About this home
Historic Mansion in Mount Vernon, Baltimore: A Gilded Age Masterpiece
Nestled in the heart of Baltimore’s esteemed Mount Vernon neighborhood, this meticulously restored 6,900+ sq. ft. brownstone offers a rare blend of historic grandeur and modern luxury. Originally constructed in the 1880s, the residence was home at the turn of the century to the Knabe family, renowned piano makers who expanded the house in a way that reflected their social standing and suited their penchant for throwing parties that regularly made the society pages. This spectacular home boasts six bedrooms with three full and two half bathrooms, ensuring ample space for family and guests, and an elevator for easy access to all floors.

Great Room: The former conservatory is a breathtaking highlight, featuring 10 solid Italian marble columns, a milk-glass ceiling and intricately carved plaster and woodwork. Formal Living Room: With ornate plasterwork and a stunning chandelier, the large living room provides a sophisticated setting for entertaining.
Dining Room: The walls and coffered ceiling of the 500+ sq. ft. dining room are paneled in old-growth mahogany, lovingly restored. The room also features quarter sawn white oak parquet flooring with walnut and maple inlays and a grand fireplace.
Primary Suite: The expansive primary bedroom on the second floor has a spa-like en-suite bathroom, featuring dual vanities, a freestanding Kohler BubbleMassageTM tub, and a spacious zero-entry shower with contemporary tilework; completing the suite is a large sitting room (or additional bedroom). Third Level: Four large bedrooms and two full baths (one en-suite). Additional Spaces: Two beautiful, spacious offices, one on the first floor and one on the second (the latter also suitable for a nursery). in the attic and the huge basement, which also houses a large workshop and a workout room.
Architectural Details: In addition to the gorgeous woodwork throughout, the home has a beautifully restored brownstone-and-brick façade. The interior retains a number of historic leaded glass windows, an ornate stained glass skylight above the staircase, and 11 fireplaces, many surrounded by original antique tiles.
Outdoor Amenities: Beneath the house is a garage for up to two cars. At the rear of the house is a walled courtyard with a garden that includes an espalier apple tree, a weeping cherry, and hydrangeas, and room for additional parking for four cars.
