A Little Unexpected. A Lot Extraordinary: Welcome to 9 Barthel Court. Tucked away on approximately 2.5 acres in the heart of Lutherville-Timonium, this freshly painted, one-of-a-kind contemporary home offers an incredible combination of privacy, space, and personality. With its distinctive reverse floor plan, expansive living areas, and playful surprises, this is anything but an ordinary home! Enter from the driveway or attached two-car garage into the upper-level living space, a generously sized area offering endless possibilities for a lounge, library, media room, or creative retreat. Down the hall, two spacious bedrooms each feature a private balcony and share a full bathroom. The primary suite is a peaceful escape, filled with natural light and featuring dual closets and a spacious en suite bath. Head downstairs to discover the heart of the home-an enormous gourmet kitchen designed for serious cooking. Featuring an induction cooktop, stainless steel appliances, and an additional commercial-style refrigerator/freezer, this kitchen is ready for everything from intimate dinners to fabulous gatherings. An expansive dining area and inviting living room with a cozy pellet-burning fireplace create a wonderful flow for everyday living and entertaining. And then there's the fun! A huge adjoining playroom features its very own slide, creating a whimsical space where little ones can play while staying close to the action. An additional bedroom or home office, full bathroom, and two generously sized utility rooms complete this level. Step outside and discover your own private oasis. Approximately 2.5 acres provide room to roam, relax, and entertain, while expansive patios off the kitchen invite outdoor dining, grilling, and gatherings under the stars. A unique above-ground concrete pool, approximately five feet deep, adds another dimension to this exceptional property. Recent improvements include a new roof and fresh interior and exterior paint, adding to the appeal of this truly distinctive home. Despite its wonderfully secluded setting, 9 Barthel Court is remarkably convenient to I-83 via Padonia Road or Falls Road, Greenspring Station, Mays Chapel shopping, restaurants, and everyday amenities.
