227 Ashland Rd, Cockeysville, MD 21030

Located in stunning, historic Ashland at the start of the NCR trail, this 4-bedroom home was renovated by award-winning architect Peter Twohy for himself and his family. With a perfect meld of convenience, serenity and incomparable beauty, this home features modern luxury and thoughtful design elements that you will not find in any other home. The flow of this house is perfect, with light-filled entertaining and living spaces on the main level, four bedrooms and two custom baths on the second level, a huge lower level, and a sunny landscaped yard accessed from a large front porch and rear deck. The heart of the home is the reimagined kitchen, now dramatically larger and oriented toward the rear deck and landscaped yard. Unlike most homes in the neighborhood, this space comfortably accommodates a graciously sized artistically designed island. Hardwood floors, custom maple cabinets, granite countertops, tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances make this a beautiful space to gather, cook, and eat. A massive, integrated wall pantry discreetly conceals a built-in desk, seamlessly blending function with aesthetics. The kitchen opens to a cozy family room, complete with fireplace with pellet stove, and a much-loved breakfast room at the other end. A formal living room (or home office), dining room and half bath complete this level. The Primary Suite is a serene retreat, featuring a spa-inspired bathroom with a sculptural soaking tub, a sleek double vanity, and an exquisite dual-head shower with two walls of glass—welcoming in the morning light while maintaining complete privacy. Plenty of space to relax, plus a walk-in closet completes this suite. There are three additional large bedrooms on the second level, and the reconfigured Hall Bath has been expanded to accommodate a floating double vanity with a dramatic, oversized mirror and shower with glass door - a transformation that has made both children and guests very happy. Recent updates to the roof, siding, and mechanical systems, and an HOA that covers all lawn care and snow removal guarantee you’ll experience year-round easy living. While minutes away from Hunt Valley Town Centre and York Road, the historic Ashland community is set in an oasis of nature. Imagine a life where you walk out your door and are mere steps from the NCR Trail, the most beautiful trail and nature preserve in Baltimore County. Hop on your bike and you can ride all the way to Pennsylvania! Or perhaps a daily amble with your morning coffee, soaking in the birdsong, is more your speed. Either way, you can’t duplicate the experience of living in this gorgeous and expertly customized home!
