Over 4,000 finished square feet. Four finished levels. Five bedrooms. Two fireplaces. A detached two-car garage. One of Northwest Baltimore's most walkable and distinguished addresses. Nestled within Baltimore's established Cross Country neighborhood, this stately 5-bedroom, 2 full and 2 half bath Colonial offers timeless architecture, exceptional craftsmanship, and beautifully curated grounds that create a private backyard retreat unlike many others. From the moment you arrive, the home's classic curb appeal is enhanced by a brand-new architectural shingle roof, mature landscaping, and meticulously maintained gardens that frame the property with color, texture, and year-round beauty. Step inside the impressive grand foyer, where elegant moldings, rich oak hardwood flooring, solid walnut doors, and antique glass doorknobs showcase the home's enduring character. Generously sized living spaces flow effortlessly throughout the main level, including a formal living room, elegant dining room, private study/library with its own fireplace, inviting sunroom, and a dedicated music room, providing remarkable flexibility for entertaining, working from home, or everyday living. At the heart of the home, the spacious gourmet kitchen opens directly to an expansive rear deck overlooking one of the property's most captivating features—an exceptionally private backyard oasis. Surrounded by lush perennial gardens, mature trees, ornamental plantings, and thoughtfully designed landscape beds, this tranquil outdoor setting offers a peaceful escape with changing colors throughout the seasons. Whether hosting summer gatherings, enjoying morning coffee while listening to birdsong, or unwinding in complete privacy, the rear yard feels like your own secluded garden sanctuary. The upper level features five generously sized bedrooms and a spacious full bath, while a convenient full bath on the main level and half baths on both the upper and lower levels provide excellent functionality for family and guests alike. The fully finished lower level expands the home's living space even further with an additional recreation area, half bath (with potential to convert to a full bath), and abundant storage—ideal for a media room, fitness space, playroom, home office, or guest retreat. A concrete driveway leads to the detached side-entry two-car garage, providing ample off-street parking and additional storage. The location is equally impressive. Situated just off Park Heights Avenue, you'll enjoy the convenience of walking to private and parochial schools, educational centers, houses of worship, neighborhood shops, specialty markets, and local conveniences. Tree-lined streets and continuous sidewalks create a welcoming neighborhood atmosphere, while quick access to I-695 and I-83 places Pikesville, Mount Washington, Towson, and Downtown Baltimore just minutes away. Rich in character. Exceptional in scale. Surrounded by gardens. Perfectly positioned. Welcome home.
