5211 Springlake Way Baltimore, MD 21212

Enjoy Spring on Springlake Way! Rare opportunity to update a special Palmer Lambdin Southern Colonial home in a prime location of the desirable Historic district of Homeland. It is peacefully perched on a gentle hill overlooking the Homeland Lakes. It features mature landscaping such as a large Magnolia and colorful azaleas. The exterior stone work is exquisite, front and rear. There are five porches including some that are screened. Its white washed brick exterior is original and must be preserved , not painted. The copper roof was replaced about five years ago. it should last a life time. While this home needs some updates, its original charm and details are well preserved. The 95 year old hardwood floors are in excellent condition. The custom millwork is very special. There are French doors from the living room to the screened porch as well as from the primary bedroom to its front and rear porches. Its center hall features a special staircase. One of the three bathrooms has been recently renovated. The other two are very attractive vintage baths. Due to lack of use the second floor baths need plumbing updates. The primary bedroom is large, has two porches with great views and a spacious primary bath (for 1931). The kitchen is older but has high quality cherry cabinets. Access screened porches from the den. The basement features a large family room with a stone woodburning fireplace and stone walls. It has an adjoining half bath, laundry and storage area. This is a manageable sized spacious, elegant and comfortable home. It needs work, but lots of its components are in very good condition. It is certainly not a gut job. It could be a good candidate for Historic restoration tax credits. Current photos will be posted as soon as the snow melts to allow access. This home is priced for a quick sale to settle an estate and is being offered totally as is.
