The Painted Lady, built in 1891, is truly one of a kind and an iconic part of Ocean City's historic charm. This stunning Victorian single-family home, also known as The Thomas S.

The main home features 6 bedrooms, including a beautiful primary suite, and 3.5 baths. A spacious, cozy wraparound front porch — one of the finest in Ocean City — welcomes you into a formal entry showcasing the home's exquisite vintage craftsmanship, including extensive woodwork, original fixtures, a grand staircase, hardwood floors, glass doorknobs, and classic switch plates. The interior is tastefully appointed with a blend of historic charm and modern comfort, featuring an updated eat-in kitchen with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, a large center island, formal dining room, elegant parlor with piano, office, and beautifully remodeled baths with custom tile, elevated granite-top vanities, and glass-enclosed showers. Additional highlights include gas hot water baseboard heat, all-new electric, a tankless water heater, newer windows, and more. One of the property's rarest features is the large, shaded outdoor entertaining area complete with a paved patio perfect for barbecuing, dining, and relaxing, along with a 2-car paver driveway and enclosed outdoor shower.
