What: This apartment in the Roland Park Condominiums (formerly the Roland Park Apartments) has just listed and has an offer pending. It is one of the group’s rare four bedroom units — in Manhattan real estate terms, “a classic seven.” Formal living room, formal dining room, kitchen, four bedrooms and two baths. The long, west-facing, glassed-in porch adds several hundred square feet of space, and provides a wall of light that streams into the high-ceilinged rooms. Kitchen and baths are updated, and the floors have been refinished. For anyone who loves Roland Park but has no interest in maintaining one of its big old homes, these apartments are the natural choice. In addition to possessing all the charms of the houses, it has a beautiful courtyard garden for communing with nature and pulling the occasional weed. There are five buildings that make up the Condominiums, at five stories each. Designed by Baltimore architect Edward Palmer and built in 1920, the style is reminiscent of the French Renaissance with its embellishments, arches and courtyards. They were designed with detached stables, since converted into garages, which are of architectural interest themselves. There are no amenities of the type you would find in Harbor East — gym, common rooms, swimming pool — but there is the architecture, the neighborhood and the two foot thick walls. There is a little office under the archway, open 8:30 -5PM, for mail and package delivery and security. The residents here are a diverse group, who like to socialize. That said, it is a perfect location for people who travel. Just turn the key and go.
