From the moment you enter the spacious center hall, the quality and character of the home are unmistakable. A graceful staircase rises through four curving flights, while tall ceilings and doorways, intricate original trim, gorgeous wood floors, plaster walls, paneled doors and beautifully preserved architectural details throughout reflect the craftsmanship of another era. Broad arched openings connect the gracious living spaces, including a stunning marble mantel in the north parlor and an elegant dining room with its original mantel. With 6 bedrooms and 4.5 baths, Hill House offers exceptional space and flexibility. The beautifully updated "foodie" kitchen has been designed for today's lifestyle while blending seamlessly with the historic character of the home. Comfortable bedrooms and en-suite baths provide wonderful accommodations, while the spectacular third-floor owner's suite creates a private retreat.

Wonderful porches, decks and patios invite outdoor living, while a private deck with hot tub overlooks the park-like grounds. Williamsburg-style gardens, extensive perennial plantings, mature shade trees and expansive lawns create a remarkably peaceful and secluded oasis. A charming old stone cellar with wine storage adds another memorable piece of the property's history. A flexible outbuilding, currently used as a woodworking shop, includes its own attached deck and separate parking area. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the property's proximity to the Torrey C. Brown Rail Trail (NCR Trail) and Prettyboy Reservoir, offering abundant opportunities for hiking, biking, fishing and enjoying the natural beauty of northern Baltimore County. The location also offers an exceptional balance of privacy and convenience - approximately 20 minutes to Towson and 20 minutes to York, Pennsylvania. Architecturally significant yet remarkably livable, Hill House offers the rare opportunity to own a beautifully preserved historic home without taking on a major renovation. The distinctive polychrome slate mansard roof, bracketed cornices, dormers, floor-to-ceiling first-floor windows and other defining features of the Second Empire style remain beautifully intact. If you've always dreamed of owning a historic home but don't want a renovation project, this is the opportunity you've been waiting for. Come experience Hill House and its extraordinary grounds in person - you'll quickly understand why this property is so special. Move right in and begin enjoying a remarkable home with more than 145 years of history. For a detailed historic description, see the Maryland Historical Trust, property #BA-1152. Read Less
