About This Home

As of May 2020

Stylish luxury custom home on nearly one acre offers exquisite mill work, 10 & 12 ft ceilings, and solid hardwood floors - some with walnut inlay. Remarkable Brazilian walnut front porch leads to light-filled foyer with tumbled marble flooring connecting to formal rooms with wood burning fireplaces. Spacious family room with third fireplace opens to handsome kitchen with 5-burner gas range, lux appliances plus large breakfast room adjacent to mud room and one of two half-baths. Gallery hallway leads to study and gracious main level master bedroom suite with tray ceiling and ambient lighting, two walk-in closets, large bath with soaking tub and shower, and access to outdoor hot tub. French doors open to beautiful rear grounds from all rear-facing rooms and a recently constructed covered terrace perfect for alfresco dining. Garden walkways constructed of cobblestone from historic Gay Street; brick breezeway leads to 3-car garage. Owners have captured the once unfinished third level and created a spacious 44 ft x 24 ft studio for fitness, homework, and play. 1672 sq ft quasi-finished basement with rough-in for bath offers space for billiards, abundant storage and possibilities for bonus rooms or wine collection. Convenient Riderwood/Ruxton location just minutes to I-83, 695 beltway, schools, healthcare, gourmet grocery, boutique shops, delis, restaurants - and quick commute to Baltimore's vibrant Inner Harbor.
