300 Kerneway, Baltimore.
Hot House: Stone House with Pool and Tennis/Pickleball Court, 1.64 Acre Lot. 6 Beds/6 Baths. 5,188 square feet. Asking price: $1.65 million.
What: Most people don’t even know Kerneway exists, and that’s the way the residents on the street want. While both ends are off East Cold Spring Lane, it’s one-way and the entrance to the street is easy to miss.
As you enter the property from Kerneway, you will notice lovely landscaping with many perennial plantings. Go through the cheery yellow Dutch door into the house where you will find a bright, cheerful layout including the living room with its multi-paneled bay window with a cozy window-seat. Both the living and dining room have wood-burning fireplaces.
Adjacent to the dining room is a butler’s pantry with a wet-bar, which then leads into the super functional kitchen, with restaurant-grade appliances fit for any professional chef. A comfortable den with another wood-burning fireplace is a perfect place to work from home, or curl up and read a great book. A large family room with a gas fireplace is where family and friends can gather for quiet conversations or a rowdy game night.
The Primary Suite features floor-to-ceiling windows, and an adjacent primary bath. A large dressing room has a fireplace, making it an ideal space to get ready for a big event, or wind down after a busy day at the office. There are five more bedrooms on the second floor, and three additional full bathrooms, including one with two showers!
The property, which is more than 1.5 acres, has many gathering areas, including a pool with a pool house, pickleball/tennis courts, space for a kitchen and flower garden, a large terrace with a hand-built stone pizza oven! There is also a two-car garage with a newly surfaced driveway.
Where: Kerneway is a one-way street off Cold Spring Lane, just east of Charles Street. It backs up to both Loyola and Notre Dame Universities but is completely private. It is a very quiet street despite its proximity to so much.
Final Appraisal: Although the house was built in 1910, the amenities are completely contemporary, and many are newly upgraded. The house has numerous spaces for getting together in a group, or spending time alone recharging. The listing for the house is here.
