About this home
Set on nearly 3.5 private acres in the heart of Ruxton, this 1913 Colonial Revival is one of the most architecturally significant residences in Baltimore County, a place where turn-of-the-century craftsmanship and thoughtful, modern curation exist in rare and genuine harmony.
From the moment you arrive, the wraparound porch sets the tone inviting you to take in the rolling grounds, the stone gazebo, and the lightly wooded perimeter that creates a sense of seclusion you simply cannot manufacture. Beyond the front door, with its original glass sidelights and transom, the foyer opens to a curved staircase detailed with carved scroll and rose stringer work, a paneled staircase wall, and an antique chandelier sourced from Savannah.
The principal rooms are defined by their original double pocket doors with intact pocket covers, a detail so rarely maintained it speaks volumes about the care this residence has received. The living room features a Carrara marble fireplace surround, a bay window with built-in window seat and storage, and crown and picture molding that frames every view with intention. The dining room mirrors this elegance, with its own fireplace, bay window, and built-in seating. Both rooms flow with the kind of proportion that modern construction simply does not replicate.
The kitchen is where preservation meets performance. Anchored by a Wolf commercial six-burner gas range with double ovens, griddle, and brass pot filler, and flanked by a 48-inch SubZero PRO series refrigerator and a cabinet-paneled Scotsman ice-maker, this space was designed for those who cook seriously and entertain intentionally. Calacatta marble countertops, a Shaws Original cast iron farmhouse sink, custom Lyndon Heath solid maple cabinetry, and a custom-designed stainless steel and brass vent hood complete a kitchen that is as considered in its details as it is capable in its function. The adjacent family and breakfast room, finished in reclaimed heart pine floors with a raised brick wood-burning fireplace, offers the warmth and ease that balances the kitchen's precision.
The pantry, mudroom, and primary suite dressing room each feature handcrafted, floor-to-ceiling custom cabinetry by a Pennsylvania Amish woodworker. These are not afterthoughts. They are among the most beautifully executed spaces in the home, transforming every utilitarian function into an experience.
The primary suite occupies its own world on the second floor. The bedroom features a built-in window seat, a bed alcove flanked by built-in shelves, blackout shades, and drapes that ensure genuine rest. The dressing room, with its handcrafted wardrobe system and custom glass shelf display, connects to a walk-in closet with a full organizing system. The primary bath is finished in honed Carrara tile with an Imperium octagon and black dot Carrara mosaic floor, a seamless glass shower, a Restoration Hardware dual-sink vanity, and a customized built-in boudoir. Three additional bedrooms and two renovated baths complete the second floor, along with a dedicated laundry room.
The third floor offers something increasingly difficult to find in any home at any price: genuine flexibility. A large gathering space, two additional bedrooms, and a full bath create a self-contained suite that adapts to whatever your life requires, whether that is space for extended family, a live-in au pair, or simply the freedom of a dedicated creative or guest floor.
Outside, the bluestone patio with its al fresco fireplace and inground pool creates an environment for gathering that feels both intentional and effortless. The connecting lighted breezeway between the main house and the detached two-car garage keeps arrival and departure comfortable in every season. With an additional eight-car driveway, hosting is never a logistical concern.
This residence does not ask you to compromise. It asks you to recognize something genuinely uncommon when you are standing in front of it....
