A truly exceptional piece of Northern Baltimore County history! Historically significant Hill House, constructed circa 1879, has been meticulously maintained and thoughtfully updated while preserving the warmth, craftsmanship and architectural character of its original Second Empire design. Set on 4.17 beautifully landscaped, level acres in the coveted Hereford School District, this remarkable property offers the rare opportunity to enjoy the character of a 19th-century estate with the comfort and convenience of today's lifestyle. From the moment you enter the spacious center hall, the quality and character of the home are unmistakable. A graceful staircase rises through four curving flights, while tall ceilings and doorways, intricate original trim, gorgeous wood floors, plaster walls, paneled doors and beautifully preserved architectural details throughout reflect the craftsmanship of another era. Broad arched openings connect the gracious living spaces, including a stunning marble mantel in the north parlor and an elegant dining room with its original mantel. With 6 bedrooms and 4.5 baths, Hill House offers exceptional space and flexibility. The beautifully updated "foodie" kitchen has been designed for today's lifestyle while blending seamlessly with the historic character of the home. Comfortable bedrooms and en-suite baths provide wonderful accommodations, while the spectacular third-floor owner's suite creates a private retreat. Previously operated as a bed and breakfast, the home's generous proportions and flexible floor plan offer numerous possibilities for today's owners. The exterior is equally captivating. Wonderful porches, decks and patios invite outdoor living, while a private deck with hot tub overlooks the park-like grounds. Williamsburg-style gardens, extensive perennial plantings, mature shade trees and expansive lawns create a remarkably peaceful and secluded oasis. A charming old stone cellar with wine storage adds another memorable piece of the property's history. A flexible outbuilding, currently used as a woodworking shop, includes its own attached deck and separate parking area. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the property's proximity to the Torrey C. Brown Rail Trail (NCR Trail) and Prettyboy Reservoir, offering abundant opportunities for hiking, biking, fishing and enjoying the natural beauty of northern Baltimore County. The location also offers an exceptional balance of privacy and convenience—approximately 20 minutes to Towson and 20 minutes to York, Pennsylvania.
