About This Home
Zemlyn Porches, circa 1896. Originally named Nonsuch, this Victorian turn-of-the-century masterpiece was built by John A. Hambleton as a wedding gift for his daughter, Rebecca, and still stands today as one of Baltimore’s most iconic properties. Steeped in history and perched atop one of Lutherville’s highest points, this 8 acre hilltop estate lives like your very own private in-town retreat, just 2 miles from Greenspring Station. An unparalleled setting, complete with gorgeous pool, separate au-pair/in-law quarters, multi-level barn with indoor basketball court, spacious separate office, workshop, several outbuildings and your own historic water tower. Step inside and be transported. With an incredible line of sight, your eyes are immediately drawn to the sweeping treetop views out back. Timeless gray-veined Italian marble and soothing fountain welcome you as you enter the grand foyer. A history that’s palpable with four inch thick Mahogany doors, hand carved hardware and mantels, stunning leaded glass windows, intricate moldings and Parisian rock crystal chandeliers. Handsome billiards room with rich Bolivian Walnut Panels and lighted gun case takes you back in time. With soaring ceilings and magnificent bones, it’s no wonder this home was chosen as the BSO’s 5th showcase house in 1981. Well over 100 years old and yet a layout that easily suits today’s current lifestyle; a true testament to timeless architectural design. Cultivate the next chapter of your life here. Infuse with your artistic vision and energize with your aesthetic. Authentic architecture, unrivaled in its quality and artisanship. The ultimate combination of both privacy and convenience.
