This splendid Victorian home is ideally located in the heart of Roland Park on a thoughtfully landscaped, low-maintenance lot. The six to seven-bedroom, three-and-one-half-bath residence presents an expansive, inviting front porch that spans the entire length of the home; perfect for relaxing and enjoying nature. The interior exudes a warm and welcoming atmosphere enhanced by recently refinished Georgia Pine wood floors throughout the main level, and spacious rooms with multiple bay windows providing abundant natural light. The comfortably sized entry hall with a built-in seating area and grand staircase to the second level sets the tone for beauty without pretense. Living spaces include a generously proportioned living room with a wood-burning fireplace, a wonderful sunroom/family room with walls of windows, a large dining room with a gas fireplace, and a front office or sitting room. The gourmet kitchen and casual dining area comprise the heart of the home presenting granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, an enviably large pantry, tile flooring, and track lighting. The open breakfast area leads to a lovely blue stone patio. The second level hosts three to four bedrooms, two full baths, one with a glorious soaking tub, and a convenient laundry room with a newer front-loading washer and dryer. Three additional bedrooms and a full bathroom (tub inoperable) are located on the third level. Georgia Pine wood floors are throughout the entire home. Improvements include Pella replacement windows on the third level and some of the second floor. There is a newer Central Air Conditioning unit and a newer high-end/high-efficiency gas boiler for heat. In a category that embodies the spirit of Roland Park, 317 Hawthorn Road is a must-see property. And then here you are in this most convenient locale of Roland Park, just 100 yards to Stony Run Park, and a short stroll to the Roland Park Pool (memberships available), stores, library, cafes, restaurants and the many lovely walking paths in this quintessential Baltimore Neighborhood. There is nothing quite like it. Feel free to ask the Listing agent he lives just 2 blocks away.
