2441 N Forest Park Ave, BALTIMORE

Tucked along the wooded banks of the Gwynns Falls, the historic village of Dickeyville offers something incredibly rare in Baltimore: a true sense of place. Here, the year moves not by the pages of a calendar, but by traditions passed from one neighbor to the next. In spring, residents gather with gloves and garden tools for the village clean-up, tending to cobblestone walkways and 19th-century stone walls with care. Summer arrives with bunting draped across porches and the hum of preparations for the neighborhood’s beloved Fourth of July celebration—a multi-day festival of homemade parades, open-air concerts, potluck dinners, and a pie bake-off that draws laughter and applause from every corner of the village. Fall brings cooler air and a communal bonfire, where stories are shared over bowls of chili and music drifts through the trees. Halloween transforms the neighborhood into a glowing patchwork of carved lanterns and creative porch displays, while winter offers door-to-door caroling, a cozy pancake breakfast, and a progressive New Year’s Eve dinner, each course served in a different warmly lit home. All year long, neighbors stop to chat on daily walks, join garden tours hosted by the local club, and take full advantage of the miles of trails and parkland that wrap around the village like a green belt of calm.

In the heart of this storybook setting sits a beautifully updated 1940s colonial—your opportunity to become part of the fabric of Dickeyville without the maintenance demands of the village’s oldest homes. Offering over 3,000 square feet across three finished levels, this home is rich in character, with original hardwood floors, exposed stone walls, copper and brass details, and two working fireplaces that make each season feel a little more magical. The remodeled kitchen opens to a flexible dining or living space, and the home’s layout includes an optional main-level bedroom or office with its own private porch entrance—ideal for quiet mornings or remote work. Upstairs, spacious bedrooms and elegantly updated bathrooms offer comfort and timeless appeal. The finished walk-out basement adds a generous rec room, a full bath with industrial loft touches, and ample storage. Outdoors, the home sits on one of the largest lots in the village, fully fenced and adorned with mature trees, decorative hardscaping, and multiple outdoor living spaces—including an elevated patio, original flagstone terrace, and a serene three-season screened porch.

With two single garages, a private driveway, and a prime location just steps from trails, parkland, and the river, this home offers a unique chance to step into a life where history, nature, and community intersect. Dickeyville is a registered historic district with an optional HOA of just $50 per year—proof that something truly special doesn’t have to come at a premium. Come take a walk through the village, meet a neighbor or two, and see for yourself what makes Dickeyville not just a place to live, but a place to belong.
