Property Description

1860 Circle Road | Ruxton Set in one of Ruxton's most coveted locations, 1860 Circle Road is a spectacular 1930 fieldstone Center Hall Colonial, beautifully sited on more than three exceptionally private acres. Originally built by Foster Fenton, Baltimore's premier Cadillac dealer of the era, this remarkable residence offers a combination of provenance, craftsmanship, and setting rarely found today. The experience begins well before reaching the front door. An oak-lined drive winds through the property, and as it rounds toward the house, an extraordinary stone retaining wall comes into view - an early indication of the exceptional craftsmanship found throughout the estate. Stone terraces and footpaths, wrought-iron fencing, classic iron planters, handsome paving, and the distinctive eagle crowning the front entry all contribute to an unmistakable sense of permanence and place. Inside, the gracious Center Hall plan showcases the architectural details that define a house of this caliber: high ceilings, beautiful hardwood floors, substantial crown moldings and chair rails, 18-inch-deep windowsills, and handsome wood-burning fireplaces in the stately living and dining rooms. The deep window openings are a particularly striking reminder of the home's substantial fieldstone construction. The first floor also offers inviting, more casual places to relax, including a sunroom and a comfortable sitting room just off the kitchen - providing a welcome counterpoint to the home's more formal living and dining rooms. The second floor offers three en suite bedrooms, while the third floor provides two additional bedrooms and a full hall bath, creating wonderfully flexible accommodations for family and guests. The lower level holds one of the property's most memorable surprises: an iconic arched tunnel connecting directly to the front drive. A spacious family room with flagstone flooring and a wood-burning fireplace adds another warm and inviting gathering space and further reflects the distinctive character found throughout the house. Beyond the main residence, a three-car garage features a substantial workshop above, offering exciting possibilities for the next owner. This versatile space could be reimagined as guest quarters, an exercise room, art studio, or other creative retreat. Impeccably maintained and clearly cherished by its current owners, 1860 Circle Road has been thoughtfully stewarded for its next chapter - a singular Ruxton property ready to welcome its next owner.
