About this property

Nearby! Fossil Hunting - Solomons Boardwalk - Paddleboard/Boat Rentals - Museum

The Manor resides on 3 secluded acres. Close to everything Southern Maryland has to offer, yet feels a million miles away.

The Courtyard Studio suite is tiny living at it's finest! Perfect for one person, but will accommodate two people who enjoy a minimalist footprint. Every inch of this suite is maximized to ensure you're not missing any luxuries in your cozy space.

The studio suite has a private courtyard with a fountain and sitting area and it's own private entrance. There are no spaces (other than the 3 acres of property grounds) that are shared with other guests or the owners.

The Courtyard Studio has a well equipped kitchenette with a mini fridge, microwave and small sink as well as cutlery, dishes and a Keurig coffee maker with plenty of K-Cup options to suit every taste.

You'll find the basic pantry staples like salt and pepper, sugar/sugar substitute packets and creamer for coffee.

Your room is appointed with a 32 inch smart TV. BYOP to login to your Netflix, Hulu or Prime TV account and watch your favorite movie or show.

High Speed WIFI is available.

Your room has a comfortable, plush full size bed, as well as a sitting chair and side table for working or eating.

Everything in the studio - from the fixtures to the tile, to the furniture - is brand new.

Whether you're passing through for work or pleasure, this will become your favorite little getaway spot. You'll enjoy sitting in your own private brick courtyard with a cup of coffee in the morning or unwinding with glass of wine at sunset. Bring a book or a journal because there's something about this place that will inspire your inner creative.

The bathroom has a tiled stand up shower and pedestal sink. You'll also find premium shampoo, conditioner and body wash should you need it.

Enjoy your evenings in the courtyard while listening to your favorite podcast while the fountain peacefully trickles in the background. Grab some local meat/produce just up the road at The Chesapeake's Bounty. The courtyard has a gas grill for your use. Or take a 5 minute stroll just down the road for a drink and dinner on the water at Vera's Beach Club.

Experience a piece of Southern Maryland history. Bancroft Manor was among the first homes along St Leonard's creek. Every square foot of this house has been renovated - but the unique Tidewater Maryland architecture remains.

About the host

Hosted by Julie

Hey, I'm Julie! My husband Jason and I are real estate investors in Southern Maryland. We are just two Libras trying to make the world a more beautiful place one renovation at a time.

Why they chose this property

I specifically remember the first time I saw this house shortly after relocating to Southern Maryland. I was incredibly intrigued by it and wondered what it even was - it was so mysterious. Just my style. Little did I know that a few years later we would get to turn it into our dream home.

When we saw the house for sale, despite being in pretty bad shape, we knew it had to be ours. The complete restoration/ renovation took over a year to complete.

I immediately had a vision for what I wanted to create, in that I knew this property was meant to be shared. With friends, with family and anyone else who wants to experience its majestic beauty. It really is quite a magical place. The home and the property has a personality of its own. And as I dreamed up the renovation, I fully listened to what this house and this land wanted to be again, and that's exactly what we created. And we hope and pray we did it justice.

It was definitely the biggest project of our lives. But now we are grateful to sit back and enjoy this as our full time home and share it with others as they pass through.
