1740 Circle Rd, Towson, MD 21204

Rare opportunity to purchase Cedar Top - one of the original homes in the heart of Ruxton. This is one of the largest properties in Ruxton, total 4.04 acres, with possible subdivision rights. The driveway connects 2 existing houses - 1919 Ruxton Road and 1740 Circle Road both on the same parcel of land. The main house (1919 Ruxton Road) is 5,419 sq. ft. It was built in 1896 as a summer home and was expanded in the 1920s to become a full-time residence. The main house includes an elevator with mahogany paneling and a dumbwaiter. Most of the home's original features still remain including claw foot bathtubs, vintage light fixtures, transom windows, bas relief sculptures above 2 of the 9 fireplaces, and extensive built-in bookcases. The main house is ideal for entertaining, with a living room, a library, a dining room, a sunroom, a large kitchen/family room with an open floor plan, and a slate terrace. The main house also has a beautiful sleeping porch, 2 staircases, 5 bedrooms, 5 full baths and 2 half baths. The gardens boast several Maryland Champion trees, and the swimming pool is 10 feet deep. A lovely 1,414 sq. ft. guest cottage (1740 Circle Road) has 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths, and it could be used as a home office or an in law suite. Truly a one-of-a-kind property, with only two owners since 1896. By appointment only.
