Price Improvement! Built in 1901 on a rare 26,000-square-foot lot in the heart of Ruxton, this five-bedroom, three-and-a-half bath "Century home" has a wraparound porch, fish-scale shingle gables, and triple-hung windows that define the era, without sacrificing how a family actually uses a home now. The foyer's original staircase and dark wood banister set the tone. Wide-plank floors and crown molding run through the formal living room and separate dining room, each with its own fireplace (three total). Behind a mirrored cabinet door in the family room sits a fully stocked bar, the kind of detail you don't expect until you find it. The kitchen, remodeled in 2019, has an oversized island, gourmet gas range, custom hood, and a sliding barn door to the pantry, open to the family space beyond. The primary suite occupies its own quiet corner of the second floor with an updated en-suite bath. Four more bedrooms are split across the second and third floors, including a bright third-floor space with dormered eaves and built-in storage, which is good for guests, kids, or a home office. Laundry and additional storage are in the basement. Recent work: roof (rubber and slate) maintained in 2025. HVAC split system and gutter guards updated, with major mechanical systems well-maintained throughout. The exterior and interior have been freshly painted, and the front porch refinished. Located on one of Ruxton's most desirable streets, with excellent schools nearby and easy access to downtown Baltimore.
