Classic charmer in Historic Lutherville! Offered by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, this is a rare chance to purchase the Landon House Annex. Designed by famed architects Andrew Jackson Downing and Calvert Vaux and built ca. 1880, this property was originally an annex to Landon House (located across the street) to accommodate additional guests for overnight stays and dining. It is on a double lot (0.475 acres plus 0.35 acres), and in addition to the main house there is a later detached garage, a chicken coop, and a charming gazebo in the beautiful yard and gardens. There are two lovely porches on the front of the home with ornate woodwork. The first floor features a gracious front hall, light-filled living room, den or office, oversized dining room, an eat-in kitchen, and a full bath. There are four bedrooms and a full bath on the second level, and two large rooms on the third level. The basement is clean and unfinished. The roof was replaced in 2017 and there is a newer heating system. This home will transfer with a preservation easement which will be held by the National Trust. The easement protects the exterior and grounds of the property so any changes to these areas must be made with the prior approval of the National Trust. The National Trust is seeking the perfect steward for this historic, well-preserved and important property and will be interviewing potential buyers. If you have always dreamed of owning a historic property, this is your opportunity to realize that dream! Tax info displayed is just for one of the lots.
