Description
Thoughtfully restored seven bedrooms, five a half bathrooms quintessential Guilford home. This sprawling historic masterpiece, built in 1913, has over 8,500 square feet of living space and was originally designed and built for John E Greiner, a well-known Baltimore and Ohio Railroad bridge engineer who took part in the design and build of the original Chesapeake Bay Bridge. It is the creation of famed architects Ellicott and Emmart, who favored burly versions of the Colonial Revival and the French Beaux Arts traditions and are well known for fusing the two together to produce original architecture just as this. Freshly restored ornate details can be found throughout the home (original wood floors, columns, doors, molding, Wedgewood, sconces, bookcases, etc.), paired alongside reinvented spaces with new modern updates (all new kitchen with Wolf Appliances, main level wine room, new marble bathrooms, expansive primary suite with walk-in closet, its own balcony and large luxurious primary en-suite bath, an elevator, three new HVAC systems, two car garage, etc.) all harmonizing together to make this an exceptional one-of-a-kind residence. The exterior was not to be overlooked either in this extensive restoration with the completely refreshed patio making for a spectacular indoor/outdoor expansion of living space with multiple access points across the main level. The basement has also been expanded and fully finished to include multiple storage spaces and even a secret entrance via murphy door and a brand-new interior and exterior copper gutter system with decorative cornice, matched to the original on the home, was also just completed by Fick Brothers. Along with the creation of this residence, architects Ellicott and Emmart are additionally responsible for many other notable homes and buildings in the area which include the Saint Davids Episcopal Church in Roland Park and the Women's Club of Roland Park.
