6421 Alta Ave Baltimore, MD 21206

Love, History & charm is what it's all about. Looking for something unique to tout about to your friends & family? Well you have found your new home! There is so much to say about this home we could go on for days, but the history of the home is just as special as the home is. Back in the day this part of town was actually Baltimore County. The land was part of a large 60 acre (approx) farm, adjacent to many other large farms of the day. In 1912 Alta Land Company came in & developed the land. Many of the homes were not built until about the 1950s. But Captain Peter Quinlan, a prominent merchant, settled into the area & had the home built for his 2nd wife Anna (Jennie) & his daughter Maude (When living in Maine, May his first wife passed away when he was away at sea). The house is magnificent & built like no other in the area! You will note that the round nautical window in the upstairs bathroom & the one of a kind staircase leading to the floored attic area are all reminiscent of items you would see on a 20th century ship! While driving his car on Belair Road in 1921, Captain Quinlan had a heart attack & died. For the love of the man & of the home his wife Anna, his daughter, his stepchildren & their descendants kept the home in the family till it was sold in 1993. Now for the reasons you will "have to" have this home! When you pull up to the home you will love its uniqueness. It's gorgeous & grand! Check out the huge, beautiful lot. The owners have invested over $41K in a beautiful fence, patio, fire-pit area, & amazing composite deck. There is a 2 car garage with gorgeous new doors & overhead storage. The owners even added electric to the garage. Can't find parking where you live? NO worries here, wait till you see this enormous driveway & side yard. The house is so spacious with over 2,700 sq ft of fin space. There are so many unique touches throughout the home like all of the hard wood flooring, wood molding & trim work. Most rooms were professionally painted recently. & the 1st floor & 2nd floor both have 9' ceilings! The house boasts of a large kitchen w/plenty of cabinet space & counter top space. Even a center island. Updated SS Appliances, a gas stove & a new to die for refrigerator! There is not only a breakfast area, but then there is also a huge dining room, that will suit anyone's large dining rm furniture. The living room is large & lovely & even has built in bookshelves to showcase all of your special books, photos, art work, decorations... There is a 1st floor office space/bedroom for those that are now working from home & it has a full bathroom directly attached to it. Laundry room is also on the first floor. Upstairs you have 3 large bedrms & the owners added a master walk in closet/dressing area that is unbelievable - or you could convert back to a sitting area or maybe even a baby's room. Off of the master bedroom is a neat outdoor deck to sip your coffee on! The really cool feature off of one of the bedrooms is that large floored attic with a front window. It's every kids dream as a play room or use it for more storage! The finished low level has a rec room with fireplace, a bonus bedroom with closet & a window, & a full bathroom with tub/shower. Then in the rear of the lower level is storage space, a work shop area & a rear exit door. I saved for last one of my favorite features of the home. An enclosed front porch!
