2702 auchentoroly terrace

Old-world character, history, contemporary comfort and convenience: all come together in this charming home - and at an UNBEATABLE price!  There is no other house on the market like this one: in grand condition, with upgraded conveniences and utilities, yet also with its transom windows, original moldings and walls, foyer scrollwork and tiling, kitchen "larder", high ceilings, skylight, pocket doors, claw-footed tub, mantlepieces, chandeliers, floor-to-ceiling windows in the salon and dining room --- a wealth of materials out of which to create YOUR new home! Some more details about this century-old charmer: The front door of the home opens onto the green of Druid Hill Park.  Auchentoroly Terrace itself is a historic neighborhood, dating back to the time that Druid Hill Park was created out of land that was formerly the “country” estate of a well-to-do Baltimore physician, who had named the estate “Auchentorolie” after his family’s ancestral lands in Scotland (for more information: https://auchentorolyterrace.org/history/).  The Terrace and the Park retain many traces of their turn-of-the-century creation, as does the home at 2702 Auchentoroly Terrace: mantlepieces, chandeliers, vestibule tiling and scrollwork decorations, 2 floor-to-ceiling windows in the salon (front room, 1st floor) and one in the dining room, pocket doors, a claw-foot bathtub, even a “larder” in the kitchen.  Floors are wood; the full-bathroom floor is partly tiled. All the rooms on both floors in the middle of the house have a window; the master bedroom upstairs has 3 windows; the back bedroom has 2.  There is a skylight that looks down onto the middle of the long, curving staircase that runs from the 1st to the 2nd floor.  The kitchen door opens in back to both a flight of steps to the backyard, and to a deck on the right. The back of the home has a cantilever structure, which forms the back (3rd) bedroom, and provides a roof over the deck as well.  The backyard is entirely surrounded by a wooden privacy fence, and has a (lockable) gate leading to the alley behind the house.  The backyard also has a door leading into the basement, which runs the whole length of the home and has plenty of space for work, storage and for finishing into additional living space, if needed/desired.  There are two windows looking out from the front of the basement onto an area in the front of the home, next to the front steps: an ideal place for creating potted floral displays. The home has both everything to make your everyday life comfortable and convenient, as well to allow you to relive and revive the beauty and simplicity of a bygone day.
