Property Description
Why buy a home in Federal Hill without parking? At 1438 Battery Avenue, you come home to your own private off street parking pad, eliminating one of the neighborhood's biggest frustrations. Combined with an expansive two tier rooftop deck with panoramic Baltimore skyline views, this immaculate, truly turnkey residence delivers the lifestyle today's buyers are searching for. Lovingly maintained and thoughtfully improved by the current owner, this is a home you can purchase with confidence. The entire interior has been professionally painted, the rooftop deck has been power washed and is in excellent condition, the roof received a certification in June 2026, and both the HVAC system and hot water heater were replaced in 2024. Simply move in and enjoy. Located on a picturesque tree lined street, this classic Federal Hill brick rowhome blends historic charm with modern convenience. Original hardwood floors, exposed brick, a gas fireplace, built in shelving, and slate kitchen floors preserve the home's character, while the first floor laundry room, powder room, and direct access to the rear parking pad make everyday living effortless. The unfinished basement provides abundant storage for bicycles, seasonal items, and outdoor gear. The second floor features two spacious bedrooms and two full baths, including a private primary suite. The entire third floor is dedicated to a large flex space that easily serves as a home office, guest room, media room, Peloton room, fitness studio, or entertainment lounge. Unlike many Federal Hill homes, there are no spiral staircases. Traditional stairs provide comfortable access all the way to the rooftop. The spectacular two tier rooftop deck is an extension of the home's living space, offering panoramic city views and the perfect setting for entertaining, grilling, relaxing, or watching Baltimore's fireworks. Live just blocks from Riverside Park, the Baltimore Promenade, Cross Street Market, neighborhood restaurants, coffee shops, breweries, fitness studios, Harris Teeter, and local boutiques. Walk your dog in the park, bike along the waterfront, meet friends for brunch, or enjoy dinner just around the corner. The location is exceptionally convenient to Interstate 95, Downtown Baltimore, the Baltimore Peninsula, Camden Station with MARC Train service to Washington, DC, Camden Yards, and M and T Bank Stadium. It is also ideal for professionals working at the University of Maryland Medical Center, University of Maryland School of Medicine, University of Maryland School of Dentistry, Johns Hopkins Hospital, Johns Hopkins University, Mercy Medical Center, and the downtown business district. If you have been searching for an immaculate, move in ready Federal Hill townhome with private parking, a spectacular rooftop deck, flexible living space, updated mechanical systems, and timeless historic character in one of Baltimore's most walkable neighborhoods, your search ends here.
