Historic Home in the Heart of Baltimore's Architectural Center This restored mid-19th century home is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Baltimore's rich history. Originally built in the 1850's for the daughter of the then Attorney General of Virginia, the residence has been lovingly restored to preserve its history while introducing modern luxuries. Elegant and Versatile Private Suite on First Level: A Seamless Blend of Home and Work Upon arrival, the grand double mahogany entryway welcomes you into a sophisticated flagstone floored large reception room, that leads to a beautifully designed, self contained space with 3 large rooms, 2 powder rooms and a well appointed 2nd kitchen. Ideal for a studio, gallery or executive office and provides the perfect setup for work-from-home professionals or creative entrepreneurs. The second floor showcases a gorgeous parlor with high ceilings, period details, a working wood burning fireplace, and floor to ceiling windows. The large gourmet kitchen is stunning, designed by a local artist, with top of the line 6 burner Bertazzoni gas stove and exhaust, farmhouse porcelain sink, ceiling height custom cabinets, large windows overlooking a charming courtyard. A magnificent adjoining dining room seamlessly flows out to an expansive roof terrace---a peaceful retreat that feels miles away from the city bustle, and is ideal for hosting unforgettable gatherings. On the rear 2nd level is an office/bedroom, with beautiful new full bath and walk-in shower. The third floor features two spacious bedrooms, each with an en-suite bath, offering privacy and comfort. The tasteful primary full bath features a porcelain soaking tub, brass fixtures and marble floor. Beautiful light abounds from all of the windows! The brick and mature gardens, both front and side, are absolutely lovely! Wrought Iron details on the upper roof terrace are amazing! Off street parking for 3 cars...a rare find! EV charger in rear parking area makes electric vehicle ownership seamless. Located just half a mile from Penn Station, with easy access to Washington, DC, Philadelphia, and NYC, this beautiful home is perfectly positioned and the neighbors are superb...Walter's Art Gallery, Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, Peabody Library, Center Stage, Fine Restaurants, Historic Parks and the Original monument to George Washington!

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
