About this home
Welcome to 25 West Main Street, a unique and historic property in the heart of New Market, Maryland. Built in 1793, this beautifully preserved Federal-style stone residence—known as the John Morris Prosser House—is the only stone home in town and offers a rare opportunity to own a significant piece of Maryland’s history. Set on a meticulously landscaped half-acre lot, the property blends 18th-century elegance with modern comfort and functionality. Zoned for both residential and commercial use, it offers endless potential for a variety of lifestyle or business ventures.
Inside, the home offers approximately 4,064 square feet of finished living space across three levels, featuring five bedrooms, 3 full baths. The interiors are rich with character, showcasing original plaster and brick walls, exposed wood beams, moldings, and hardwood floors. The main level includes a formal living room with a fireplace and a custom-painted mural depicting New Market’s history, a formal dining room, and an updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances, ample counters, a pantry, and the original brick fireplace. A sunroom/family room adds a bright, welcoming space with a wood-burning stove, an exit to the backyard, and a custom-built “catio”—a safe playhouse for cats. This room also offers built-in storage and a discreet washer and dryer. The main level grants access to a large unfinished stone basement, ideal for storage.
Main-level rooms can serve as bedrooms, offices, studios, or fitness spaces. The adaptable layout suits work, relaxation, or hosting guests.
Upstairs, the main house features a spacious primary suite with a bedroom, sitting or dressing area, an updated bath with tub and shower, built-in storage, and a private staircase. Another bedroom or study includes a fireplace. The upper landing has built-in bookcases and a cozy reading nook, with access to two unfinished attics, offering expansion potential.
An attached secondary wing, added later, enhances flexibility with a private upper-level bedroom suite and oversized full bath. The main level includes a study or office with a wet bar and separate front and side entrances, ideal for guests, a home business, or rental use. Access to a large two-room attic provides further expansion possibilities. Modern systems, heating/cooling, public sewer, and well water ensure year-round comfort.
Outdoors, the property impresses with a five-bay carriage house—imagine using it as an artist’s studio, workshop, office, car storage, or gym. The fully fenced lot includes a second alley gate. A remarkably preserved two-level log cabin, estimated to be about 175 years old, stands alongside a historic smokehouse and original outhouse. Additional features include a pool changing room, chicken coop, treehouse, and a charming gazebo that invites relaxation in the garden setting. Outdoor living is further enhanced by a paved terrace and larger paver patio—perfect for entertaining or unwinding. The spacious backyard also includes an inviting inground pool and generous paved parking.
Lovingly maintained and thoughtfully updated, the home retains its historic integrity while offering modern livability. Dual residential and commercial zoning provides incredible flexibility—ideal as a private residence, small business, bed and breakfast, or short-term rental. Full historical background and structural details are available.
Just steps from New Market’s shops, restaurants, and year-round events, this exceptional property combines historic charm, expansive living space, business potential, and walkable convenience. Whether your dream is a family home, boutique enterprise, or both, 25 West Main Street is a rare opportunity.
