This is a rare opportunity to own an historic gem with timeless elegance and a sense of enduring legacy. Step into a piece of history with this magnificent 1888 home, which predates the establishment of Baltimore's esteemed Roland Park.<br />
<br />
As you enter through the lush privacy hedge and double iron gate, you are welcomed by a large wrap-around front porch that sets an ambience of sophistication and charm. Entering into a grand foyer, the beautifully refinished floors open to two spacious living rooms and a formal dining room, each with original pocket doors. These spaces flow gracefully and are filled with abundant natural light from expansive windows and high ceilings. A gorgeous solarium with full-size picture windows and generous built-in cabinetry offers a space for a reading room or an office and is discreetly positioned for privacy and inspiration.<br />
<br />
The elusive blend of form and function comes to life in the large, renovated eat-in kitchen which is adjacent to a versatile, large room with a full bath that serves equally well as either a family room or an entry level bedroom. <br />
<br />
The second floor hosts a primary suite with both sitting and dressing rooms, an en-suite bath, and generous closet space, complemented by leaded glass windows and a beautiful window seat. Another large bedroom with an en-suite bath centers the second floor and two additional charming bedrooms with a third full bath anchor the back.<br />
<br />
The third floor is a magical surprise, boasting a dreamy, sun-drenched large bedroom, an additional bedroom, full bath, dressing room, and a substantial attic, adding to the home’s allure. <br />
<br />
Outdoors, the grounds and spacious lawns are equally enchanting, offering a perfect setting for social events or serene afternoons, with the grand backyard and quaint carriage houses recalling days gone by. Imagine a garden party under the shade of specimen trees, cocktails or a full seated dinner on the gracious porch, or a child’s birthday or school party spilling across the multiple lawns. Estate-sized maple, rhododendron, azalea, boxwood, magnolia, holly, and Norway spruces anchor this one-of-a-kind property.<br />
