From the Zillow listing:
Welcome to 2900 Saint Paul St. This glorious Victorian sits on a very large lot, just a block or two from the Johns Hopkins University campus in the desirable, walkable community of Charles Village. Built as a country home for the Polk family in 1879, it was one of the first homes in the area. Designed by architect Charles Cassell, whose resume includes many other noted works. It includes voluminous finished space on three levels above grade with a full basement that includes all full height rooms. The basement has direct access to the large, fully fenced rear yard. This iron fence is original to the property. Additionally, there are five garages at the back of the property. It will be a labor of love to bring this home back to the grand state it was in some time ago. The listing documents include a significant volume of information from various sources about the property and its history. Sold as is.
