A Mill Village on the Gwynns Falls, Right at the City Line

Dickeyville is a village of about 140 homes on the western edge of Baltimore, where the city line meets the county. It sits on the Gwynns Falls beside Leakin Park, near where I-70 meets the Beltway, and the Gwynns Falls Trail starts here. Two main roads, Wetheredsville Road and Pickwick Road, carry most of it, with Hillhouse Road, Tucker Lane and Sekots Road off them. Mail goes to ZIP 21207.

Mills have stood along this stretch of the stream since the 1700s. In 1829 the Wethered brothers turned the paper mill here into a woolen mill and built stone houses for their workers, and the village took their name. William J. Dickey bought the mills and much of the village in 1871, and after his death in 1896 it was renamed for him. When the mills closed, the village slid downhill. In 1934 the property sold at auction and a developer restored most of the old houses instead of tearing them down.

Baltimore City named Dickeyville a historic district in 1969, and it went on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.

What the Historic District Means When You Sell

Because Dickeyville is a city historic district, the exterior of every house is regulated. Changing an architectural feature, repainting in a different color, putting up a fence, digging or demolishing all need a permit. The city will not issue that permit until the Commission for Historical and Architectural Preservation, known as CHAP, grants an Authorization to Proceed. The Dickeyville Community Association's architectural committee also reviews exterior changes.

For an owner, that is a big part of what keeps the village looking the way it does. For a seller with a house that needs exterior work, it changes who will buy. A retail buyer who loves the street may lose interest once they learn the new windows, the slate repair or the pointing on a stone wall will need approval and materials that match.

We buy with all of that still ahead. The approvals and the work become our problem after closing.

Old Stone Houses, and Newer Ones Beside Them

The village itself is mostly stone and frame houses from the 1800s, with homes added after the 1934 restoration that were built to blend in. The Census block group that covers Dickeyville reaches past the old streets, so its numbers lean toward newer housing. It counts about 395 homes, most built in the 1970s and 1990s, and more than half of them attached.

Those two kinds of housing sell for different reasons. An old house in the village usually comes up because of an estate or exterior work the owner cannot take on. Roughly seven in ten of the attached homes are rented, so a sale on that side of the block group is more often a landlord ready to stop.

We Buy Dickeyville Houses in Any Condition

You do not have to clean it out, fix it up, or throw anything away. These are real houses we have walked through. We buy them as they sit.

A damp basement and dated mechanicals. We still buy it.
Unfinished basement with exposed wall framing, sagging insulation overhead and block walls
Exposed framing, sagging insulation. Nothing needs fixing first.
Storage building packed with shelving, bins and household items up to the open rafters
Packed to the rafters. You can leave all of it.

Still furnished. Take what matters, leave the rest.
Living room with moving boxes, pillows and stacked belongings covering the floor
Boxes and belongings everywhere. You do not have to clear them.
Room mid-move with a paint-marked table, storage boxes and items left out

If your house looks like any of these, it is exactly what we buy.

Fixing It to Historic Standards Before You List

Exterior repairs on a historic house cost more and take longer than the same repairs elsewhere. Wood windows are repaired or replaced to match, slate roofs are repaired with slate, and old stone walls are repointed with a mortar suited to the stone. Each change waits on its approval before work can start. Meanwhile you carry Baltimore City property tax at $2.248 for every $100 of assessed value, plus insurance and utilities on a house you may not be living in.

A house in good shape will usually do best listed with an agent who knows the village, and we will tell you that. If the exterior needs real work and you would rather not manage it, weigh our as-is number against what restoring it to the district's standards would cost you first.

Our Promise to You

What You Can Hold Us To When You Sell

We are a family business in Parkville, and we buy houses in the same counties where we live and shop. If we treat a seller badly, we will hear about it from people we know. These are the four things we promise on every house.

The number holds

The offer we agree on is the number on your settlement statement, as long as the house matches what you told us on the phone. If the walkthrough shows something big that never came up, we show you exactly what changed before anything moves forward.

A contract you can read

Our purchase agreement is written in plain English. Take it home, show it to family or an attorney, and ask us about any line before you sign.

You pick the date

Tell us the closing date you need on the first call. If we cannot make it, we say so then, before you have committed to anything.

The truth, even if we lose the deal

If your house would sell for more with an agent, we will tell you. Some people do not need a cash buyer, and we would rather you hear that from us.

Dickeyville Sellers Ask Us

No. Selling a house does not need an Authorization to Proceed. CHAP review applies to exterior work: alterations, repainting in a new color, fences, excavation and demolition. We buy the house as it stands, and any exterior work after closing goes through the permit and CHAP process on our side.
Usually, yes. Tell us what it is on the first call. Unpermitted exterior changes in a historic district are something we price in, the same way we price a roof or a furnace. You do not have to correct it before closing.
It depends heavily on which house. A restored stone house on Pickwick Road and a townhome on the edge of the neighborhood are different properties with different buyers. We look at recent sales in and around the village and show you the comparisons behind our offer.
Probate for a city house runs through the Register of Wills for Baltimore City, and the personal representative it appoints is normally the one who signs. Terms can be set before the appointment, with closing after. A probate attorney can answer questions about the estate itself.
No. Take what matters to you. Furniture, papers and everything in the basement can stay.
No. No agent commissions, no closing costs and no fees of any kind. The agreed price is yours, less any lender payoff or city balance.
Selling ahead of the foreclosure date would close out the case with your equity protected, though it is far from the only route. Call your servicer and a free HUD-approved housing counselor to hear the others, and talk to an attorney about the case in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City.
