Unique features: Many VIPs, from political dignitaries to prominent athletes, have crossed the threshold of this proud old Georgian-style home. Several U.S. presidents are said to have been entertained at the elegant brick residence, as have noted church leaders and business moguls. Most recently, a Hollywood actress reportedly lived there while filming a TV series in the city.

The three-story home in North Baltimore has 12-foot ceilings, a saltwater pool and a movie theater. Built in 1926, the 1.5-acre estate sits on a quiet street near Loyola University. Graceful arched doorways, mindful of Monticello, prevail throughout the home and its 12,000 square feet of living space.

There are six bedrooms and seven bathrooms, including five full, in the main house, which also features a library, music room, elevator, wet bar and — count ’em — seven working fireplaces. Floors range from marble to hardwood. The kitchen boasts marble countertops, custom cabinets and two dishwashers.

A covered porch leads to a four-car garage, above which sits a private, two-bedroom, two-bath suite with kitchenette. Close by is the heated oval pool (rounded edges are a theme throughout) and a pool house, with bath and a gym. The grounds are laced with several patios, a sunken garden and stone and brick pathways.
