Escape to another place and time at this farm located in Indian Head, in Western Charles County, Maryland.

This 4BR 2.5FB, 3 level home is located on a 13.22 acre farm and has been transformed into a modern custom home, yet keeping the charm of the original construction. The deep renovation included restoring the original wood floors, doors and trim as well as upgrading the electrical and plumbing systems.
