Property Description

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!
