Welcome to 5403 Purlington Way, a beautifully maintained Colonial nestled in the heart of historic Homeland, one of Baltimore’s most distinctive and coveted neighborhoods. Framed by mature landscaping, a classic white-painted brick and wood exterior, black shutters, slate roof, and blue-slate stone walkways, this charming residence blends timeless architectural character with thoughtful modern updates. The welcoming front porch, complete with a sky-blue beadboard ceiling and porch swing, sets the tone for a home that feels both gracious and inviting. Inside, hardwood floors, crown molding, plantation shutters, built-ins, and an abundance of natural light create an elegant backdrop throughout. The spacious living room features a wood-burning fireplace with brick hearth and decorative wood surround, built-in bookcases, and access to the side yard. The adjacent dining room offers a charming bump-out window, while the updated kitchen pairs neutral granite countertops and subway tile with stainless steel appliances, a new five-burner range, Bosch dishwasher, farmhouse double sink, breakfast bar, and storm door access to the rear yard. Upstairs, you will find three comfortable bedrooms feature hardwood flooring throughout. The primary suite offers dual closets and a vintage-inspired bath with classic cast-iron tub, while the Jack-and-Jill bath showcases marble flooring, glass tile extending to the ceiling, with timeless finishes. The finished lower level adds valuable living space with a cozy family room featuring exposed stone walls, wood-plank accents, built-in bench storage, recessed lighting, and natural light from window wells, plus a convenient half bath. A walk-up door provides direct access to the rear patio. The lower level also offers substantial storage in the utility room. The home has a natural-gas boiler, providing radiant heat throughout. The perfect feel while we enter the colder months of the year. Outside, enjoy a level, fenced rear yard with a raised garden bed, mature low-maintenance landscaping, slate patio and walkways, accent and motion lighting for both ambiance and security. The detached garage is an exceptional bonus, offering built-in storage, a workbench, a garage opener, paved alley access, matching slate roof, and an electrical rough-in for a future EV charger if desired. Located within Homeland's picturesque, Olmsted-planned streetscape, residents enjoy winding tree-lined roads, beautiful architecture, tranquil neighborhood lakes, and a strong sense of community—all while remaining close to Charles Street, York Road, Belvedere Square, Johns Hopkins, Loyola, Notre Dame, and the many cultural, dining, and recreational amenities of North Baltimore. Homeland is part of the Greater Homeland Historic District, recognized on the National Register of Historic Places for its distinctive landscape design and architectural character.
