About this property

Cozy home base for Mid-Atlantic tourism: Baltimore, D.C., Philly, Gettysburg

This property is an all-brick Cape Cod home on the loveliest street of an historic Baltimore neighborhood.
The home has 3 bedrooms and a full bath on the upper floor; the main level boasts a living room, dining room, updated kitchen, and large family room addition with a half bath; and the home has a finished, carpeted basement that’s cozy and bright and has a laundry room with full size washer and dryer. This is a non-smoking property.
The sleeping arrangements are:
In the upstairs bedrooms: a king bed, a twin bed, and two twins.
A twin pull-out in the main level family room
A twin pull-out in the basement
(a Pack n Play (portable crib) is also available for use for a small child)
The home has a private, fenced backyard for you to enjoy and, if you come in late April/early May, you will be treated to the spectacular display of our large azaleas that grace one entire side of the yard.
There is a large, beautiful park just a 5 minute walk from the house that has a large playground, a disc golf course, and a stream with walking trails. For you history buffs, the neighborhood was designed by landscape architect Frederick Law Olmstead who was a pioneer in suburban development and also the designer (in partnership with Calvert Vaux) of Central Park in New York City. Sudbrook Park is known as one of the very first 'suburbs' in the nation. There are many beautiful, historic homes to enjoy if you like to walk or run for exercise.
The house is just 20 minutes by car from downtown Baltimore, or, 1 mile from a metro station. It's 15 minutes from the train station where you could take a train to D.C., Philadelphia, or even New York, for the day. It's centrally located for lots of mid-East-coast tourism. With a car, it's less than 90 minutes from historic civil war sites like Antietam and Gettysburg, the bustling metros of Baltimore, D.C., and Philadelphia, and the lovely (and historic) state capitol town of Annapolis.
Lots of adventures to be had during the day, and a quiet place to come home to at night. Your home away from home is waiting for you!

Me and My Peeps!

Five of us (friends and family) gathered for a reunion to eat together, laugh together, and share a wonderful SONiA Disappear Fear concert! The location and accommodations could not have been better. Our host even provided baking sheets and a rolling pin for us to create our holiday cookies together. I hope to come back!

Cozy and Comfy!

My twins and I had come to Baltimore to see a concert that ended up being canceled and one thing that took the sting out of it was playing some Scrabble and hanging out in this cozy and charming home. The house makes you feel right at home on a quiet little sidestreet. Would love to visit again.

Great stay close to Baltimore

We enjoyed immensely our stay in this house. Lots of space. Great layout. Enjoyed its older charm. Made you feel like you were in Baltimore and kind of what it might be to live there. Enjoyed the neighborhood. Great location to play games and hang out but also close to downtown Baltimore so we could Be at the aquarium or restaurants or wherever in just 20 minutes. And the drives were fun. Would rent again.

Home away from home

We absolutely loved the property. The neighborhood was quiet and charming. The house was absolutely perfect for our family. My children asked if we could move there! They loved all the toys and books available! And as parents - it was so refreshing to have a child friendly home that was also comfortable for us too. We will be returning back to this home!

Perfect for family visit

The house was clean, charming, and perfectly located for us. With easy access to interstates and beautiful backroads, we were a short easy drive from all of our planned visits. I enjoyed morning walks through the quiet neighborhood to and around the nearby park. It was cold and rainy and the two space heaters really did the trick!

Delightful house, would be heaven for 2-4 year olds

The house was spacious and very kid friendly. They had a million games and toys for young kids. Bring a bunch of spare batteries! Lovely books and movies too, it was very homey and set up for families. Very pretty street with a variety of birds and trees. We were so grateful to have such a nice home to decompress in during our trip!
