Located in the quiet Stevenson community, 1724 Hillside Road features a stunning, classic c. 1880 shingle-style, five-bedroom Dutch colonial home. Expertly renovated and expanded, this extraordinary home retains vintage flooring, original fireplaces and details.

A large entry welcomes guests into the bright and spacious living room with a fireplace, accented by a large picture window, and a powder room. The formal dining room also enjoys a fireplace, two sets of built-in bookcases, and a bay window with a built-in window seat. A wide cased portal leads into the sunroom with three walls of windows and French doors to the deck and the adjoining den with a fireplace. The adjacent family room features a fireplace and two sets of French doors to the large screened porch, a must-have for Maryland summers. The custom gourmet kitchen features commercial grade stainless appliances and granite counters.

A large sitting hall at the top of the main staircase enjoys a vintage built-in linen cabinet and access to the bedrooms beyond. The primary suite includes a bedroom, dressing room with two double closets, and primary bath with a glass enclosed shower stall. Four additional bedrooms and three baths share this level (including one en-suite bedroom built out as a library with built-in bookcases and base cabinets). The finished walk-out lower level features a recreation room with two double cedar closets, a built-in desk, and a large walk-in storage closet. An arched glazed door leads to the climate controlled wine room. The craftsroom/studio features an entry door, oak island with flat file drawers and deep storage closet. The laundry room, garden room/workshop, and utility room complete this level.

Just beyond the main house sits a stunning rebuilt three-story barn/office/studio with gorgeous views of the yard and stream from the fourth level cupola retreat and deck. A large bluestone patio at the rear of the main house is a peaceful retreat, overlooking the stone fishpond and waterfall.

With two beautifully landscaped acres including a deep back yard, enclosed, raised garden bed area and footbridge fording the Jones Falls stream, 1724 Hillside Rd offers a wide variety of beautiful indoor and outdoor living spaces in a highly convenient yet tranquil locale!

Back to the Future: I would say my home aesthetic is European modern.

Separation Anxiety: The kitchen was divided into two halves, with the eating area on one side and everything else on the other. We wanted to open up the space because there wasn’t enough storage or counter space.

Let There Be Light: This architectural style typically has long, rectangular windows, so we knocked out the whole wall so that the windows ran the full length of the wall. It makes it feel like an indoor/outdoor type of room and seem even bigger than it is.

Euro Trip: We realized we wanted to use a European cabinet company because of the materials they use and the way that they finish everything. We’ve used an architect named Janet Bloomberg of Kube Architecture in D.C. for a couple of different things over the years, and she suggested the Italian company Pedini.

Hidden Objects: One of the Pedini principals, whose name is Roy Wellman, helped design the space. He sized them so you wouldn’t know what was behind each cabinet. My refrigerator, trashcan, and dishwasher are in lacquer so you don’t know what function is behind each.

Orange Is The New Black: The orange chairs by SohoConcept are counter length. We wanted to add a splash of color, and the stools were the way we chose to bring that in.

Galley Chic: The kitchen has a professional feel while still being residential. I like the fact that it’s not laid out the way most kitchens I’ve been in have been laid out. But it’s also incredibly functional.

Sunny-Side Up: This room is located on the south side of my house, and it’s just the sunniest and nicest room in the house. We all just want to be in the kitchen all the time because it is so cheerful and beautiful.
