Property Description
There are only a few people who know where the real gems of Roland Park can be found. These are the ‘tucked away’ treasures known only to current or former residents who can find the hidden paths and alleys. Originally known as Cottage A, 4804 Wilmslow is one of those rare finds. Oozing with charm and character, this home will delight all with its enchanting details. Roland Park resident, William P Pearson enlisted Architect Herbert C Aiken to design his home in 1925. The pictures from that era (yes, they still have the photos!) offer a glimpse into how the house was loved and lived in – patio and garden dinner parties and Sunday front porch lounging. Why not continue those traditions today? As you walk up the front path, you are greeted by an open porch, which is indeed perfect for an afternoon lemonade as you watch the Stony Run walkers and imagine their journey. Exercise with friends? Or a jaunt to the local schools, shops and restaurants? Endless options in this ideal location. And then there are the endless options within this home. Enter the foyer that welcomes all and provides an unexpected, oversized closet. Your eye will go right to the large fireplace in the living room; you can just imagine how cozy winter nights will be. A formal dining room is perfect for intimate dinner parties. Check the box of the essential home office, although you might find it hard to focus as you look out the bank of windows and the lush greenery that surrounds you. The unexpected delight? A large family room addition off the galley kitchen - a Roland Park cottage with ideal living space! Three bedrooms on the second floor with two full bathrooms are awash in natural light. And the third-floor bonus room? We like to think of it as an interior tree house – accessed via a wooden ladder that brings out the kid in all of us!
It’s hard to describe the beauty of the patio – the original tile floor, sprawling stone wall and working water feature are masterpieces. One must experience them in person to fully capture their splendor. As you stand in the patio, you can envision Mr Pearson’s parties and how you will re-create your own – candles perched along the wall and twinkling lights strewn from house to trees. Roland Park has a reputation for its grand dames and royal estates -but it tipped the scale with this perfectly sized jewel.
