• Remarks Public: This charming French-style home, lovingly landscaped and situated just a few properties away from the beautiful Homeland lakes, is set back by an expansive front lawn, and slightly elevated from the road. A lovely covered stone porch beckons you into the Foyer with coat closet and convenient Half Bath. The steel casement windows and the arched doorways within exude European architectural sensibility. The Kitchen has been remodeled by the noteworthy Baltimore architect Rebecca Swanston in accordance with Maryland Historic Preservation. Clever utilization of what was originally single-car garage space has enabled practical expansion to include a shed, a Mud Room and the casual Kitchen dining area which easily seats 8. Ample cabinetry is balanced with an open, airy aesthetic. Rounding out the current remodel vibe are granite countertops, stainless appliances (Fisher & Paykel double dishdrawer dishwasher, Jenn-Air cooktop, and KitchenAid refrigerator), wood floor, varied lighting (recessed, under-the-counter and pendant) and multiple gorgeous casement windows. Additional living spaces on the first floor include the sunny, comfy Living Room with wood burning fireplace, built-ins and the exit to the 20' x 10' awning-covered flagstone Patio for alfresco dining, and to the lofty Family Room/Library which was added by previous owners and boasts multiple built-ins. Each of these rooms has a rather Mediterranean flavor reflected in high ceilings (vaulted in the Family Room), window style, arches and white plaster walls, as well as excellent flow for entertaining. The formal Dining Room with corner cupboard can comfortably seat 12, or for a more casual setting, opt for the Kitchen. Upstairs (note newly refinished wood stairs/floors), the main Bedroom has its own private Bath which has been improved; Bedrooms 2 and 3 share their own Bath with what appears to be lovely original tile. The third floor with Full Bath and plenty of Attic storage is a great getaway space. The multi-room Basement has plenty of laundry space, storage, office or play space if desired, and is partially improved. Its construction includes stone and multiple steel beams. Here one can see the hollowed clay tile construction of the house as well as the French drain water-managing system plus sump pump, and copper pipes at the Burnham boiler. Regarding heating/cooling, the heat pump supplies heating and cooling to the first floor. Levels 1-3 are radiator heated. The back yard is partially fenced and has been recently used for soft, enclosed play space. The ample parking pad enables direct access to the Mud Room for hanging up coats, hats and handbags, and to the Kitchen for grocery sorting. Note the well-maintained slate and copper roofing materials. Truly stewards of the property, the current owners have brought their home forward over the past 51 years both responsibly and tastefully: the home exudes warmth and welcome. These qualities, together with its exceedingly desirable location in one of North Baltimore City's most beautiful communities, close to every amenity imaginable, make it a genuinely exciting opportunity for its next owner!
