Built circa 1880 on one of the county’s most sought-after streets, this 5.7-acre estate is a short stroll from Lake Roland. The level of extraordinary detailing and craftsmanship by renowned architect Joseph Evans Sperry (who also designed the iconic Bromo Seltzer tower) is evident in the solid granite construction and beautifully ornamented detail throughout the home.

This extraordinary estate features seven bedrooms, six-and-a-half baths, 11 fireplaces, superb built-ins and millwork and a dramatic 3-story staircase.

The second level also enjoys two additional bedrooms (one with a dressing room), each en-suite. The third level includes an office/study, four bedrooms (one with a sitting room), two baths and storage. A catering kitchen and laundry can be found in the lower level. State-of-the-art systems throughout the home.

Wonderful outdoor living spaces include the 13-foot-deep wraparound porch, bluestone patio, gardens, historic outbuildings and an oversized 4-car garage.
