Roland Park

Some streets simply feel different the moment you turn onto them. Goodwood Gardens, one of the most enchanting lanes in Roland Park, is one of those streets - and this 1907 Craftsman residence, set on a 1.24-acre corner lot, is its quiet showpiece. Offering more than 7,500 square feet of finished living space, the home has been thoughtfully restored and updated to honor more than a century of character while meeting every expectation of modern life. Arrival sets the tone. The grand foyer, lit by a striking chandelier, opens to a living room of rare distinction - coffered, beamed ceilings, original wood paneling, and a substantial fireplace that anchors the room in quiet grandeur. This is craftsmanship of a kind rarely built today, preserved here in remarkable condition. The formal dining room is made for gathering, while the enclosed four seasons room - wrapped in panoramic, newly installed casement windows that open to the breeze - offers a light-filled retreat for morning coffee or evening cocktails. At the heart of the home, the kitchen pairs premium Bertazzoni appliances with Italian marbled quartz countertops, a charming coffee bar, and a sunny eat-in area. A walk-in pantry provides ample storage, and the original butler’s pantry remains - a meaningful thread of the home’s early life, beautifully intact. The home features 6 bedrooms - served by 4 full and 3 half baths, with 3 en suite - offer generous space for family and guests alike. The primary suite is a true sanctuary: its own fireplace, exquisite original woodwork and built-in shelving, and a luxurious bath with a deep soaking tub. A second en suite bedroom opens onto a generous screened porch - believed to be an original sleeping porch - where the view and the quiet sounds of nature are yours morning and night. Three additional flexible rooms suit a home office, guest room, or fitness studio, and a second kitchen on the upper level is a rare convenience for guests, extended family, or work-from-home life. Four wood-burning fireplaces lend warmth and ambiance throughout, and dual-zone heating and cooling ensure year-round comfort. The restoration runs deeper than the surface: all-new energy-efficient windows, freshly refinished hardwood floors, and new lighting that brings a contemporary glow to every room. The finished walk-out lower level, complete with a full bath, is ideal for entertaining and unwinding. Outside, the grounds have been landscaped with Liriope gardens, manicured boxwoods, and seasonal plantings that frame the home in color throughout the year. The deep front porch extends the living space outdoors and welcomes everything from morning quiet to evening gatherings, while a stone patio at the rear offers a second setting for open-air living. A detached two-car garage and a covered firewood store complete the picture. Roland Park itself is part of the story. One of America’s first planned garden suburbs, designed by Frederick Law Olmsted Jr. and his partner, the neighborhood was shaped around winding roads, open green space, and footpaths still in daily use more than a century later - with a new 20-acre park planned nearby. Stroll to Stony Run Park, Cross Keys, and beloved local favorites Petit Louis, Johnny’s, and Miss Shirley’s, all from a setting that feels worlds removed from the pace of the city while remaining minutes from everything it offers. This is restrained, lived-in luxury at its most authentic, a home of uncommon craftsmanship and deep character, lovingly stewarded and ready for its next chapter.
