Coming Soon!!! Individual Showings Begin After The Open House 8/8 Sunday From 11am To 1pm. Historic Significance and Charm! This distinctive 7 bedroom 6 Bath (2 Half) home is located in the Windsor Hills Historic District (a national register and city designated historic district). Built for Albert Hutzler of Hutzlers Department Store for his summer residence. A complete interior and exterior remodeling in 1937 by then owner-resident Walter Hollander (prominent Baltimore business man). The house, garage, garden house and yard with a stone wall enclosing a garden and wooded lot, painted trellises and prominent setting on the block set this residence apart. The house and property are larger than most in the neighborhood. Exterior and interior architectural elements designed and hand crafted specifically for this house include interior columns, mahogany paneling and trim, many built-in furniture elements on all three floors, door and window details, prominent porch railings in artdeco style, shape of the stair treads, and even the house number design. Blueprints and design sketches exist for both renovations. Structurally, this is a three story wood framed residence on stone foundation with slate hip roof and dormers. The first floor features a wrap-around porch with three multi-columned porticos, plus three other porches on three floors including flat-roof balconies on the second and third levels. A former porch is now window-enclosed as a breakfast nook. The two detached car garage with slate hip roof and small garden house match the house design and were constructed in the same time period as the house. Construction, Remodeling History - The house was built in 1907. A full historic renovation ($104,400) under the Maryland Historic Trust was conducted in 2010-12, including a remodeled kitchen. There have been periodic energy upgrades; major upgrade in 2010, last energy audit in 2016. A high efficiency Buderus furnace and water heater system installed in 2010 and completely overhauled in 2020. Historic Charm - Retains original moldings and custom woodwork. Historic photos and written recollections from former owners are available. Many of the âmodern lookingâ features were in fact from 1937, 1919, and 1907; they were the best available and most advanced designs in their day, and have stood the test of time. Notable Features - Several options for home office with many built-in desks and bookcases. Large pantry with laundry on first floor. Two cedar closets; one with drawers, one tall enough for womenâs formal wear. Wood burning fireplace. Hot water radiator heating: clean, silent, stable temperature. Unused rooms can be unheated. Good insulation plus flow-through air circulation keeps the house cool in summer. Linen drawers adjacent to the dining room and on the third floor. Ventilated cabinets in the basement. Ceiling fans on first, second and third floors. Cherry and apple trees, blueberry bushes, and flowering trees among other trees on large double lot.
