NOW PRICED BELOW MARKET FOR THIS LOVELY HOME. COME FALL IN LOVE. Welcome to this exquisite all-brick Georgian masterpiece designed in 1925 by renowned Baltimore architect Laurence Hall Fowler. Ideally located just two blocks from Sherwood Gardens and close to Johns Hopkins University, Loyola, and several vibrant cafes and restaurants, this home offers a perfect blend of historic elegance and modern luxury. Classic architectural proportions meet grand scale: 12-foot ceilings grace the stunning Great Room, while 9-foot ceilings span the remainder of the home. With five generous bedrooms, three and a half baths, and six fireplaces (including an outdoor fireplace), this stately home is both spacious and welcoming. Since purchasing the home, the sellers replaced all roofing with new slate, repointed the all- brick exterior and renovated much of the interior. You’re greeted by a dramatic foyer with curved walls, built-ins, and an elegant sweeping staircase that sets the tone for what’s to come. A convenient powder room and coat closet are also tucked just off the entry. The expansive living room features floor-to-ceiling windows and French doors that open to a peaceful, closed-in backyard oasis. Additional French doors lead to a formal dining room, and a third set opens into the showstopping Great Room (16.3 ft. x 28 ft.), ideal for entertaining or relaxing in style. The updated Chef’s kitchen seamlessly integrates modern convenience with timeless style—Subzero and Viking appliances, three sinks with disposals, three high-end dishwashers, an updated pantry, and more. Recent updates throughout the home—like gleaming hardwood floors, a reimagined third floor, and a spacious, finished lower-level fitness room (13 ft. x24.2 ft.)—preserve its original character while elevating everyday living. Modern amenities include: multi-zone central air (including Space-Pak for upper floors), basement waterproofing with French drain system and two sump pumps, 75-gallon water heater, and an integrated indoor/outdoor SONOS sound system with individual zone controls. The garden transforms beautifully with each season, offering serene privacy—truly a retreat from the outside world. This is your chance to own a piece of Baltimore’s architectural legacy with all the comforts of today. Schedule your private tour and experience this remarkable home for yourself!
