3045 Pinewood Ave blends the craftsmanship of a classic Baltimore home with extensive renovations that are stylish, thoughtful and refreshingly individual. Original details—including substantial millwork and touches of colorful stained glass—have been preserved and incorporated into a renovation that gives the home a distinctive character without losing its history.
The kitchen is unapologetically custom, with deep green cabinetry, distinctive handmade countertops, high-end appliances, an oversized range and hood, pot filler, brass sconces, dramatic tile and a large island with an unexpected botanical finish. The result is sophisticated but far from ordinary. Just off the kitchen, a dedicated laundry room with granite countertops, sink and cabinetry adds an unusually attractive and practical workspace. New flooring throughout the main and lower levels and refinished floors on the second level continue the transformation while complementing the home’s original character.
The three-bedroom floor plan includes a primary suite on the main level with a private full bath, while two additional bedrooms and another full bath occupy the upper level, where sloped ceilings, deep window ledges and original details add considerable charm. A new half bath on the main level adds everyday convenience.
The home’s systems have received significant attention as well. Four-zone hot-water radiant heat runs throughout the home, including radiant floors on the main level. The central air conditioning system was installed approximately six years ago, a tankless water heater provides on-demand hot water, and the roof is approximately seven years old.
The finished lower level adds approximately 600–700 square feet of living space, with a large recreation/family room, new half bath, exterior entrance and restored cast-iron radiators incorporated into the hot-water radiant heating system—including radiators marked “ORIOLES,” a wonderfully Baltimore detail. A tucked-away secret bonus room with multiple outlets adds an unusual and versatile space for an office, studio, hobby room or additional storage.
Outside, the fenced .30-acre lot feels remarkably expansive, with an above-ground pool with a new pump, mature landscaping, beautiful sumac and maple trees and multiple areas for outdoor living. A large two-level deck with built-in bench seating overlooks the yard, while a concrete patio and garden pond create another distinct outdoor space. A garage and additional off-street parking round out a property that offers an unusual amount of space and privacy within the city.
A house with history, a renovation with imagination, and enough personality to ensure it will never be confused with the one next door.
