TRUST ME! You want to see the dining room ceiling! C. 1900 in Maryland. $175,000

October 9, 2025

Mind blown by that ceiling in the dining room! It looks like something you would see in a gilded age ballroom, not in a simple row house in Maryland. I can only assume it was a designers showcase house or a person that worked for this plaster catalogue company. This is a high-relief plaster ceiling with coffered octagons and classical frieze of fruit, cherubs and scrollwork. This was a time period when baroque details and decor were hot, but to be in this house is crazy. It could have also come out of a fancier house or church. The house was built in 1900. It is located in Baltimore, Maryland. There are hardwood floors and even some decorative plasterwork in the living room. The basement even has pressed tin. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms and 1,285 square feet. $175,000
