100 Bellemore Road, The Orchards, Baltimore.Hot House: Norman Revival House with Loads of Great Details. 3 Beds/4 Baths. 2,998 square feet. Asking price: $699,000.What: Located on the west side of Bellmore Road, this Norman Revival house has some of the hallmarks of the French Norman countryside, including the steeply pitched rooflines, iron-strapped door, arched doorways and more. The Norman style is not common, although there are a few good examples on Springlake Way in Homeland.Although this house looks simple on the exterior, you will see that it abounds with myriad details that make it special. As you enter, the first thing you notice is a graceful spiral staircase with wrought iron railings with a long window lighting the way. This is a similar feature to several of Palmer & Lamdin’s houses, which I suspect this might be. Arched doorways lead off the hallway to a large living room, dining room, kitchen and small bathroom.The living room features a curved window wall, a large fireplace with a mirror above it to bounce light from the curved window wall back into the room, plus a built-in bookcase and cabinet and matching corner cabinets adjacent to the bow window. The windows look like they may have originally been casements, but now they are two-over-two windows, an unusual combination.The large dining room has French doors which lead to the back yard and an alcove for a sideboard. The newly-remodeled kitchen has custom cherry cabinets and granite counters, some of which incorporate a breakfast bar. There is a significant amount of storage, including a long run of cabinets which make up the pantry. There is a powder room off the kitchen and front hall with custom cabinetry.The second floor features a large primary bedroom with the full bow window wall, an ensuite bath with a step-in shower, and a walk-in closet with a built-in vanity. The other two bedrooms share a Jack and Jill bathroom (access from both rooms).The very spacious wood-paneled family room on the lower level has a woodburning fireplace. There is space for an additional bedroom or office, with an adjoining full bath, and a large utility room with utility sinks.The grounds of this charming house included a stone patio with a koi pond and fountain, plus mature plantings that enhance its privacy. A two-car garage in the Norman manner with a cupola topping the roof is situated on a driveway that can accommodate additional cars. The property also included an additional half lot with access via a stone stairway.Where: The Orchards is a quiet neighborhood nestled between Northern Parkway, Lake Avenue, Roland Avenue and Charles Street. The houses range from large stone houses to Cape Cods situated along winding roads. The campus of the Bryn Mawr school is located in The Orchards and it’s a quick walk to Gilman, the Roland Park schools, and Boys’ Latin.Final Appraisal: The house was built in 1939, and it retains many of its original charming features. It’s in a great location in a neighborhood that prizes its community feeling. The listing for the house is here.All photographs from the listing.
