About this home
Welcome to historic "Small Reward" (c. 1726), an extraordinary 2.44-acre estate documented under Maryland Historical Trust Record CT-225. Steeped in history originating from a 1688 land grant from Lord Baltimore to Captain Richard Smith, Maryland's first Attorney General, this rare property combines over three centuries of preserved heritage with modern luxury. Constructed around 1726 by George Lawrence as a post-and-beam farmhouse and expanded in the 1850s with a formal Federal-style wing, the 4-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom residence retains magnificent architectural details. Highlighted by cypress covering boards, ancient wooden rim locks, and hand-carved fireplace mantels, the home boasts extraordinary historic flooring, including first-growth chestnut floorboards up to 17 inches wide in the original wing and heart-of-pine floors in the 1850s addition. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. Flooded with natural light through abundant windows, the interior features a thoughtfully renovated gourmet chef's kitchen with premium finishes and custom cabinetry, alongside luxuriously updated bathrooms. Outside, the sprawling 2.44-acre grounds offer complete privacy, mature shade trees, and rolling lawns. A detached 2-story, 2-car contemporary garage features a versatile upper level ideal for an executive office, studio, workshop, or guest quarters. Experience an unparalleled opportunity to own a landmark piece of Calvert County history with every modern comfort.

The Rural Community District RCD is intended to maintain a mix of farms, forests, and residential uses, retain historic and scenic areas, and protect watersheds, fish, and wildlife. These goals are to be achieved in part through the mandatory clustering of subdivisions on parcels 30 acres or greater in size, with a minimum of 60 percent of the subdivision to be permanently preserved as open space. It is the intent to maintain a low residential density within this district while still allowing for some use of Transferable Development Rights TDRs. To avoid drawing traffic onto rural roads commercial uses are limited.
