About 501 Woodlawn Rd
Exceptional Properties. Exceptional Clients. Originally built in 1897 to plans by renowned architect William Lightfoot Price, this exceptional Roland Park residence combines timeless character with modern infrastructure in one of Baltimore’s most charming neighborhoods. Set on a prominent half-acre corner lot, the six-bedroom home features striking medieval-inspired architecture, granite stonework, stucco and timber detailing, leaded glass windows, gothic arches, and beautifully preserved craftsmanship. Unlike many historic homes, this residence offers extraordinary peace of mind thanks to extensive infrastructure modernization, including a complete electrical rewire, complete replacement of plumbing supply and sewage lines, 3 zone Central Air, 6 zone heating and tankless hot water system, new appliances, and countless thoughtful cosmetic and mechanical enhancements. The result is a truly turnkey historical luxury home where the next owner can simply move in and enjoy.
Be welcomed by the sweeping wraparound front porch with multiple seating and entertaining areas - an idyllic setting for a quiet respite or hosting a cocktail party or crab feast. Enter through the grand entrance hall to discover gracious living spaces throughout. The light-filled main level features formal living and dining rooms with wood-burning fireplaces, a cozy den with custom-built-ins, and an all-glass breakfast room that adjoins the renovated kitchen. The kitchen offers two sinks, generous storage and prep space, and new appliances including a six-burner gas range.
Climb the magnificent staircase to the second floor to discover a spacious primary suite with a dedicated dressing room and marble-tile bath, three additional bedrooms (two with wood-burning fireplaces) and a full bath with classic clawfoot tub. The third-floor features two oversized bedrooms, a full bath and a lounge – a private retreat for older children, guests, an au pair, or for quiet work.
Step off the porch to stroll through lush, mature gardens and find a charming stone archway that leads to a flagstone terrace and patio and a generous backyard - all open to the sky. Venture on to the northeast end of the yard and find stone steps leading through a secret garden to Hawthorn Road and a short hop to Stoney Run park and the Roland Park pool.
From the back entrance and patio, the back door connects to a renovated mudroom/laundry, a 2nd fridge, a kids’ playroom/lounge, a full bath and a staircase to the kitchen and adjoining breakfast porch.
A rare opportunity to own a significant piece of Roland Park history with beautifully preserved architecture, generous space, and modern updates truly makes 501 Woodlawn Road an exceptional opportunity.
