“The Green Spring Valley Historic District is a suburban area of Baltimore that acquires significance from the collection of 18th, 19th, and early 20th century buildings and for its park-like setting that retains a late 19th-early atmosphere. The buildings, primarily houses set among rolling hills, forested highlands, and tree-lined drives and roads, embody the distinctive design characteristics of the major architectural styles popular in the United States from the Neoclassical of the 1700s to the Georgian and other revivals of the pre-1930 period. 
The district was designated and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. Its boundaries encompass 282 buildings (148 contributing and 134 non-contributing) spread over an area of 4,800 acres. From its initial settlement in the 18th century, the Green Spring Valley has been primarily a rural area. Although land in the valley was originally purely agricultural, since the mid 19th century the number of working farms has steadily decreased as the area became popular as a setting for the country houses of prosperous city residents. Today the character of the land might be compared to an extended landscaped park.” THE STONE DAIRY occupies a picturesque 2.5-acre expanse of verdant landscaping, once part of the 467-acre estate acquired by Samuel Moor Shoemaker I (1821-1884). Erected in 1906, the original substantial stone edifice served as the bottling facility for Burnside Farms Dairy and has undergone meticulous restoration by the current homeowners for over three decades. One homeowner, a Master Gardener, and the other, a skilled carpenter, have painstakingly preserved and enhanced the building's original charm and craftsmanship. Constructed from locally quarried stone located a few miles away, the residence features walls ranging from 14 to 16 inches thick, comprised of three tiers of stone. Spanning over 4700 square feet, the home offers spacious rooms providing a cozy setting for gatherings with family and friends. Revel in the updated eat-in Kitchen, a sunlit Sitting Room leading to a side slate terrace, or the inviting ambiance of the candlelit Dining Room, adorned with stone accent walls and warm honey-toned wood floors. The Family Room boasts a soaring original wood beamed ceiling, illuminated by a skylight, with glass paned French doors opening to a brick terrace overlooking the pool and expansive gardens. With four Bedrooms across multiple levels, three Full Bathrooms, and a Powder Room, the residence includes a dedicated space for a home Office or Gym, an upper-level second Kitchen/Bar area for seamless entertaining, and an expansive Living Room encircled by wood-clad sash windows offering tranquil valley views. A grand stone fireplace adorns one wall, complemented by gleaming original wood flooring, culminating in a refined aesthetic. The Primary Suite Bathroom features heated tumbled marble flooring, a custom frameless oversized shower, and a soaking tub set within an atrium-like environment, providing a spa-like retreat. For gardening enthusiasts, the attached Potting Shed is equipped with running water, ample shelving, and drying racks for flowers. The Workroom Shed, complete with necessary tools and equipment storage, offers a convenient space for repairs and projects. Noteworthy features include an in-ground heated saltwater pool encircled by slate coping stones, a bespoke Poolside Cabana with wood-framed sliding glass doors, a double oak barrel bar, and a relaxing swinging daybed. Admire the diverse garden beds, specimen shrubs, and trees while savoring the tranquility of this unparalleled setting.  Truly, an oasis of unparalleled charm and elegance. AS IS Sale.
