A meticulously restored mansion in Baltimore’s Mount Vernon neighborhood just hit the market. 

Originally constructed in the 1880s, The Knabe House was once home to the Knabe family, renowned piano makers who, at the turn of the century, expanded the residence to reflect their status and lively social life. This 6,900+ square foot brownstone offers a rare blend of historic grandeur and modern luxury, and includes seven bedrooms, three full bathrooms, two half bathrooms and an elevator.

Some of the home’s more striking features include the former conservatory turned great room, flanked by ten solid Italian marble columns, and featuring intricately carved paster and woodwork, and a milk-glass ceiling, and a dining room with paneled walls and a coffered ceiling in old-growth mahogany. There is also a formal living room with ornate plasterwork and a stunning chandelier. 

The interior also retains a number of historic leaded glass windows, an ornate stained-glass skylight above the staircase, and eleven fireplaces, many surrounded by original antique tiles.

Amidst the backdrop of The Knabe House's lovingly restored historic features are a number of modern luxuries. Designed for the culinary enthusiast, the gourmet kitchen is equipped with Thermador appliances, matte quartzite countertops, mother-of-pearl backsplash and pale blue cabinetry. There is also table space and a wet bar with a wine fridge and dark cabinetry.

The expansive primary bedroom on the second floor has a spa-like en-suite bathroom, featuring dual vanities, a freestanding Kohler BubbleMassage™ tub, and a spacious zero-entry shower with contemporary tilework. Completing the suite is a large sitting room, which could be used as an additional bedroom. Beyond the bedrooms, the home features two beautiful, spacious offices—one on the first floor and one on the second (which is also suitable for a nursery).

The Knabe House is equipped with multiple HVAC systems, providing year-round comfort on every floor, and there is a laundry room on the second floor. There is also 4,000+ square feet of storage space in the attic and basement, which also houses a large workshop and a workout room.

Beneath the house is a garage for two cars, and at the rear of the house is a walled courtyard with a garden that includes an espalier apple tree, a weeping cherry, and hydrangeas, and room for additional parking for four cars. A spacious deck off of the great room, shaded by a large magnolia tree, is ideal for entertaining.

The Knabe House is a short walk from Penn Station, for easy and efficient commuting access to Washington, DC, Philadelphia and New York.

The Knabe House is selling for $2,999,000 and is available to tour by appointment. For additional information, please see KnabeHouse.com or contact agent Brian DiNardo, with Garner + Co | Cummings & Co Realty, at 410-916-3693 or briandinardo@gmail.com.
