Property Description
Due to an unexpected medical emergency, the previous contract has fallen through, offering a rare second chance to own this exceptional, fully renovated residence where timeless charm meets contemporary sophistication. Thoughtfully redesigned for comfort, style, and functionality, this home seamlessly blends elegant living with modern convenience across every level. From the moment you step inside, you're welcomed by a warm, inviting ambiance and refined finishes throughout. The expansive living and dining areas are ideal for entertaining or quiet evenings at home. Large windows flood the dining room with natural light, perfect for everything from celebratory dinners to casual brunches. Just beyond the beautifully updated powder room (2024) lies the heart of the home: a reimagined eat-in kitchen anchored by a large center island (2024), luxurious quartz countertops (2024), a 6-burner professional Viking range, and a 150-bottle wine refrigerator (2024). The kitchen flows into a cozy family room featuring radiant heated tile floors, exposed brick, and a double-sided Simplifire fireplace, creating a warm and character-filled space. From here, step into your private courtyard oasis, complete with a gas grill hookup and a handcrafted BEVOLO brass gas lamp from New Orleans, ideal for morning coffee, evening cocktails, or unforgettable alfresco dinners. Two staircases lead to the second level, where a spacious primary suite offers a peaceful retreat. Two fully renovated bathrooms (2024) showcase sleek, modern design, while a central laundry area adds daily convenience. A versatile family room on this level provides flexible space for work, play, or relaxation. The top floor, accessed via two additional staircases, features two generously sized bedrooms with soaring 9.5-foot ceilings. The rear bedroom offers a breathtaking view of the iconic Domino Sugar sign, a striking reminder of Baltimore's rich industrial past. Additional upgrades enhance both comfort and peace of mind, including three HVAC zones, one powered by a brand-new 2-ton heat pump installed in 2024, and a new roof over the family room (2024). The home also offers the option to lease a parking space located directly behind the property, a rare convenience in the city. As an added bonus, a transferable membership to the coveted Otterbein Swim Club is included with the sale. This is more than a home, it's a lifestyle. Nestled in one of Baltimore's most cherished neighborhoods, this residence offers the perfect balance of historic character and modern luxury. Welcome home!
