A home admired for generations, this 1941 stone beauty in Towson’s Knollwood—historically known as Rodgers Forge Summit—feels like a storybook castle the moment you arrive. Crafted of the finest materials, it offers soaring ceilings, solid mahogany doors, and remarkable construction details rarely found today. The main level’s parquet flooring is stylized with an inlay border and is mounted over concrete, creating wonderfully insulated rooms that stay cool all summer long.
Surprises unfold at every turn: a spacious main floor family room that easily serves as a fourth bedroom, a finished lower level with space for a pool table, and graciously scaled living and dining rooms. From the dining room, step onto the covered stone porch overlooking the grounds, or head upstairs where the second bedroom opens to a private balcony. The primary suite features a walk in closet and an original vintage bath adorned with whimsical flamingo and fish tile—an absolute treasure. Two additional bedrooms share a hall bath with its own charming seagull tile.
Outside, the property expands into a sweeping yard complete with gazebo, patios, and mature landscaping. The home’s stone façade is entirely original, and its orientation once faced Stevenson Lane—adding to its unique architectural history. The tiled roof, replaced approximately 17 years ago, is built to last close to a century.
For those seeking even more space, possibilities abound: expand into a portion of the three-car garage or finish the enormous attic, already framed with four windows. A rare Towson offering with character, craftsmanship, and endless potential—this is the stone house that has captured your imagination for years, ready to welcome you home.
