Historic Tulip Hill Estate To Be Auctioned
One of the finest Pre-Revolutionary War historic estates in the United States, Tulip Hill, a grand Georgian plantation house, will be auctioned off in Harwood, Md., on April 10.
Hosted by Concierge Auctions, bids will open for the previously listed $7.5 million estate at $1.65 million, and the sale will be conducted in cooperation with Gary Getson, a certified Historic Property Specialist with Long and Foster Real Estate.
Named for its grove of grand tulip poplar trees, the house was built around 1756 by the Quaker merchant-planer Samuel Galloway with frequent visitors of George Washington and Robert E. Lee. Located at the edge of a high plateau, the land falls rapidly away on all three sides. The original impressive tree-lined lane approach to the house from the river exists today as it did more than 250 years ago.
The home has been beautifully preserved and restored on more than 52 acres that include an expansive terraced garden, water frontage and a pier on the West River.
Within the 8,000-square-foot mansion rest many modern conveniences such as central heat and air conditioning and a fully renovated kitchen.
Included in the two-level brick main house and two brick end wings are seven bedrooms, a large attic, a full stone basement and nine wood-burning fireplaces.
“The upcoming auction of Tulip Hill represents a rare opportunity for the discerning buyer to own an estate with extreme aesthetic and historical significance,” stated Laura Brady, co-founder and vice president of marketing for Concierge Auctions.

I absolutely love these homes that are so full of rich history. To have lived back then must have been so awesome, and they have really restored this home to all its glory with the finishings all modern, what with the air con and redoing the kitchen which would have been awesome to see, as the kitchen is one of my favorite rooms in any home as I am a lover of cooking, followed by the bathroom.
This is truly a home many would love to have.
