3030 Iona Terrace Baltimore, MD 21214

The enclosed front sunroom sets this 1927 Craftsman apart before you reach the foyer. It is an easy place to let morning coffee last a little longer, surrounded by a period-specific front door, restored interior casements, and colored-glass sidelights and transom. Inside, the foyer is lit by a converted 1920s Washington, D.C. street lamp, one of several details that reflects the care taken to preserve the home's character. The living room, dining room, and substantial kitchen form the center of the main level. The rooms open into one another, so conversation can carry from the living room through dinner preparation, while the island adds sink space and seating for casual meals. Ample counters and storage make the kitchen as practical as it is connected to the rest of the house. Refinished stairs, parquet flooring, and refinished original hardwoods upstairs carry the period character beyond the entry. All three bedrooms and the full bath are on the second floor, and the primary bedroom includes a walk-in closet. A rear laundry and mud room with a half bath opens to the yard, while the full unfinished basement adds storage and utility space. The backyard is a developed part of the property, with a paved patio adjoining a level lawn, mature trees, and established planting beds. Plantings include daffodils, tulips, irises, hostas, mums, and canna lilies. Dinner can move outside on a good-weather evening, with the garden as the backdrop. A large shed/workshop provides real room for tools and weekend projects, and the generous private driveway extends toward it. Iona Terrace sits within the Arcadia-Beverly Hills Historic District, where porches, lawns, generous setbacks and tree-lined streets give the neighborhood its early-suburban Baltimore character. On the fence about cooking dinner? Leave the car in the driveway and head over to Koco's for the oversized crab cakes it is known for. Harford Road adds local favorites like Zeke's Coffee, while Thursday evenings at The Lot bring the Main Street Market and neighborhood events into the weekly routine. When the better plan is getting outside, Herring Run offers wooded trails and green space nearby, and Lake Montebello gives you another favorite local spot for a walk, run or ride around the water.
