About 13036 Long Green Pike
Bring your vision and restore a piece of Long Green Valley history! For history enthusiasts, preservation-minded buyers, and anyone drawn to a home with a story, this circa 1898 property presents a rare opportunity. Known locally as the original Ady Hotel and later as the Tavern in Long Green, it recalls the inns and taverns that served travelers along the former Baltimore and Harford Turnpike. The building is recognized as a contributing property in the Long Green Valley Historic District. The Ady name also appears in Maryland’s political history: William M. Ady represented Harford County in the Maryland House of Delegates in 1870.
Set on a 1.57-acre corner lot, the home offers approximately 3,496 finished square feet with four bedrooms, two full baths, and one half bath. The long covered front porch stretches along the home, with turned columns, hanging lanterns, and mature greenery creating a welcoming place to pause and take in the Long Green Valley setting. It is easy to imagine the porch as the hotel’s gathering place, where travelers were welcomed, neighbors exchanged news, and guests lingered before continuing along Long Green Pike. Today, the porch still invites that same sense of arrival and connection to the property’s past. Inside, generous rooms allow for a variety of layouts, while hardwood floors, original moldings, built-ins, multiple fireplaces, and dual staircases reflect its historic character. Custom curved cherry cabinetry and stainless steel appliances add a distinctive touch to the kitchen.
A large front porch, deck, and patio offer places to enjoy the countryside setting. The additional yard space holds possibilities for gardens, recreation, or other uses, subject to Baltimore County requirements. A barn and additional outbuildings add to the property’s appeal, with farmland, scenic views, and nearby Boordy and DeJon Vineyards completing the setting.
The home requires renovation and currently does not have a permanent whole-house heat source. A newer Mitsubishi mini-split is present, leaving the next owner to select a heating solution as part of their plans. Buyers should confirm the suitability and cost of proposed improvements, permitted uses, and financing requirements with the appropriate professionals. For someone ready to preserve its character and shape its future, the Ady property offers room to imagine what comes next.
