Known as Four Winds, this Ruxton home exudes traditional charm with all the luxuries of modern living. The stucco and slate roof home sits on nearly 2 1/2 beautiful acres, and includes a secluded in-ground pool.

The home was built in 1920, and has lots of charm, including the entry foyer with a graceful staircase. Gleaming dark hardwood floors continue throughout the home. A generously sized living room sits across the hall from the formal dining room, both with charming wood-burning fireplaces. There’s also a bright sunroom and private library, both of which have French doors to outside.

An open eat-in kitchen and family room provides a relaxed central gathering space. The bright kitchen has a center island, a well-equipped butler’s pantry, and full-height cabinets. The layout is ideal for entertaining, with an adjacent family room and direct access to the deck.

Upstairs, there are two floors of bedrooms and bathrooms. Four bedrooms are on the second level, including a primary suite. The large bedroom has a wood-burning fireplace, hall with two walk-in closets, and a serene marble bath. Two more bedrooms are on the third floor, as well as a walk-in cedar closet and storage.

The lower level contains a recreation room and workshop.

Outside, a bluestone patio off the living room and sunroom and a mahogany deck off the family room offer two attractive spaces to relax, dine al fresco and entertain. A winding stone path leads to a beautiful in-ground pool. Old growth trees dot the property, creating lush, private surroundings. A two-car garage is tucked away under the deck, with a large drive.

Enjoy convenient access to Ruxton shops, Green Spring Station and Lake Roland. I-83 is also nearby, meaning you can easily get downtown in about 15 minutes.
