1302 Woodshole Rd, Baltimore, MD 21286

Tucked at the back of a cul-de-sac on 1.3 wooded acres, this five-bedroom brick home pairs rare privacy with a primary suite most houses this side of Towson cannot touch. The addition did more than add roughly 1,000 square feet to the home's 3,401, it created an owner's retreat with a vaulted ceiling, cherry hardwood floors, and a wall of windows in the treetops. Off the suite sits a sun-filled bonus room wrapped in windows with a second fireplace, an easy sitting room, office, or nursery, and the dressing room is a true rarity: floor-to-ceiling custom cherry cabinetry with glass fronts lining both walls, the kind of built-in storage you usually only see in a boutique. The renovated bath delivers double granite vanities, a jetted soaking tub, a separate glass-tiled steam shower, and a skylight overhead, with full-size laundry tucked discreetly behind cabinetry just steps away. The kitchen holds its own with rich cherry cabinetry, granite, double wall ovens, and a center island, all framed by a window over the sink that looks out to the trees. The rest of the home lives just as easily: a living room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and custom built-ins, generously sized secondary bedrooms, hardwoods in beautiful condition throughout, and a walkout lower-level family room with its own brick fireplace opening to a wooded patio. Out back, a screened porch is built for long dinners and easy entertaining, opening to a balcony that runs the rear of the house into the woods with the whole tree canopy at your feet. A brand new roof (2025) means the big-ticket item is handled, a 15-kilowatt standby generator keeps the essentials running when the power goes out, and parking is never a question with a two-car garage, driveway, and extra space alongside. Below the screened porch and addition, roughly 1,500 square feet of unfinished space handles storage with room to spare, or waits for whatever you dream up next. A few minutes up Loch Raven Drive brings you to the reservoir's wooded trails and water; closer to home, Rocco's Old School Italian and the Persian kitchen at Orchard Market and Café are quick trips down Joppa Road. Private, leafy, and move-in ready, this is the rare house where you can stand on the balcony, look out at nothing but trees, and forget the hustle is just minutes away.
