Unique features: This 1914 stucco home is in one of the most coveted neighborhoods in Baltimore, located just across the street from Sherwood Gardens, with its 6 acres of greenery and floral displays.
Like other stately homes on the surrounding streets, this century-old residence complements the gardens with a large and beautifully landscaped yard that can be enjoyed from the long, covered side porch. The new owners may feel positively papal as they step onto the second-floor wrought-iron balcony above the entranceway that overlooks the front yard. A large brick patio and outdoor kitchen are ideal for warm-weather entertaining, while golfers can fine-tune their technique on the in-yard putting green.
This home also makes the most of the natural light with multiple floor-to-ceiling Palladian windows in the living and dining rooms. In addition, this 110-year-old home is full of elegant, early 20th-century features including hardwood floors, ceiling moldings, wainscoting, a statement-making hallway staircase and two marble fireplaces.
And while the crystal Waterford chandelier is the undoubted showstopper, the new owners won’t want to overlook original brass sconces that held candles in the era before electrical lights became widespread.
The kitchen is fully modernized, with quartzite countertops and a central island equipped with a second sink. Stainless steel appliances are incorporated into the white kitchen cabinets.
The basement has a finished recreation room that could easily be adapted for a home movie theater or gym, plus a workshop.
