Set within the prestigious Hillstead community of Lutherville, 904 Hillstead Drive is a custom-built Georgian estate offering over 6,500 square feet of elegant, thoughtfully designed living space. With seven bedrooms, five full baths, and two half baths, this stately all-brick home is perfectly situated on a professionally landscaped 2.68 acre lot. Rich architectural detailing, formal and casual living areas, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow create a timeless residence suited for both entertaining and everyday comfort. The main level welcomes guests through a striking two-story foyer accented by black-and-white marble floors, where a semi-circular oak staircase rises beneath a vaulted ceiling. Off the foyer, the living room features hardwood floors, a tray ceiling, and a wood-burning fireplace with a marble mantel believed to be from the H.L. Mencken house. Four sets of French doors open onto a covered porch, extending the living space outdoors. The adjoining formal dining room showcases its own fireplace with a framed brick accent wall, perfect for gatherings both grand and intimate. A butler’s pantry, complete with cherry cabinetry, granite counters, and a glass tile backsplash, connects the dining area to the kitchen. The kitchen is both functional and inviting, featuring cherry cabinetry with custom details, a large island with granite top, and high-end appliances, including Sub-Zero and Thermador. The spacious breakfast area, beneath a coffered ceiling with skylights, opens to a screened porch and a wood deck, creating an ideal setting for casual meals and outdoor dining. Nearby, the richly appointed library offers custom mahogany built-ins, a concealed bar, and elegant finishes. A hall provides flow between the garage, kitchen, and formal spaces, while a main-level powder room off the foyer completes the layout. Upstairs, the second level offers a luxurious primary suite with a fireplace, walk-out access to a private roof deck with hot tub, and a custom-fitted double closet. The en suite bath features a freestanding soaking tub, quartz-topped vanity, rain shower, and beautifully finished tile work. Three additional bedrooms are found on this level, one with a fireplace and custom built-ins, and are supported by a shared bath and a hall bath. A laundry room and walk-out access to a second roof deck round out the floor. The third level offers two more spacious bedrooms, each with walk-in closets, built-in bookcases, and arched dormer windows, as well as a full bath and additional storage. The finished lower level adds flexible living space with a large recreation room, complete with Vermont Castings wood stove and French doors opening to the patio and pool area. A private office, wine room, seventh bedroom with en suite bath, and a half bath provide options for guests, work, and entertaining. The lower level also includes multiple storage areas. Outside, the home is surrounded by mature landscaping, tiered outdoor spaces, and classic hardscaping. A brick walkway leads to the stately front entry, while the rear features multiple covered and open-air entertaining spaces, including a screened porch, expansive deck, and bluestone-bordered patio leading to an in-ground pool with fenced enclosure. With a circular driveway, generous parking, and peaceful privacy, 904 Hillstead Drive offers a rare blend of timeless architecture, modern livability, and gracious acreage in one of Lutherville’s most desirable neighborhoods.
