Property Description
Set well back from West Joppa Road behind mature trees, deep landscaping, and fencing, this 1901 Ruxton home offers a quiet, private setting that deserves to be experienced in person. The approximately 26,000-square-foot property is fenced around its perimeter, with driveway access around the corner on Bellona Avenue. A spacious driveway accommodates multiple vehicles, complemented by a side carport for one car and an installed EV charger. The substantially rebuilt wraparound porch makes outdoor living part of the everyday routine. Three French-door entrancestwo from the main living room and one from the dining roomconnect the house to this generous gathering space. The sellers raised three children here, enjoying the large yards room to run, play, and explore. A wooden patio welcomes outdoor dining, while original exterior stone stairs, hardscaped steps, and rear walkways connect the grounds. An original wooden shed with a slate roof adds useful storage and distinctive character. Inside, four original fireplaces, original wood floors, crown molding, and wooden staircases and railings extending through the second and third floors preserve the homes craftsmanship. Original wood siding on the first floor, fish-scale shingle gables, and triple-hung windows carry that character outside. Separate living and dining rooms provide generous entertaining spaces, and a built-in bar concealed behind mirrored cabinet doors adds an unexpected touch to the family room. A skylight brings natural light into the updated kitchen, which features an oversized island, gourmet gas range, custom hood, and pantry behind a sliding barn door. A second skylight brightens the first-floor side room, offering an inviting space for an office or retreat. The first-floor bathroom has also been updated, and new flooring freshens the rear mudroom. Upstairs, the primary suite includes an updated private bath, and the additional second-floor bathroom has also been updated. Four more bedrooms span the upper floors, including bright third-floor spaces with dormered ceilings and built-in storage. Fresh interior and exterior paint, new insulation, substantial porch work, and maintained roofing complement the kitchen and bathroom improvements. Located in the Riderwood Elementary, Dumbarton Middle, and Towson High School Law & Public Policy attendance zone, with convenient access to Towson and downtown Baltimore. Enter from Bellona Avenue, take a seat on the porch, and discover how quiet and private this corner of Ruxton feels.
