1600 W Joppa Road

Built in 1901 on a rare 26,000-square-foot lot in the heart of Ruxton, this five-bedroom, three-and-a-half bath home offers approximately 3,912 square feet (per 2021 appraisal) of living space, with the wraparound porch, fish-scale shingle gables, and original single-pane windows with storm windows that define the era, without sacrificing how a family actually uses a home now. The foyer's original staircase and dark wood banister set the tone, refinished to match the equally original second-floor staircase above. Wide-plank floors and crown molding run through the formal living room and separate dining room, each with its own fireplace (four total throughout the home). Behind a mirrored cabinet door in the family room sits a fully stocked bar, the kind of detail you don't expect until you find it. The modern, renovated kitchen has an oversized island, gourmet gas range, custom hood, heated tile floors, and a sliding barn door to the pantry, open to the family space beyond. The primary suite occupies its own quiet corner of the second floor with a renovated en-suite bath featuring heated tile floors and in-suite laundry. A second full bath on this level has also been partially renovated. Four more bedrooms are split across the second and third floors, including a bright third-floor space with dormered eaves, built-in storage, and newly finished wood floors, which is good for guests, kids, or a home office. Additional storage is in the basement. Recent work includes new insulation, a roof (rubber and slate) maintained in 2025, HVAC split system, gutter guards in 2017, and a water heater in 2012. The exterior and interior have been freshly painted, and the front porch refurbished and refinished. Located on one of Ruxton's most desirable streets, with highly rated schools nearby and easy access to downtown Baltimore, Timonium and Towson. 5 Bedrooms | 3.5 Baths | 3,912 Sq Ft | 26,000 Sq Ft Lot | Built 1901
