    What's special

    I can't even imagine how many people have walked past this house over the years and thought to themselves, “That’s my dream home.” But the years turned into decades and then a century went by and for 110 years, 4406 Norwood faithfully sheltered the same family. Now, for the first time ever, she’s ready to welcome new stewards into her story. Lovers of historic homes, old bones, lush gardens, and towering trees, this one’s for you... Constructed by renowned architects Palmer & Lamdin in 1915, this extraordinary home sits on a rare double lot—nearly half an acre of mature landscaping—just one block from Baltimore’s beloved Sherwood Gardens. With 5–6 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and nearly 4,000 square feet of beautifully preserved architecture, it offers a level of craftsmanship that can’t be replicated today. Even among other Palmer & Lamdin homes, this one is truly special. Its charming blue cottage-style façade offers unmatched curb appeal on one of Guilford’s most picturesque tree-lined streets. Beyond blooming gardens and century-old oaks, a gracious entryway welcomes you into a space filled with original details—rich hardwood floors, soaring ceilings, custom millwork, and warm, timeless character throughout. Inside, a traditional center hall layout offers gracious flow. To the left, a grand formal living room stretches across the front of the home, anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and flanked by custom built-ins. Dual sets of French doors open to a tranquil screened porch overlooking the lush rear garden—perfect for morning coffee or evening cocktails. On the right, a formal dining room with antique wallpaper (that's so out, it's back in) and an original imported Irish crystal chandelier provides an elegant space for holiday dinners or celebrations. Just beyond, the kitchen is a retro time capsule—full of nostalgic charm and ready for your dream renovation, with a spacious and functional layout that offers endless potential. The second floor, accessible by both the main and back staircases, features three large bedrooms, two full baths, and a fourth flex room—perfect as a nursery, office, or walk-in closet to create a luxurious primary suite. The layout is functional yet versatile, with great potential for customization. One more flight up, and you'll find two additional bedrooms and a central bath. These top-floor rooms brim with charm thanks to classic dormers and rare eyebrow windows—architectural touches that add both character and light. Outside, the .4-acre lot feels like a private garden sanctuary. Carefully cultivated by generations of passionate gardeners, the grounds offer winding paths, perennial blooms, and mature shade trees—a peaceful retreat that evolves with the seasons. While original details have been lovingly preserved, thoughtful updates have also been made. Recent improvements include a full exterior painting, maintained slate roof, new water heater, updated gas boiler, and a waterproofed basement with French drains and dual sump pumps—ensuring peace of mind. Located just a block from Sherwood Gardens yet tucked away on a serene street, this home offers rare privacy but with a strong sense of community. Guilford is home to multiple neighborhood parks and hosts year-round events like the Tulip Dig, Halloween Parade, outdoor movie nights, and more. The location also offers ideal proximity to top-rated schools, including Calvert School (just a 5-minute drive or 15-minute walk), Johns Hopkins University, Loyola, and Union Memorial Hospital. You're also minutes from the Rotunda, Hampden’s award-winning restaurants, farmers markets, and nearby walkable neighborhoods like Charles Village and "Alonsoville." Don't give up your love of city life for a detached home and a yard in the county: you can have it all here in historic Guilford. This is more than a house on the market, it’s a once-in-a-century opportunity. But don't take it from me, come see for yourself!
