The childhood home of Denton native Sophie Kerr, a well-known 29th century author, is on the market. The circa 1860 farm house, which sits on 2.42 acres on the corner of 5th and Kerr Avenues, is listed for $335,000, $12,400 less than the property’s assessed value according to the Maryland Department of Assessments and Taxation. With 3,658 square feet of space, the house boasts six bedrooms, four full baths, a wood burning fireplace and original features such as a copper-lined wooden bathtub that extends the length of the room into which it is built and with an old-time hand pump.

Current owner Dyson Kline bought the property 16 years ago with his wife, Mary Jo, knowing little about Kerr or the house’s history. During his time in the house, Kline has carried on the horticulture tradition by planting more trees, shrubbery and flowers. The yard also houses one of the property’s original barns, which has the antiquated wooden pegs that were once popular.
