Historic Bellevue c.1840

Follow the winding drive beneath a canopy of mature trees and pass through the gated entry to arrive at Bellevue, one of only three surviving Tidewater-style Greek Revival residences in Prince George’s County. Built circa 1840 and individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this remarkable estate offers 10+ private acres — the historic 5.10-acre home site plus three additional wooded buffer parcels that ensure lasting privacy, seclusion, and an unbroken connection to nature.

The main house retains its original freestanding brick chimneys and a contemporary kitchen occupies the earliest section, blending 19th-century architectural integrity with modern comforts. A grand entry hall and twin parlors offer flexible living space, while two separate guest houses provide exceptional options for visiting family, a studio, or income potential — rare flexibility for a property of this historic caliber.
Beyond the house, Bellevue is a true gardener’s paradise. Sweeping open meadow gives way to established, mature gardens and landscaped patios, framed by mature woodland and a natural stream corridor that feeds into the Mattawoman Creek watershed. Winding garden paths, native plantings, and decades of thoughtful cultivation make this a rare canvas for anyone who dreams in bloom.

History runs deep here — Bellevue was listed on the National Register in 1986 (NRHP #86001738 / MHT NR-962), and the surrounding land carries a story of preservation and stewardship. Minutes from Piscataway Park, Marshall Hall, and the Potomac River’s storied cultural landscape, yet within easy reach of National Harbor, Washington, D.C., and Old Town Alexandria — Bellevue offers the rare chance to own a piece of Maryland history, wrapped in privacy, gardens, and grace.
