2 E Highfield Rd, Baltimore, MD 21218

This classic 5-bedroom Guilford stone Colonial offers timeless character, generous proportions, and exceptional space for both everyday living and entertaining. The current owners, including New York Times best-selling illustrator Wallace West, have painstakingly removed dated wallpaper and carpet throughout the house to restore the natural beauty of this historic gem. A gracious entrance hall welcomes you into the home and opens to a stunning 24-foot living room featuring pegged wood floors, built-in bookcases, and a wood-burning fireplace. Opposite the living room, an elegant dining room has its own fireplace, built-in china cabinets, and wood flooring, with ample space to host dinner parties and other gatherings. The adjacent kitchen flows into a family room, perfect for casual dining and relaxing, and a small private space that can be used as an office or large pantry. There is endless potential to reconfigure, elevate, and expand these spaces to meet your needs. The main level also includes a half bathroom, sun-filled stone sunroom with updated windows, and a cozy study with built-ins and a fireplace. Upstairs, the second level has two bedrooms that share a hall bath and a spacious primary bedroom with an en-suite bath. The third level boasts two more bedrooms and an updated full bath. The basement features an impressive 35’ x 15’ open, unfinished area with excellent potential for future finishing as additional living space, along with laundry and a half bath. Outside, the property is equally special. Gorgeous landscaping encircles the entire house, with a magnificent evergreen Magnolia tree anchoring the front yard. A stone patio and pergola at the rear creates the perfect private outdoor space to enjoy the tranquility of the surrounding garden. A two-car attached garage with high ceilings creates further potential for expansion to maximize the space. Ideally located within walking distance of Sherwood Gardens, Union Memorial Hospital, Johns Hopkins University, Loyola University, and Notre Dame of Maryland University, this home offers classic charm, abundant space, and an exceptional opportunity to live in one of Baltimore’s most sought-after neighborhoods.
