5502 Lombardy Place

Welcome to 5502 Lombardy Place: a 1926 all brick Colonial on one of North Roland Park's quiet circles, under a slate roof, with a curved columned portico and a wrought iron balcony over the front door. Stately from the street and genuinely luxurious once you are through the door: arched fanlight, curving staircase, gleaming oak floors. The long living room adds a paneled mantel, dentil crown and a full wall of built-ins. Openings on both sides of the fireplace lead to the sunroom, wrapped in casement windows with a black and white marble checkerboard floor and painted brick walls. The kitchen was redone thoughtfully: marble herringbone tile to the ceiling, a black custom hood over the gas cooktop, wall oven and microwave, wine fridge and antiqued mirrored cabinet fronts, opening to a family room under a vaulted paneled ceiling with window seats in the octagonal bay and French doors to the deck. Upstairs, the primary suite has a tray ceiling, a paneled headboard wall with brass sconces and marble-topped built-in nightstands. Both second floor baths have heated floors, with a digital shower in the primary. Laundry on the bedroom level plus a second set in the basement. The third floor keeps its original heart pine floors and adds two more bedrooms and a full bath. Every water and drain line in the house has been replaced: no galvanized steel, all copper supply, and the cast iron drains taken out down to the basement. Out back, a flat fenced yard with a paver patio and a detached 2 car brick garage with its own slate roof and a Level 2 EV charger on a cord long enough to reach a car in the driveway with the door closed. Eddie's of Roland Park is minutes away, and the outdoor movie screen and projector stay, which makes the first crisp night of fall the easiest housewarming you will ever throw.
