A Landmark Estate in Sandy Spring – Where History and Opportunity Meet

Have you ever passed a home and thought, “I wonder what stories live there?” Now’s your chance to find out.

Welcome to one of Sandy Spring’s most admired properties—a stately residence set on nearly an acre (.97 acres) in a serene and picturesque community. Built in 1937 and thoughtfully expanded in 1972 and 1985, this one-of-a-kind estate offers not just a home, but a piece of living history: a dedicated FDR Living Museum, lovingly curated by the longtime owners, the Wood family.

The main residence features 5 spacious bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and a thoughtful layout designed for both daily comfort and entertaining. Highlights include:

A formal dining room with a charming brick accent wall

A cozy TV room and a large, sunlit living room with fireplace and wood-burning stove

An eat-in kitchen with in-unit washer/dryer

A central vacuum system for added convenience

A professional recording studio/office with a loft that could serve as an additional bedroom

A two-car garage and a rear outdoor shower

Outbuildings & Bonus Spaces
Beyond the main house, this property continues to surprise and delight. A barn, constructed in 1981, once housed the FDR Living Museum and offers an abundance of flexible space. It includes:

Two bedrooms, a full bath, living area, office, and a loft (expandable with a spiral staircase)

A Scandinavian wood stove for warmth and character

A bonus room ideal for hobbies, business, or guests

Potential for an accessory apartment or Airbnb (with county approval)

Additional structures include:

A two-car carport

A large storage shed with separate rooms for a vintage car, workshop, equipment, and lawn care

A circular driveway with ample parking for guests or clients

Whether you dream of running a home-based business, creating an art or music studio, opening an antique shop, or simply enjoying a home with unmatched character, this property offers endless possibilities.

Located just minutes from The Olney Theatre and Olney Ale House, you'll enjoy suburban peace with easy access to local culture and dining.

This isn’t just a place to live—it’s a property with a story, and a rare opportunity to write your own chapter in it.
