The turret catches your eye. The wraparound porch makes you picture a slower morning. But there’s plenty to see inside, too.

Take a walk through 4601 South Polling House Road in Harwood—a nineteenth-century Victorian on 4.35 acres, with wood floors, detailed moldings, built-ins, and fireplace mantels that give the house its character.

The kitchen has an island, room for a table, and a butler’s pantry. Three levels offer space to spread out, while mature trees and established plantings frame the house outside.

There is still work to be done here, and buyers should plan for further improvements. For someone who loves older homes and is ready to take on that work, this one deserves a closer look.

5 bedrooms | 4 full bathrooms
3,088 finished square feet | 4.35 acres

The turret gets your attention. The rest is worth a closer look.

At 4601 S Polling House Rd, a wraparound porch, bay windows, and decorative trim introduce a nineteenth-century Victorian set on 4.35 acres in Harwood.

Inside: wood floors, detailed moldings, built-ins, and fireplace mantels. Five bedrooms, four full baths, and 3,088 square feet of finished living space give the house room for everyday life, too.

There is still work to be done. This is a home for someone who appreciates its character and is ready to take on the improvements that come next—not a finished renovation being presented as one.

4601 S Polling House Rd • Harwood, Maryland
Offered at $989,000.

The market isn’t slow. It’s selective.

Vacation season is in full effect. Maryland real estate, however, is not operating on one summer clock.

Our Q2 2026 market reports are now live for Greater Annapolis, Greater Baltimore, the Eastern Shore, and Southern Maryland—and the most useful takeaway is not that the market is universally hot or universally slow.

It has divided into different speeds.

In Greater Annapolis, the reported market time was:

24 days overall
6 days for luxury
9 days for waterfront

Nationally, luxury housing is also separating from the broader market. But “luxury is stronger” is still too blunt an explanation.

The properties moving quickly tend to share something more important than a price threshold: they are difficult to replace.

The right setting.
The right condition.
The right lifestyle.
Few credible substitutes.

Meanwhile, buyers are gaining time and leverage where inventory is more interchangeable or the pricing assumes urgency the property has not earned.

Our latest Housecats issue explores that split, why luxury is running its own race, what Annapolis is enduring during City Dock’s messy middle, and why Dinner Under the Stars remains such a good expression of the city people are ultimately buying into.

What are you seeing in your own neighborhood: more patience, more urgency, or somehow both?

100 Carroll Drive is now under contract—an encouraging signal for Hillsmere Shores. With its fully remodeled layout, flexible indoor-outdoor living, and access to one of Annapolis’ most sought-after waterfront communities, this home reflects what buyers are responding to right now: updated condition, everyday functionality, and lifestyle-driven location.

From the marina, beach, and kayak launches to Quiet Waters Park access and proximity to Key School, Hillsmere Shores continues to stand out for buyers looking for more than just a house. If you’ve been wondering how neighborhood demand is translating to value, this is a strong data point.

We are proud to represent these great buyers that are moving to be closer to the kids, grandkids and everything the the Annapolitan lifestyle offers.
