Hiddenbook, a historically significant estate property located in coveted Ruxton/Woodbrook with one of the largest unrestricted lots inside the beltway, 6.0 acres. You read that right, 6 acres in Ruxton with the ability to subdivide or leave as it is for unparalleled privacy. Celebrating its 100th birthday this year, Hiddenbrook was designed by Theodore Wells Pietch, a prominent architect who is responsible for several notable Baltimore buildings including the Recreation Pier in Fells Point now known as The Sagamore Pendry, SS Philip and James Catholic Church on N. Charles St. and Eastern High School. The house has been tastefully and thoughtfully updated by the present owners, only the 2nd owners of the house who paid particular attention to maintaining the original architectural beauty. The 2 year renovation included every system including electrical, plumbing, and HVAC. The Stucco English Manor style house has 67 windows and 8 sets of French doors which are the fabric of the house and contribute to light filled rooms and cross breezes. The original windows were restored to open and close, adding storm windows to maintain their beauty and efficiency. The traditional floor plan includes the Living Room, Dining Room, Den, Sunroom, Kitchen, Butler’s Pantry, Laundry and powder room on the main floor. 4 Bedrooms, a home office and 3 full baths on the 2nd floor. 2 bedrooms, 1 full bath and walk-in storage attic on the 3rd floor. The dining room exits to a stone patio surrounded with stone seating wall and stone fireplace, overlooking the pastoral green lawn and gardens. Sitting on the patio in front of a roaring fire can sometimes lead to eagle sightings and the sounds of owls hooting. Mature trees, azalea & hydrangea bushes, climbing roses and a privet hedge give the property privacy and a feeling of days gone by. The eat-in kitchen enjoys high-end appliances including a French Lacanche gas range, free standing Sub-Zero glass door refrigertor, Bosch dishwasher, soapstone counters and a marble island. The butler’s pantry has a cozy breakfast nook with the original table and benches. The laundry/mud room and large pantry are off the kitchen. High-end Miele washer and dryer with counter and hanging area. Attached 2 car garage with original carriage doors and a functional automatic garage door. A woodburning FP flanked by lighted built-in bookshelves are the focal point of the gracious and inviting Living Room. The sun room has a stone floor and oversized windows on 3 sides of the room flooding the room with natural sunlight and bringing the outside in. The primary bedroom has a fireplace and luxury en-suite bath and walk-in closet. The original sleeping porch adjoins the Primary Bedroom and has endless possibilities. French doors in the second floor home office open to a Juliet balcony overlooking the property. Hardwood floors on all 3 levels. There are few opportunities to own in this desirable location with easy proximity for commuting yet a country like setting. No HOA to limit the possibilities for the 6 acres. Property has the potential to be subdivided adding value to this already esteemed property. Listing agent is the owner. Property being sold as-is. $2,398,000 ACTIVE

7 Beds 7 Baths 6,000 SqFt 0.520 Acres

Rare opportunity to own a prestigious Ruxton estate, that has not changed hands in almost 60 years. The possibilities are endless, allowing the new owner to customize it exactly the way you want. No having to settle for someone else's ideas. Make this your own! Price is based BELOW actual appraised value, so you will not only have a blank slate to work with, but based on comparables on the same street, the asking price is less than 50% of what the expected value should be after you customize it to be your own, providing outstanding value for the price. Investors are invited (just run the numbers!), as are buyers looking for a dream house that they can design from the ground up. Add to that the prime location at the top of L'hirondelle Club Road (this was the original house on the street and was once part of a grand 30+ acre estate), offering a prestigious address bordering dozens of acres of forested, undevelopable land. There is plenty of flat land allowing parking for as many as 20 (or more) cars, something very few other homes in the area can boast and an absolute MUST for those who love to entertain or have large families. In the 1050's the house was configured and is currently grandfathered as three separate residences (with three separate post office addresses, three separate kitchens and three separate electric meters), allowing a new buyer to live in the larger part of the house and rent the two, two bedroom apartments. OR, use one or both of the apartments as a mother-in-law suite or guest house if desired). In addition, the house could easily be restored to its original grandeur as one amazing residence. You are only limited by your imagination. Just check out the line drawings included in the photos! In addition, there are TWO detached garages- a 2000SF four car, two story building and a 1000SF one story building that could be easily converted to a workshop or office, or could be used for storage. Mature trees, a 15' X 30' in-ground pool with new filter (2023) and an incredible wrap-around porch complete the dream. Estimates from a well known local builder for possible upgrades are included as an example in the disclosures! This is a must-see as the possibilities are absolutely endless, and an opportunity like this is truly once in a lifetime."
