Ruxton has some of the area’s most beautiful homes, but this one stands out for its classic charm, historic features and high-quality updates. Every space in this four-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bath home has been thoughtfully designed and lovingly cared for. Now, for the first time in decades, this 1918 house is ready to be enjoyed by a new owner.

The home opens to a gracious foyer with an impressive main staircase. Hardwood wood floors shine throughout the main living spaces. An elegant living room features a fireplace and multiple sets of French doors leading to the front porch. A formal dining room is similarly appointed. Also on the main level, enjoy a comfortable library, accented by rich wood built-ins and a cozy fireplace.

The kitchen looks like it was plucked straight out of a design magazine. There are marble countertops and a backsplash, beautiful cabinetry and top-of-the-line appliances, including a striking Lacanche range. If that isn’t enough, there’s also incredible storage, including a well-equipped butler’s pantry, a second walk-in pantry, and a gallery hall with a custom beverage center. The kitchen is adjacent to a sunny breakfast area and another relaxed sitting room, creating one large gathering space.

Upstairs, the private quarters are just as special as the public spaces below. The primary suite takes over one whole wing of the house. It starts with a spacious bedroom that has another of the home’s many fireplaces. There are two separate bathrooms attached to this space, each with its own dressing room/walk-in closet. You won’t find a primary bedroom like this in many homes.

Two additional generously sized bedrooms on this level offer attached sitting rooms. A home office completes the upstairs. The lower level contains a recreation room, bedroom, another full bathroom, and storage space.

The home is set on one and a half lush acres, offering lots of green space and privacy. There are mature trees across the property and mature landscaping. At the front of the house, a large covered porch provides the perfect place to relax. A bluestone terrace at the back of the house overlooks a pool.

There’s also a sweeping drive and a detached three-car garage.

Despite the home’s quiet locale, it’s just minutes to Ruxton shops, Lake Roland, and area schools. It also offers easy access to I-83, meaning you can get downtown in about 20 minutes.
