Distributions from a decedent's 401(k) are taxed to you as they would have been taxed to him -- as retirement. You add it to the rest of your taxable income. There shouldn't be a penalty on it, but regular income taxes on this amount will be high.
If you qualify for the first-time homebuyer credit, that would ease the pain somewhat.
I can't claim any expertise with Maryland state taxes, but a quick look suggests that your pension distribution will be taxable to the state, too, unless you are over 65. It might be worth your effort to consult a tax professional.
