Fall in love with this architectural gem located in the heart of Roland Park, situated on a premiere lot enjoying exceptional outdoor space. Understated elegance describes this comfortable home with generous sized rooms and plenty of living space at just under 5000 sq ft. Enter the grand 2 story center foyer with high ceilings, a stunning staircase, hardwood floors with inlay borders and original moldings. Large formal living room and dining room flank the foyer, both with fireplaces. The rooms' oversized windows provide plenty of natural light and comfortable space for family and entertaining. The sunroom off of the living room also has a fireplace and exits to the rear yard. A sun-filled room with 3 walls of windows is a favorite spot for the sellers. Large enough for more than one purpose. Functions now as a family room, office, and playroom. Large eat-in kitchen with white cabinets, granite counters, free standing gas range and custom tile work. Butler's pantry with original wood cabinetry and farmhouse sink adds more character and storage to the kitchen and dining room. Cozy and very functional family room off kitchen with built-ins, mudroom from back door and one of the two powder rooms on the main floor. Generous sized second floor landing with Primary Bedroom Suite on one side of the upstairs landing: all other bedrooms on the opposite wing of the house. The Primary Bedroom Suite has a fireplace and includes a sitting room, 2 closet rooms, and the primary bath. The 2nd floor has 4 additional bedrooms, a den or office, 2 full baths, and a 2nd floor laundry room. The finished lower level has a gym or family room, powder room, huge storage room and an additional laundry room. Detached 2 car garage with rough-in plumbing, electric and huge loft area just waiting to be finished as a studio, home office, or he-she shed. Professional landscaping frames the flat fenced-in yard with a patio, an arbor with a climbing trumpet vine and perennials that offer year-round color. The house has been very well cared for with all major systems updated. A dream home that could only be found in Baltimore's desirable historic Roland Park neighborhood. The walkability to restaurants, library, shopping, schools and historic footpaths and community pool create a sense of community hard to duplicate anywhere else in Baltimore.
