Unique features: Imagine standing on the doorstep of this elegant, nearly $4.25 million home for sale, only to gaze in awe at the house across the street. That’s where the late Brooks Robinson lived.

Robinson, the Orioles’ Hall of Fame third baseman, passed away in 2023. But his time spent in this chic Owings Mills neighborhood adds to the allure of the on-the-market home adjacent to Caves Valley Golf Club. Here, one can sit on the roof deck and hear the muted thwack! of tee shots coming from the 9th hole, a par-4 dandy just beyond a copse of trees on the nearly 2.5-acre property.

The house itself, a dizzying 11,000 square feet of marble and mahogany opulence, seems to go on forever. There are four bedrooms and eight bathrooms on two levels; getting lost in the rambling premises is a pleasant option. An elevator helps tie the whole place together, from the spiral staircase and marble spa bath to the two fireplaces and a mahogany library, which is straight out of Downton Abbey. Cherry cabinets and built-ins throughout add a richness to the stone-and-stucco residence, built in 2001.

For leisure, there’s a billiard room, wet bar, weight room and indoor putting green with driving range. The outside is peppered with covered porches, expansive patios and a koi pond — which is too far from the golf course to be considered a water hazard, save for the most errant duffers.
