3405 Hilton Rd, Baltimore, MD 21215

Property deserves a buyer who is passionate about Historic Districts who will be a welcomed member of Ashburton’s next generation. Located in the established Ashburton Historic District, a premier Baltimore neighborhood, with the lake a block away, this home is eligible for historic tax credits that can enable the next owner to do it well. Although recently used as a 2-unit rental (per HABC), its original design as a single-family home with a 2-car garage, wonderful rear yard, front yard, and large basement could be readily restored with few alterations. Current finished space is 1,700+; MDAT 1,510 does not include the finished attic with dormer windows. Marketed to its initial owners as a 4-bedroom house with a large, finished attic and full basement, both the third floor and basement ceiling heights allow those spaces to create what could be 2,460sf of finished living space for a 5-bedroom home or 4-bedroom with a master suite. The basement is accessible from both the first-floor hall and the rear yard and has ceiling height and windows (and installed framing and electric service awaiting finishing) that enhance it as ripe to become finished living space. The 2-car garage brick walls and home’s stone foundation reflect the original masons’ talents. Wood columns gracing the porch enhance the home’s architectural detail as do the interior hardwood floors on three levels, glass-paned French doors between the fireplaced living room and the original western-exposure sunroom, pocket doors between the living and dining rooms, evidence of what were likely glass panes on either side of the original front door, wood moldings, period hardware, and cedar closets. Bring a contractor, as the house is an excellent candidate for 203(k) loan and historic tax credit programs.
