Shields, Baltimore, MD 21210

Welcome to this lovely and spacious brick Tudor home in the Keswick neighborhood, very close to Roland Park, Evergreen, and Guilford. Once known as Alonsoville, the Keswick neighborhood is home to older houses full of character, charm, and very mature landscaping. There is no HOA or a monthly fee, yet there is a strong sense of community among the residents. Built in 1925, 411 Wingate has been meticulously maintained by longtime owners. The house is deceptively large, with 2733 square feet among three stories, plus 1026 square feet in the lower level. Featuring five bedrooms total - four on the second floor, and a cozy fifth bedroom on the top floor, that would also make ideal office space. There are two bathrooms on the second floor, including a Jack-and-Jill bathroom. The main level has a great layout and nicely proportioned rooms that flow easily throughout, with lots of windows and natural light. A large living room is bright and airy with a wood-burning fireplace, and the adjoining dining room offers a wonderful space for entertaining. This home has both a vestibule and foyer, with a stunning sculptural coat rack that will stay with the house. The kitchen is large enough to be an eat-in kitchen, with sliding doors overlooking the patio and gardens, making it the perfect spot for morning coffee and croissants. A half bath and laundry off the kitchen area offer convenience. The lower level, at 1026 square feet offers the potential for additional living space, with excellent ceiling height and a walk-out to the back yard. The owner is an avid gardener – the mature garden includes small trees, perennials, grasses, and shrubs, with a tiny section of herbs, strawberries, and raspberries. There are spring hellebores and bulbs; ground covers including a rare purple vinca and many sedum; two specialty tree peonies, a camellia; azaleas, Pieris, lacecap hydrangea, two jasmine vines, and assorted ferns. The charming front porch is a wonderful place to enjoy the changing scenery from season to season. The garage, now used as storage for garden tools, could be converted to a one car garage, or offers plenty of storage. The shared driveway has room for two cars, and there is always room to park right in front of the house on this quiet street. This house is zoned for Roland Park Elementary and is just a few steps from Stony Run Park. It’s very close to Roland Park shops and restaurants, the Johns Hopkins Homewood campus, Union Memorial Hospital, Charles Village, Hampden, the Rotunda, and just minutes to downtown from 83. This beautiful property offers the very best of city living while located in a quiet oasis of greenery and gardens. OPEN HOUSE Sat July 17 at 12- 2pm and Sun July 18 at 2-4pm.
