About the host
Hosted by Laurie Zook
Hi. I've lived in this house since 2000. I have transformed it into an innovative, comfortable space to share, and have been renting, with short to mid-term guests since 2006. I am a super-host on Airbnb and recently joined VRBO. I own Estatemax.net one of the DC metro's premiere estate sale companies. We are BBB Accredited, an Angi's Super Service Award Earning company for many years. The house is on a course for a long term transformation to develop into space for affordable housing for senior artists and creatives.

Why they chose this property
This side 9f the historic district is set away from hustle and bustle,but not too far away, allowing quiet nights, privacy at the picnic area and garden spaces. On site parking is a rarity downtown, we provide one space in the lot and numerous on street unmetered. The neighborhood flanks Carroll Creek Linear Park, all of the downtown historic and arts district. The Francis Scott Key cemetery is 2 blocks west, MD School of the Deaf is across S. Carroll St from the house, the Revolutionary War Hessian Barracks sits on their campus. My property was a part of the original Frederick Brick Works and before that a tent grounds for soldiers during Revolution and Civil Wars. The new Frederick Book Arts Center is 1 block north, the Delaplaine Center for the Arts 2 blocks and the Frederick Visitor's Bureau and Greyhound station and MARC train station 2 blocks east. It is a central location, albeit on the quieter, south end of the city.
What makes this property unique
It is a shotgun style 1910 building of brick with a front porch swing, standing seam tin roof, with a storage garage on the north side and off street parking, a large vegetable garden in the back yard, herb and flower beds throughout the side and back yards. It is an oasis in the historic district.
