A One-of-a-Kind Historic Treasure Reimagined for Modern Living Step into history with this extraordinary Greek Revival chapel, originally built in 1865 as Walton Chapel and later renamed Mowbray Chapel. Nestled on 3.22 picturesque acres in Chestertown’s serene Quaker Neck community, this stunning brick structure has been thoughtfully restored and modernized, seamlessly blending old-world charm with contemporary luxury. Once abandoned, Mowbray Chapel has undergone a breathtaking transformation. In 2021, the entire interior was rebuilt, preserving its soaring ceilings, grand arched windows, and rich brick walls while incorporating high-end finishes and modern conveniences to create a truly one-of-a-kind living space. The fully renovated kitchen and bath provide modern amenities while maintaining historic character, and a gas wood stove and substantial woodwork enhance the warmth and charm of the space. A new well and an advanced ATU/BAT septic system rated for a 4-bedroom home offer long-term comfort and expansion potential. With new high-speed internet connectivity, you can stay connected while enjoying the serenity of this unique retreat. Set on over three acres, the property offers lush green lawns, mature trees, and a peaceful pond, providing an enchanting backdrop for year-round enjoyment. Whether you're hosting intimate gatherings or simply unwinding in the tranquil surroundings, this setting is pure magic. Mowbray Chapel presents endless opportunities, whether as a private residence, a sought-after Airbnb rental, or a charming event or wedding venue. The potential to expand or build additional structures makes this an incredible investment. Located just ten minutes from historic downtown Chestertown, you’ll enjoy easy access to boutique shopping, waterfront dining, farmers' markets, art galleries, and cultural festivals. Explore the scenic Chester River, visit Washington College, or indulge in local seafood at charming restaurants. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to own a piece of history while embracing modern luxury and investment potential. Whether you dream of a peaceful retreat, a thriving Airbnb, or a breathtaking event venue, Mowbray Chapel is ready to make your vision a reality.
