The turret catches your eye. The porch makes you want to stay awhile. Set on 4.35 acres in Harwood, Maryland, this nineteenth-century Victorian at 4601 South Polling House Road offers the kind of character that draws people to old houses in the first place. The bay windows, decorative trim, and wraparound porch make a memorable first impression, but there is more to appreciate once you step inside.
Wood floors, detailed moldings, built-ins, and fireplace mantels give you reasons to slow down and look around. With five bedrooms, four full bathrooms, and 3,088 square feet of finished living space across three levels, the house offers room to gather, host overnight guests, work from home, or keep a space just for yourself. The kitchen includes an island, space for a table, and a butler’s pantry, while main-floor laundry adds a practical convenience.
Outside, mature trees and established plantings frame the house, and the porch gives you a place to enjoy it all. Picture a quiet morning with coffee, an afternoon in the garden, or a conversation that lasts well after everyone meant to head home. A circular gravel driveway and attached carport complement the country setting in southern Anne Arundel County.
Identified in Maryland Historical Trust records as the Coleman residence, the home’s familiar turret and porch also appear in an archival photograph. Its history is something you can see, not just a date in a property record.
There is still work to be done, and the next owner should plan for further improvements. For someone who appreciates older architecture and is prepared to take on that work, this is a chance to make the choices that come next while preserving the details that drew them here.
