Welcome to historic Dickeyville, a designated city, state, and federal landmark district and one of Baltimore’s most charming and distinctive neighborhoods. Nestled along the Gwynns Falls and adjacent to Leakin Park, this peaceful and tight-knit village offers a bucolic, residential atmosphere surrounded by natural beauty, all within close proximity to Interstates 70 and 695. Downtown Baltimore and BWI Airport are just 20 minutes away, and Catonsville is an easy 10-minute drive.
Dickeyville traces its origins to the 1750s as a textile mill village and was named after William J. Dickey, the last mill owner. Many of the existing homes were built in the early to mid-19th century, and in 1934, the entire village was sold to a developer who thoughtfully renovated the historic structures and built new homes in keeping with the original architectural style. The result is a beautifully preserved and cohesive community that feels like a step back in time—yet remains easily accessible to modern conveniences.
Built circa 1840, this grand stone home is one of the largest in the village, offering over 3,300 square feet of fully renovated and tastefully updated living space. Set atop a landscaped knoll in the heart of Dickeyville, the home provides both privacy and a central location, just a short walk from the Falls. The main entrance opens to a gracious center-hall foyer, leading to a spacious living room with a fireplace, built-in cabinetry, and large windows that overlook the picturesque front yard. Toward the back of the home, the formal dining room features a built-in china closet. A renovated butler’s pantry features generous storage and cabinetry. The adjacent kitchen has been completely renovated while maintaining the home’s historic charm. It features a large center island, high-end appliances, extensive storage, marble counters and backsplash, and a wall of windows offering serene views of the expansive, landscaped backyard. From the butler’s pantry, there is access to a two-car garage with an automatic door opener. A roomy den, which can serve as a first-floor bedroom or office, and a powder room complete the main level.
A main staircase from the foyer and a secondary staircase from the butler’s pantry both lead to the second floor. At the top of the main stairs is a sunlit conservatory with French doors that open to a private balcony overlooking the rear garden. The second level also features a large family room with a wood-burning fireplace and 75-inch flat-screen TV, a dedicated home office with custom built-in cabinetry, and a well-equipped laundry room with a washer/dryer, utility sink, ample cabinetry and counterspace. The bedroom wing includes a fully renovated hall bath and a comfortable secondary bedroom, along with a spacious primary suite. The primary bedroom offers two closets, a 50-inch flat-screen TV, and a luxurious ensuite bath with an oversized marble shower. Both bathrooms on this level are finished with marble flooring, and the primary bath has full-height marble tile walls.
On the third floor, you’ll find two additional generously sized bedrooms and unfinished attic storage space. The home also includes central air conditioning, Marvin replacement windows throughout (except for the balcony rooms), a slate roof, and a security system, blending modern comfort with timeless craftsmanship.
Rarely do homes of this size and caliber become available in Dickeyville. This is a truly exceptional opportunity to own one of the most distinguished and beautifully updated residences in one of Baltimore’s most treasured historic communities. A separate list of room features and dimensions is available upon request.
