Property Description

Steep Acre is one of Ruxton's most iconic homes, perched with quiet grandeur above Ruxton Road. Originally conceived as a summer retreat by the esteemed Baltimore architect James Wyatt of Wyatt & Nolting, this Victorian-era beauty, clad in rich brown cedar shake shingles and dressed with green-and-white striped awnings, exudes the charm of a Nantucket seaside escape. A circular driveway, lined with azaleas, rhododendrons, and cheerful jonquils, welcomes guests onto the expansive porches, one at each end of the living room, where summer breezes drift through bringing wafts of sweetly scented air. Inside, the living room is a treasure trove of craftsmanship, with two bay windows framing a wood-burning fireplace, warm pine floors underfoot, and exquisite beamed coffered ceilings adorned with hand-carved moldings. Heart pine flooring continues throughout all three levels. The dining room is a favorite gathering space where the current owners create a dreamlike, candlelit setting for many celebrations. Just beyond, the cozy family room invites quiet moments and lively conversations. In the kitchen, warmth radiates from heated floors, while antiqued buff-colored cabinetry, honed granite countertops, and a custom hammered stainless steel farmhouse sink add a touch of rustic elegance. A breakfast bar beckons for morning coffee, and just steps away, the mudroom and laundry room provide a practical yet charming entry point. Upstairs, three bedrooms and a second-floor office/family room with its own fireplace offer inviting retreats. The primary suite boasts a spacious sitting area, two generous closets, and an en-suite bath featuring custom tile, a clawfoot tub, and a large shower. The third floor is bathed in natural light, featuring two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a spacious great room with an entire wall of built-ins. Out back, a deck and hot tub overlook the lush 1.35 acre lot, where perennial gardens and towering trees paint a picturesque landscape. Whether dining al fresco on the porch or sipping a cool drink as the day fades, the setting is nothing short of magical. This architectural gem is a piece of history in a premier Ruxton location, offering easy access to major highways, Blue Ribbon schools, and shopping. Central air conditioning on 2nd and 3rd floors only.
