209 RIDGEWOOD ROAD

BALTIMORE, MD 21210

Perched atop one of Baltimore City’s most coveted lots, 209 Ridgewood Road boasts a stunning Colonial Revival home, built in 1900, on an expansive 1.93 acre double lot. Designed in the spirit of Frederick Law Olmsted Jr. and Edward Bouton’s garden suburb vision, the home’s architectural excellence is matched by its serene surroundings. The corner lot, adorned with mature trees and perennials, invites endless possibilities such as a pool, a tennis court, or a lush retreat. A wide, welcoming front porch leads into a gracious foyer, where intricate moldings, wainscoting, and a beamed ceiling set the tone for the craftsmanship found throughout. To the right, the library features built-in bookcases and a fireplace. To the left, the formal dining room, also with a fireplace, maintains its historic charm with dentil crown molding and a vintage servant’s buzzer. The kitchen blends original cabinetry with modern updates, including a Thermador gas range and a farmhouse sink. A bright breakfast nook offers the perfect spot for morning coffee, while a butler’s pantry provides additional storage and workspace. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the family room, a beautifully renovated space designed by Melville Thomas Architects. With large windows and French doors opening to a stone patio, this space is ideal for both relaxed living and entertaining. The second floor is anchored by the primary suite, where two sets of French doors frame the fireplace. A spacious walk-in closet and a luxurious ensuite bath, complete with a soaking tub and an oversized shower, create a spa-like setting. Bedroom two enjoys its own en-suite bath, while bedrooms three and four share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom. A back staircase provides additional access between floors, connecting the home’s living spaces. On the third level, additional living spaces can accommodate a variety of needs including a fifth bedroom, a full bath, an art studio and two additional rooms that offer potential as guest quarters, a home office, or a playroom. The lower level offers a recreation room featuring exposed brick and built-in cabinetry, a separate workshop, ample storage as well as a laundry area and powder room. Outside, the expansive grounds are a true highlight, offering a park-like setting. A stone patio, framed by a knee-high garden wall, creates an inviting space for al fresco dining or entertaining. A four-car parking pad and a garden shed add to the home’s practicality. With its unparalleled setting, rich architectural details, and proximity to Blue Ribbon schools, the neighborhood library, and local dining, 209 Ridgewood Road is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to own a piece of Baltimore history.
