Welcome to Historic Dickeyville! Once a bustling village with paper and textile mills located within the Baltimore City limits, Dickeyville is named after the last mill owner, William J. Dickey. The Gwynn’s Falls, which once powered these mills, winds its way through the village and is now a scenic place for you to enjoy! Your home-away-from-home sits directly across from the Gwynns Falls river system and offers beautiful views of the surrounding 1,100 acres of natural forest. If you like serene, green habitats, you will love visiting Dickeyville. The property has a large mature perrenial garden and front yard for you to enjoy. There is ample vehicle parking in front of the home as well as a pull off driveway for one car . The gardens are glorious starting in the Spring and provide for a lovely view from inside the home. The upstairs covered porch is a special place which to view the surrounding greenspaces and hear the sounds of the rushing water of the Gwynns Falls. You will enjoy the country feel of historic Dickeyville, MD!
Originally from New England, I moved to Washington DC to attend Graduate School. After living and working in DC for many years I made a decision to move to Baltimore because I found this historic home in Dickeyville, MD and fell in love! I have lived here for over 10 years and couldn't be happier!
Guests enjoy the 1,100 acres of natural forest which surrounds Dickeyville, the Gwynn Falls river, the friendliness and quietness of the neighborhood, biking through the park, hiking through the park, days and nights sitting on the covered porch, access to stores and restaurants all within a 5 minute drive, the historic decor of the home, family dinners in the home, the large living room and dining room, the fully equipped kitchen and 24 hour access to the host for questions and suggestions.
