Property Description

Majestic wrought-iron gates greet you as you arrive at Historic Bellvue, a private and secluded estate.  Just past the gate is a charming guest cottage with 1 bedroom, 1 full bath, a kitchenette and fireplace. Beyond the guest house the estate unfolds into a peaceful park-like setting. You first come upon the main house.

Built in 1800, this beautifully renovated home known as Bellevue, is situated on a 10.23 acre estate just minutes from the National Harbor and Washington DC. The Estate was one of Southern Marylands' former tobacco plantations. It now includes a 4-level main house with 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths, a kitchen with granite counter-tops and gas fireplace, elegant formal rooms with the original pine plank flooring, and wood-burning fireplaces, a library with built-in book shelves, 2 large bedrooms with wood-burning fireplaces, and 2 bedrooms with wall to wall carpeting.

Additional out buildings and landscaped coves created by lush shrubs and flowering plants, provide plenty of room for entertaining away from the main house. A blue marble patio is a central focal point, with granite stone pathways taking you to the outlaying structures found on the estate.

The Orangery provides an all-season retreat, and allows for flower and plant growth during cold winter months. It also provides the perfect spot for afternoon happy hour or a late morning brunch.  To the side of the Orangery, and in another hidden cove is a hot tub.

Towards the back of the property is a stunning Greek Temple with a grotesque perched high atop of its entrance.  It is currently being used as a home office, and includes a full bath, wood-burning fireplace and a floor-to-ceiling, wall-to wall span of windows overlooking lush trees and a creek that runs through the back of the property.. It could easily be converted to an additional guest house if desired.

The Bellvue is only one of three surviving, once popular, Tidewater models, and is an excellent example of the early architectural style found throughout the area.
