516 E 39th St Baltimore, MD 21218

On the top of a Pen Lucy hill, every finish has been updated! 16th century Tudor details impeccably presented by way of 1930s craftsmanship, this stately duplex overlooks the 39th Street bike lane, impressing all with its stately arches, its pronounced half-timbered accents, and the stunning crown of a Jacobean-style chimney atop... Within, the home meets every expectation that's been loftily set by the outside as every surface and space has been updated and refreshed. Oak hardwoods have been restored and refinished, countertops, sinks, fixtures have all been replaced. Once a porch, a sun room enjoys the arched windows. In the living room two windows balance the home's width as they counter a large brick hearth fireplace. A half bath has been updated off the foyer where an open reception area splays towards the dining and kitchen. The kitchen is a jewel of function and form where its former 90s shell has been shed for a fresh yet timeless aesthetic. From the second-floor landing, a bedroom is found in the rear with a private deck and corner windows. To the left of the landing, a modest sized bedroom (with great office potential) is beside an updated full bath. The primary bedroom enjoys a pair of front-facing windows and a third window on the western side of the house as well as an updated private bath. On the third floor, one finds the real show-stopper. With built-in shelves and the dramatic cathedral ceiling punctuated by the exposed timbers, this fourth bedroom is the place to be. Glass French doors at the foot of the steps are the chef's kiss as they keep the third floor private yet allow the upper windows to light the 2nd floor hall while keeping walkway passable with their halved swing. The lower level has had its own makeover, the floors, ceiling and lighting replaced, the half bath has been completely refreshed. Outside, the dead trees have been cleared, the brick patio re-laid and the side patio expanded. The barn door-style garage door has been restored, giving true covered parking alongside the parking pad. As the back gate will be the main entry point, the restored hardscaping, the flowerbeds, and the plantings will always have a welcoming approach.
