Homebuyers seeking a piece of Baltimore’s architectural heritage have a unique opportunity in the heart of the historic Guilford neighborhood. The 1914 Palmer & Lamdin estate at 4014 Greenway, a distinguished Italian Renaissance‑inspired residence, is now on the market.
Architectural significance and design
Designed by the renowned local firm Palmer & Lamdin, the home showcases the craftsmanship that defines Guilford’s celebrated streetscapes. Original features include arched French doors that flood the main level with natural light, a dramatic center hall with a sweeping staircase, and period‑appropriate fireplaces in both the formal living and dining rooms.
The dining room is highlighted by a striking Waterford chandelier, while the living room opens onto an expansive covered porch. A private den with its own powder room provides a quiet retreat.
Living spaces and modern updates
The above‑ground footprint spans roughly 6,488 square feet and contains seven bedrooms and two‑and‑a‑half baths on the second floor, plus a full third‑floor bath and bonus space suitable for a playroom, fitness area, or media room. The primary suite features a walk‑in closet, en‑suite bath, and an adjoining office or den that could be reconfigured into a dressing room.
The gourmet kitchen retains its original three‑inch terracotta flooring, a rare detail that underscores the home’s historic character. An adjoining breakfast room and mudroom blend historic charm with everyday convenience.
Basement and additional amenities
The lower level adds a spacious recreation room, half bath, workshop, utility areas, ample storage, and direct access to the outdoor entertaining spaces.
Outdoor features
Set on a landscaped 0.67‑acre corner lot at Greenway and Highfield Road, the property offers mature gardens, old‑growth trees, and generous lawns. An expansive brick patio with an outdoor kitchen provides an ideal setting for al‑fresco dining, while a covered porch offers a peaceful spot to enjoy the surroundings. A private putting green adds a recreational touch, and a detached two‑car garage with loft completes the estate’s amenities.
Location and neighborhood
Just steps from the renowned Sherwood Gardens, the home enjoys one of Guilford’s most desirable settings. Guilford is known for its tree‑lined streets, historic architecture, and designation on the National Register of Historic Places. Residents benefit from easy access to shops and restaurants along St. Paul Street and Roland Avenue, nearby schools, cultural institutions, and downtown Baltimore.
For those who value both historic significance and modern livability, 4014 Greenway represents a rare blend of timeless design and contemporary comfort in a central Baltimore location.
