Mt. Chimborazo: A Link Between Past and Present
Take a step back in time to an age of elegance and country living. Built in 1883, this home is a frame, three bay, two story, Italianate-style dwelling overlooking Breton Bay in Leonardtown, Maryland. This home is not only architecturally significant, but is also important for its builders - Stephen Norris and Andrew Garner - and for its owner - Captain Benjamin Foxwell, schooner captain, county commissioner, sheriff, and deputy commander of the Maryland State Fishery Force.The many features of this fine home include a 2-story porch with stunning views of Breton Bay, original pine floors, beautiful staircase, period decorative treatments, well-apportioned bedrooms, and much more. From the expansive living room to the wide upstairs landing, from the stately linden trees to the separate potter's studio, the comfort and ambience of Mt. Chimborazo are evident at every turn. The location of this 1-acre property is ideal - you can walk down the hill to access the water on Breton Bay, or take a very short ride to historic downtown Leonardtown and its galleries, shops, restaurants, and the excitement of its soon-to-be-completed Wharf.
