    What's special

    Stone pathwaysKoi pondFenced yardMature treesHardwood floorsFull front porchFour spacious bedrooms
    A rare acre of land inside Baltimore City, a beautiful home set back from the road and backing up to a wooded, park‑like setting, 202 S Athol Ave offers space, privacy, and possibility that almost never come to market. This 4BR, nearly 2,000 sq ft home sits on over an acre of usable land—ideal for gardening, homesteading, play, pets, or future expansion (buyer to verify). This beauty is back on the market because the buyer's financing fell through, not because of any inspection issues. Set on land once belonging to the storied Athol Estate, this property has a thread of Baltimore heritage woven into its landscape. In the late 1800s, industrialist Charles J. Baker built the grand stone Athol mansion just up the hill—a once prominent estate surrounded by 28 acres of gardens, stables, and recreation grounds. As the city grew and the estate was gradually subdivided, homes like this one emerged along S. Athol Avenue, still retaining the large, wooded acreage. The sun rises on east facing front porch and stone pathways. The mature trees, fenced yard, and koi pond create a true retreat. Inside, the classic details truly shine- hardwood floors, a wood‑burning fireplace, original pocket doors leading to the formal dining room, and a sunroom/enclosed side porch that adds flexible living space. The rear deck off the kitchen is perfect for outdoor dining or morning coffee. Major improvements include a new water main, updated PEX plumbing, energy‑efficient windows, French drain with dual sump pumps, and mini‑split HVAC on the bedroom level. Four generous bedrooms with closets, plus a finished upper level provide options for office, studio, or guest space. Parking for 4+ cars. For buyers who want land and community, this property hits the sweet spot. With over an acre of usable space, you’ll have room for gardens, pollinator beds, chickens, shared outdoor areas, or collaborative projects with friends and neighbors. A diverse neighborhood, 6 mins to exit 13 on West Hwy 695 If you dream of growing your own food, hosting outdoor dinners, having extra space for a studio or workshop, or simply having space to breathe while staying rooted in Baltimore’s culture, this home delivers! Don't sleep on this chance to build a modern, community‑minded life on a historic piece of land.
