5109 Roland Ave Baltimore, MD 21210

Welcome to 5109 Roland Avenue, a detached 1890s Victorian in Tuxedo Park, part of Baltimore's Wyndhurst neighborhood and just steps from the heart of Roland Park. Set in the highly desirable 21210 zip code, this special home offers the architectural character of a true historic Baltimore house, along with a walkable location, generous outdoor space, and off street parking. From the street, the home immediately stands apart. The original wood clapboard exterior, distinctive turret, wraparound front porch, screened sleeping porch, and mature juniper trees create a wonderfully inviting presence. The sunny front yard offers space for a vegetable, flower, or cutting garden, while the spacious backyard provides room for play, pets, entertaining, gardening, or future landscaping. Inside, generous room proportions, original wood floors, and beautiful period details give the house the character buyers seek in a late nineteenth century home. The floors have been loved and lived on for generations and show the patina and imperfections that come with age. They are not pristine, but they are authentic and part of what makes the house feel special. The main level features a large living room with a decorative marble fireplace mantel and a separate dining room with a second decorative marble mantel. The renovated kitchen opens to an adjoining breakfast room, creating an easy everyday gathering space. The current owners have also added a new first floor full bath, laundry room, and mudroom, bringing practical modern function to the historic floor plan. The unusually spacious entry hall is another useful feature, with room for bicycles, strollers, sporting equipment, or additional flexible living space. Upstairs are three generously sized bedrooms and a full bath. A charming secondary staircase leads to the rear bedroom and is one of the original architectural details that gives the house so much personality. Above the second floor, the large unfinished attic provides substantial storage and potential for future expansion. Depending on a buyer's plans and approvals, it could become additional bedrooms, a playroom, home office, studio, or other flexible living space. The basement is a traditional cellar intended for utilities and storage rather than finished living space. The current owners have already begun the process of thoughtfully improving the home while preserving its historic character. The next owner will have the opportunity to continue that work over time. This is a home for someone who appreciates authentic architecture, understands the beauty of an old house, and wants to make considered improvements rather than erase what makes it distinctive. The location is one of the property's greatest strengths. From 5109 Roland Avenue, you can walk to Eddie's of Roland Park, Starbucks, the Roland Park branch of the Enoch Pratt Free Library, neighborhood shops, cafes, the hardware store, Roland Park Pool, and other everyday conveniences. The home is also close to many of North Baltimore's best known schools, including Roland Park Elementary and Middle School, Gilman School, Roland Park Country School, Friends School of Baltimore, and The Bryn Mawr School. For buyers looking for a detached historic home in Baltimore, Victorian architecture, original wood floors, a wraparound porch, outdoor space, off street parking, and a highly walkable location near Roland Park, 5109 Roland Avenue offers a rare combination of character, convenience, and possibility. This is not a house that needs to become something entirely different. It is a house ready for its next steward to preserve what is special, build upon the improvements already made, and thoughtfully shape it into a home for the years ahead. The property is not subject to an HOA.
