Property Description

A truly exceptional offering in the heart of historic Williamsport, Maryland, the Old Steffey House - long known as Williamsport’s Banking Mansion - offers a rare opportunity to own one of the area's most distinguished residences. Originally constructed circa 1814, this remarkable estate carries more than two centuries of history and architectural significance, yet has been completely reimagined for modern luxury. The current owners undertook an extraordinary top-to-bottom transformation, meticulously renovating virtually every square inch of the home, both inside and out. The result is an immaculate residence that seamlessly combines historic character with the quality, comfort, and sophistication of a newly completed luxury home. The renovation was comprehensive, not cosmetic, with new electrical, plumbing, heating and cooling systems, beautifully remodeled bathrooms, a completely redesigned gourmet kitchen, new flooring, lighting, fixtures, finishes, custom cabinetry, restored millwork and plasterwork, and countless additional upgrades throughout. The exterior has received the same level of attention, including restored and repointed brickwork, enhanced landscaping, updated outdoor living spaces, and improvements to the detached two-car garage. Historic fireplaces, original architectural details, soaring proportions, and exquisite craftsmanship remain throughout the home, preserving the character that makes this property so special. The main level offers an impressive series of formal and informal spaces, including elegant living and drawing rooms, a sun-filled library with custom built-ins and wet bar, and a stunning dining room featuring custom mural wall coverings and a beautifully detailed coffered ceiling. At the heart of the home is a luxurious gourmet kitchen featuring custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless-steel appliances, chevron tile backsplash, oversized island, and spacious butler's pantry, opening to an inviting family room and spectacular rear entertaining spaces. Upstairs, five generously sized bedrooms - each with its own fireplace - include two luxurious ensuite bedrooms, accompanied by three additional beautifully renovated bathrooms. A magnificent solarium overlooks the rear gardens, while the expansive attic provides excellent storage and future possibilities. Outside, the full-depth lot offers beautifully landscaped grounds, mature plantings, an expansive paver patio, covered pavilion, rear lawn, detached two-car garage, and ample parking. Located in one of Williamsport's most sought-after settings, the property is just blocks from the Potomac River and C&O Canal towpath, while enjoying the restaurants, boutiques, businesses, and revitalization that continue to elevate this historic community. Adding to the area's momentum, a multi-million-dollar commercial development is currently underway immediately adjacent to the property, representing significant private investment and further underscoring Williamsport's continued growth and potential for future appreciation. The Old Steffey House is more than a home - it is a piece of Williamsport history that has been given an extraordinary new life. For the discerning buyer seeking historic pedigree, uncompromising renovation, exceptional craftsmanship, and modern luxury in one of Western Maryland's most desirable communities, opportunities of this caliber are exceedingly rare. The history is over two centuries old. The home has been meticulously reimagined for today.
