Step into peace on this 3.25-acre verdant refuge, a captivating private oasis nestled in Sparks-Glencoe, an extraordinary property that offers a harmonious blend of rustic elegance and modern sustainability: a charming main home with three bedrooms, three full & one half baths, a barn and a completely restored log cabin dating back 230 years.
Surrounded by arboretum quality trees, the creek & spring pond all attract native birds, pollinators, and wildlife. Spend peaceful sunny mornings sipping a latte on your kitchen deck, afternoons poolside or in the fenced-in back yard with hawks and eagles flying overhead, and evenings next to the wood burning stove while reading a book.
Step into warmth the moment you enter the main house. The charming entryway, which doubles as a sitting room, is anchored by a vibrant red Vermont Castings wood-burning stove nestled in a timeless exposed brick chimney, perfect for cozy evenings and snowy mornings. A home office is found just off the entryway complete with a half bath, providing the possibility for an additional bedroom or other flexible space. The living & dining area features a striking exposed-beam ceiling showcasing rich wood beams and planks, infusing the space with cozy cabin-inspired warmth and abundant character. A custom-made Artemide pendant lamp designed by Michele de Lucchi is featured in the dining area.
A standout kitchen has been designed for function and style, highlighted by rich wood cabinets that bring natural warmth and texture to the space. Centered on a generous island with sleek charcoal soapstone countertop and seating, it's equipped with modern stainless appliances, pendant lighting, and smart storage solutions like glass doors and deep drawers. The neutral backsplash and abundant natural light make it bright and inviting, seamlessly connecting to the beamed living areas for cohesive rustic charm throughout the home.
Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite offers a serene, light-filled retreat with soaring vaulted ceilings accented by exposed rustic wooden beams, creating an airy yet cozy cabin-like ambiance. Large windows flood the space with natural light and frame peaceful wooded views, and a walk-in cedar closet and built-in drawers provide ample storage space. The adjoining spa-like primary bathroom is a true highlight, featuring elegant marble tile throughout, a deep soaking tub with a marble surround, a separate walk-in shower, dual vanities topped in rich granite, and crisp white cabinetry, delivering a bright, sophisticated sanctuary perfect for relaxation and rejuvenation. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath provide more space on the upper level for family, guests, or any space to suit your lifestyle.
A garden area with soil ready for planting your vegetable, herb, and flower garden awaits you, while the high tunnel structure extends the planting season in both spring and fall. A small fruit orchard with pears, peaches, plums, and nectarine provide ample harvests for creating jams, tarts, and summer salads.
An additional fenced-in area can be used for playing ball with a dog or other activities.
The barn upstairs is large, light filled, and ready for all your outdoor storage needs and building projects. The downstairs is a finished-out party space, complete with radiant floor heating, a kitchenette, a bathroom, and a dry sauna. The large sliding glass doors open to a view over the saltwater swimming pool and beyond towards the neighboring fields and forests.
Solar panels, Tesla Powerwalls, and a geothermal system create a comfortable living environment inside all the structures. The log cabin behind the main house, built in 1798, provides a sanctuary for yoga, listening to music, meditation, seed saving, herb drying, and more.
Nestled in the highly coveted Hereford Zone of Northern Baltimore County, this exceptional 3.25-acre retreat feels like a peaceful world of its own.
