Built as the model home by architect George Morris for his "University Homes, " this classic end-of-group Tudor townhome in historic Tuscany Canterbury offers a unique and coveted piece of Baltimore architectural history, nestled between Guilford and Roland Park. Over a century old, the home pairs timeless character with significant recent updates. Newly installed oak floors in a stunning Parisian-style herringbone pattern greet you at the entry. The dining room features built-in bookshelves on every wall, perfect for readers and collectors. French doors with paned glass open to a sun-filled sunroom, a flexible space for a home office, den, or reading room. The mid-century Danish-inspired kitchen is ideal for cooking and entertaining. Just beyond, a beautiful private blue stone patio at the rear of the home offers plenty of room for plantings and container gardens, an inviting spot for morning coffee or evening gatherings. Upstairs, four bedrooms (or bedrooms plus office and workout space) include a primary suite with a distinctive arched wall, bowed bay window, and wood burning fireplace. The private third floor makes a comfortable guest retreat. Freshly painted throughout, the rooms feel light, crisp and clean. The lower level, currently set up as an apartment, is well suited to a guest suite, in-law space, or home office. Major systems and updates include Renewal by Andersen windows and sliding doors, thoughtfully installed Rheem central air conditioning and duct work, and two updated electrical panels. Meticulously maintained by its current owners, 3909 Canterbury Road is ready for her new owner. Voluntary Community Association Dues only. There are no binding architectural restrictions or covenants. Welcome to Tuscany Canterbury! Visit www. tuscanycanterbury.org for more historic and neighborhood info.

Tuscany-Cantebury, located between Charles Street and University Parkway, is a residential and academic Baltimore neighborhood with leafy blocks and stately apartment buildings. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Charles Street corridor by the Johns Hopkins University Homewood campus, where coffee counters, casual eateries, and small storefronts keep sidewalks active. The Johns Hopkins University Homewood Museum, the Baltimore Museum of Art, and Gertrude’s Chesapeake Kitchen anchor local culture. Architecture leans toward early-20th-century brick apartments and porch-front homes, framed by mature trees. Wyman Park and the Stony Run trail add a green, walkable rhythm. A steady calendar of campus talks and museum programs shapes the day-to-day pace.
