Nestled on the hilltop corner of Tunbridge and Tilbury Roads in Homeland is 308 Tunbridge, designed in the Tudor Revival style by Harold A. Stilwell in 1929. Stilwell also designed Tudor Revival homes at 117 St. Albans, 313 Thornhill and 312, 319, & 322 Broxton Streets. Before this, he was responsible for nine houses in Guilford, several others in North Roland Park and he served as principal architect for homes in Stoneleigh from 1922 to 1953. Yet this Homeland property is unique for its execution in a distinctive green stone that was formed millions of years when a dramatic shift of the earth's tectonic plates produced this rock from a now-vanished ocean floor.
The house is set picturesquely on the lot surrounded by stately trees, natural beauty of the rolling terrain, and nearby Homeland lakes. The location is in proximity to numerous schools, there is easy access to downtown, and the two-car garage and driveway parking for several additional cars is a real plus. This is a perfect home for gracious living and entertaining on the first floor with several rooms opening onto an adjacent private patio. With four to five bedrooms, 3 baths, numerous built-ins and storage on all floors, the house has ample spaces to live and work from home.
