About this home
Deemed the best example of Cotswold architecture in Baltimore County, this 1853 Ruxton income-producing property features three units plus a potentially buildable lot. This distinctive income-producing opportunity combines 1853 character, flexible living spaces, generous outdoor areas, and potential future possibilities. This is a rare opportunity to own a three-unit property featuring two residences in the main house built in 1853 and a third residence in a separate carriage house. The carriage house is not historic. The main house is listed as a Baltimore County landmark, offering historic character alongside versatile layouts, laundry for each unit, abundant storage, and exceptional outdoor living. A spacious driveway provides parking for up to six vehicles, including a two-car carport. Unit 1 in the main house offers three bedrooms and one full bath, with thoughtful built-ins and distinctive storage throughout. The generous floor plan includes a screened porch, a family room with beamed ceilings, separate living and dining area, and a kitchen. Enjoy access to a large deck and a roof deck, creating multiple spaces for outdoor entertaining and relaxation. The lower level provides a dedicated washer and dryer plus additional storage. Unit 2 in the main house features three bedrooms, including one well suited for a home office, together with one full bath. The residence includes a living room, kitchen with pantry, and expansive closet space. Basement access provides storage and an in-unit washer and dryer. Located in the non-historic carriage house, Unit 3 offers one bedroom, one full bath, a kitchen, laundry, and storage. A conditioned lower-level bonus space provides excellent flexibility for a home office, studio, or hobby area. The carriage house has a separate address, adding to the property's versatility, creating the potential for a rear building lot once the carriage house is removed. Historic designation, permitted use, unit count, separate addressing, subdivision potential, buildability, and any future development or incorporation of the carriage house into a rear lot should be independently verified by the buyer with Baltimore County and other appropriate authorities. Exterior or site alterations to a locally designated landmark may require review or approval. Total acreage . 75. Baltimore County landmark #BA-01158 for main house. Taxed Sq Footage does not include carriage house.

Ruxton, located between Towson and Lutherville-Timonium, is a residential and wooded Towson neighborhood with winding lanes and grand estate architecture. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Ruxton Road corridor near Lake Roland Park, where trailheads, stone bridges, and canopy trees set a quiet, outdoors-forward rhythm. Historic homes range from early 20th-century manors to classic colonials tucked behind deep setbacks. The Jones Falls valley and the light-rail line trace the landscape’s edges, adding a sense of topography and motion. Nearby, The Shops at Kenilworth and the Senator Theatre act as cultural touchpoints for errands and evenings. Lake Roland’s water, boardwalks, and picnic lawns shape daily routines year-round.

The D.R. zoning classifications are established, pursuant to the legislative findings set forth above, in order to: Foster a greater variety in housing types within future residential developments; Allow more feasible preservation of natural features and induce the reservation of ample and more suitably designed open spaces and parks, in order to better satisfy the needs of residents without economic disadvantage to developers; Allow greater flexibility in subdivision-development planning and provide for the inducement of more creative as well as more economic approaches to residential development, with the goal of desirable and distinctive identity and character of individual residential locales; Provide the means to satisfy differing housing-market requirements without rezoning, and thus without disruptive changes in density potential; Provide for the application of residential zoning classifications in a manner more nearly in accord with comprehensive plans and comprehensive-planning goals and Provide greater certainty about dwelling types and densities within existing communities with the goal of conserving and maintaining these areas.
