101 Woodlawn Highway, Baltimore.
Hot Home: Basic Roland Park shingle property Architect-owned and up to date with
6 bedrooms/5 loos and a massive porch. 3,935 sq. feet. Asking cost: $895,000.
What: When you consider of common Roland Park residences, they normally have cedar shake
shingles, a slate roof, a good porch and exquisite particulars. This residence on Woodlawn
Highway has all that, in addition a sympathetic update by the existing operator, a single of Baltimore’s
renown architects. For the owners, the renovation was about erasing the 50 decades
that the residence had been a 3-unit rental and returning the house’s original
integrity.
As you tactic the dwelling, you first see the huge L-formed front porch, with its
beadboard ceiling and the graceful arches which are echoed through the property. As
you enter the property, you are welcomed by a tiny vestibule with an arched doorway
and a coat closet! You then shift into the mild-stuffed entry hall with gorgeous authentic
hardwood floors and a staircase with a window seat, best for curling up and
looking at. The staircase also functions special wood urns on several of the newel
posts.
A significant living home with a wooden-burning fireplace, substantial windows and designed-in lighted
bookcases is to your left. To your ideal is a official dining home with the original
pocket doors, as very well as doorways top to the rear deck.
To the rear of the dwelling is an current kitchen area which characteristics Asko, Sub-Zero and
Wolf appliances as nicely as a great middle island and a breakfast nook. As with
lots of of these Roland Park properties, there is a total pantry off of the kitchen, which the
owners neatly held intact through the renovation. The kitchen area opens to a deck which
overlooks the spacious backyard with a tailor made treehouse and parking pad.
As you shift upstairs, you will see the principal suite with a wander-in closet and an en-
suite toilet featuring a steam shower. There are two additional bedrooms, as nicely as a
den/home office environment/study and a not long ago renovated lavatory on the second flooring. On
the 3rd flooring, there are three more bedrooms, including 1 which retains the
initial tub, and a different with a shower.
The basement is partially concluded with a significant storage closet for out-of-season goods.
Despite the fact that the listing mentions a person-cave for the basement, I am at present boycotting
that term, so will not mention it. The basement opens onto the back again lawn.
Where by: This household is found on the south finish of Roland Park, hassle-free to Overlook
Shirley’s, Pekara European Bakery and of course, Alonso’s! It’s just a hop down Chilly
Spring Lane to the JFX, and up Roland to Eddie’s, the Pratt Library and various
colleges.
Remaining Appraisal: With so lots of of the attractive Roland Park houses getting absolutely
gutted and the first facts staying torn out for the latest stylish issue, it is so
refreshing to see a sympathetic renovation that has held a lot of of the particulars that
make these houses so distinctive, and which stand the check of time. The listing for the
house is listed here.
