Long term owners of over 20+ years have lovingly cared for this beautiful home. The house has an addition off the back that has a big living room, fireplace, a half-bath, as well as a big covered back porch and full deck beyond it. Also added was a big master suite upstairs with a walk-in closet. The front porch was redone with teak/mohena floorboards, inside a new more open layout (so you can see the back yard while entering the front door), refurbished, two-toned hardwood flooring, a great basement music/hang-out room (guaranteed waterproof with sump pump), PLUS a tall addition to the 3rd floor which raised the roofline and added significant square footage let alone views of the sky, rooftops and trees. Central air and heat throughout and a newer Mitsubishi mini-split wall unit on the 3rd floor. Total square footage above grade is now 2372. The new room on the 3rd floor has been enjoyed as a bedroom, and studio space. This housealong with its Secret Garden-like back yard with a tall wood fence, beautiful garden and several stand-out flowering trees and a deep fish pond with 2 big koiis a centerpiece of this neighborhood that is one of the best kept secrets in Baltimore, on the edge of Mt Washington near Falls Rd, walking-distance down a quiet dirt road from Whole Foods, Mt. Washington Village, and the light rail to Camden Yards. 5605 Mattfeldt ALSO shares, with all the other houses in this serene enclave, an official-but-nameless 5-acre Baltimore City Park as a front yardacross the slow, speed-humped street and also there possibly the largest oak tree in Baltimore.
