Property Description
Where architectural individuality and stately shade trees define the neighborhood, this exceptional residence stands apart as one of its most unique offerings. Built in 1980 on the site of a former church, this fully detached single-family home is thoughtfully positioned sideways along the community's largest park, allowing its entire south-facing facade to capture natural light and serene views of mature trees and open green space. Accessed through a secure, gated courtyard shared by just three residences, offering both privacy and intimacy. For years, the gated courtyard has provided residents' children and grandchildren with their own secure playground in the heart of the city's inner harbor. This home is full of surprises! The front door opens to a dramatic main level designed for both comfort and entertaining. Multiple living and sitting areas are anchored by two wood-burning fireplaces at opposite ends, creating warmth and balance throughout. A fully updated kitchen, an adjoining dining room, a cozy family room, and a powder room complete the main level with both style and functionality. Upstairs, an open staircase leads to a striking sunroom, where vaulted ceilings and a wall of windows and sliding doors frame elevated, tree-lined views-evoking the quiet charm of a private retreat. The primary suite offers vaulted ceilings, a spacious walk-in closet and a beautifully appointed bath, while two additional bedrooms and a second full bath provide ample accommodations for family or guests. The home continues to surprise with a generously sized lower level, featuring a large bonus room - ideal for hobbies, storage, or creative pursuits, a laundry area, and a large utility space. French doors on the first floor open to two private patios, providing space for outdoor entertaining. Often described as Federal Hill's quieter and more elegant neighbor, Otterbein is a perfect neighborhood for those with an appreciation for beautiful architecture and the multiple pristine parks that host summer concerts, families, and their pups. Otterbein remains a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of commercial business. Due to the historic nature of these handsome residences, many of them do not provide an off-street parking space, however, they do provide beautiful outdoor living spaces free of telephone poles and electric lines. A zero tolerance parking policy is strictly enforced. Up to two registered car decals and 2 guest parking permits are provided to Area 8 residents. You won't sacrifice convenience to live here. I-95, MARC train, two major league stadiums, shops, Inner Harbor, restaurants, and entertainment are just blocks away.
