     In 1971, Dr. Landmesser rescued four houses on the Spa Creek end of Shaw St. in Murray Hill, ingeniously envisioning creating an intimate new community near Truxtun Park.
    The ingenuity came in when the houses were moved by barge across Spa Creek to a lovely track of old farm land that was home to a beautiful brick early 18^th c. manor, preserved and privately owned, with gardens and orchard surround. The Shaw St. house that had been Judge Michaelson’s family home never made it to the new site. It slipped off the barge and fell in, making front page big news of the day in The Evening Capitol.
    The remaining houses made a new village on Milkshake Lane, with the manor house centerpiece. Later, Dr. Landmesser built a very interesting post and beam home for himself, part of the new community. This property is close to all the amenities of Truxtun Park, docks, playgrounds, running, walking and nature trails. Tennis and swimming too! City bus service to downtown. Close to Aris T Allen Blvd, connecting to Baltimore and Washington commutes. Quite a nice little spot!
    The house at 6 Milkshake Lane is cottage perfect with old plaster walls, gleaming wood floors, oak on the first level and pine on the second. The attractive new kitchen has work island, wood cabinets and floor, nicely 
appointed with recent stainless appliances, gas cooking. Adjoining is a versatile room for family/dining- buyer choice.
    There is a foyer entrance to a large living room with wood burning fireplace. Off living room, a cheerful den. Large powder room. 
   The second level has a wonderful master bedroom, cedar lined closet, with new bath en suite. Two other bedrooms and recent bath complete the picture.
   The third level offers a large space for home office, playroom, and exercise area.
   The big surprise is the lower level with a nice kitchen and two rooms and bath. Storage and utility areas are separate.
   New gas boiler, gas hot heater, all new double pane windows, new gutters and downspouts, old slate roof, lots of closet. All mechanicals updated. Original wood shingle exterior.
   The garden has a shed, dollhouse, and various fun things for kids that convey with purchase. Big shade trees.         Milkshake Lane is a pleasant allée of trees and flowering shrubbery, a place truly apart in the downtown Annapolis scene.
