* Open House on 4/3 from 3-6pm * . Tucked into the trees on a secluded acre in Cockeysville, this one-of-a-kind timber frame home feels like a private retreat suspended in nature. Your approach sets the tone. A stone patio leads to a newly built bridge walkway, guiding you to an entrance that opens into a breathtaking, light-filled living space. Warm post-and-beam construction will catch your eye first, while an entire wall of south-facing glass blurs the line between indoors and out. Overhead, expansive roof panels fill the space with natural light, all beneath a classic wood shake roof that complements the home’s natural surroundings. The main level is designed to be both striking and functional, anchored by a 48-inch Wolf dual fuel professional range that serves as the centerpiece of the kitchen. Soapstone and warm wood countertops, along with a built-in dry bar featuring two refrigerator drawers, make the space as practical as it is inviting. A wood-burning fireplace adds to the ambiance, while a brand-new deck extends your living space into the surrounding trees. The home unfolds across multiple levels, each thoughtfully connected by a stunning spiral staircase, surrounded by natural light and glass. Every bedroom features its own private deck, offering a rare sense of personal outdoor space for each occupant. On the middle level, a glass-wrapped sitting area creates a sun-drenched retreat between bedrooms, perfect for quiet mornings or unwinding at the end of the day. Even the lowest level is filled with light thanks to the home’s unique positioning on the lot. Beyond its architectural appeal, this home has been extensively upgraded with over $119,000 in improvements. Major updates include a new energy-efficient HVAC system, a brand-new ductless mini-split on the main level, all-new decks and exterior walkways, six new exterior doors with screens, upgraded electrical with a new panel and whole-home surge protection, new plumbing and water systems including a fiberglass water heater, and a brand-new septic system. Every improvement was made to enhance both the integrity and longevity of the home while preserving its distinctive character. Homes like this rarely come to market, especially in this location. If you’ve been searching for something truly different, something that feels like an experience every time you walk through the door, this is it.

Multiple "sight-unseen" offers were received here during the Coming Soon status, and sellers opted to accept one of them. Have you ever wanted to live in a tree house in the forest made of wood and glass? If so, then this is the house for you! This beautiful Timberpeg home was built in 1988 on a secluded one-acre lot, set back from the road. After parking in the roomy driveway, meander down the stone path, through the stone patio, to the wooden footbridge that takes you to the front door of the home, on the upper level. You will enter next to the kitchen into a soaring, two-story space cathedral-framed with exposed post-and-beam construction. Expansive windows in the four walls and ceiling will make you feel connected to the world outside at every turn. An open stairway, flooded with light, descends to the lower levels where you'll find the bedrooms and the family room. The sloping terrain means even the lowest level gets floor to ceiling glass. Each space in the home opens to its own private deck so you can enjoy the exterior in every direction. Soapstone and wood countertops, solid maple or Italian terra cotta flooring on the upper levels. Enter, and be instantly enchanted. Professional photos will be uploaded prior to going Active. Square footages shown are estimated from construction drawings and onsite measurements.

DR 1
Density Residential, 1.0 dwelling unit per acre
The D.R. zoning classifications are established, pursuant to the legislative findings set forth above, in order to: Foster a greater variety in housing types within future residential developments; Allow more feasible preservation of natural features and induce the reservation of ample and more suitably designed open spaces and parks, in order to better satisfy the needs of residents without economic disadvantage to developers; Allow greater flexibility in subdivision-development planning and provide for the inducement of more creative as well as more economic approaches to residential development, with the goal of desirable and distinctive identity and character of individual residential locales; Provide the means to satisfy differing housing-market requirements without rezoning, and thus without disruptive changes in density potential; Provide for the application of residential zoning classifications in a manner more nearly in accord with comprehensive plans and comprehensive-planning goals and Provide greater certainty about dwelling types and densities within existing communities with the goal of conserving and maintaining these areas.
