the essence of “A Town within the Forest.” Here, homes blend naturally into the wooded landscape, creating a peaceful, almost magical environment. Enjoy access to town amenities including McCathran Hall for concerts, a gazebo for gatherings, sports fields, tennis courts, and scenic parks perfect for wandering. With MARC train service just outside the town and I-270 nearby, you can commute to the city with ease—then retreat home to history, beauty, and a deep sense of belonging. The Grove House isn’t just a home. It’s a retreat home to history.
