Property Description

As one of Roland Park’s original Grand Victorian’s ever to be built, this classic Charles Barber-inspired home comes with an intriguingly rich history. One of the first dozen homes to be built in Roland Park, and once owned by one of the first original investors in the Roland Park Co., which developed Roland Park, this revitalized and re-envisioned home now features six bedrooms, five full, and two half baths. The home spans over 8,500 square feet and is still hallmarked by many of its original features, from the ornate woodwork and herringbone wood floors throughout to the intricately designed tiffany stained-glass windows, seven original fireplaces still stand, many with their ornate mantles, as well as multiple pocket doors can be found throughout the main level with original hardware. This rich history has been artfully restored to now include classic and modern updating. The main floor boasts an open chef’s kitchen with professional stainless-steel appliances, a spacious pantry, white cabinetry, and a classic white subway tile backsplash. This space is combined with a versatile living and entertaining area with a wet bar, built-ins, and a half bath, all centered around a sprawling double-sided center gas fireplace.
