Property Description
Welcome to this beautifully updated Hamilton Lauraville home in Northeast Baltimore, offering the perfect blend of Baltimore City living and a suburban neighborhood feel. Situated on an extra large level lot with extensive off street parking, fenced yard, covered deck, and flexible living space, this move in ready property is a rare find in one of Baltimore's most sought after communities. As you enter the home, you are welcomed into the owners' beloved "Sporch," an enclosed sunroom porch that serves as an inviting extension of the living space and the perfect spot for morning coffee, family meals, casual gatherings, or relaxing evenings with friends. Beyond the Sporch, a foyer opens into a spacious living room featuring charming built ins, refinished original hardwood floors, and thoughtfully coordinated oil rubbed bronze fixtures and hardware selected to complement the home's 1914 character. Original and updated period appropriate six inch base moldings throughout the home further enhance its timeless architectural appeal. Just off the kitchen is a practical mudroom and full bath, creating an ideal everyday layout. At the rear of the home, a large covered deck overlooks the expansive level backyard, offering exceptional space for entertaining, gardening, pets, outdoor dining, and summer barbecues. The second floor features three comfortable bedrooms and a full bath, along with original second floor hall doors complete with charming vintage hardware that elegantly separate the bedroom area. Original and period appropriate five panel doors throughout the upper level help preserve the home's architectural integrity. A beautifully researched stained glass front door, believed to be true to the home's original 1914 design, further enhances the property's timeless character. The unfinished basement offers abundant storage and laundry space. The home is kept comfortable during the summer months with window air conditioning units. Meticulously maintained and extensively updated over time, this home reflects true pride of ownership throughout. No stone has been left unturned, allowing buyers to move in with confidence knowing the property has been carefully improved and exceptionally cared for. Located in the heart of Hamilton Lauraville, this home offers easy access to downtown Baltimore, Towson, Johns Hopkins, Morgan State University, I 695, and I 83. Enjoy nearby neighborhood favorites like Zeke's Coffee, Domesticity, Snug Books, Wax Atlas Record and Stereo Exchange, and Koco's Pub. Outdoor enthusiasts will also appreciate close proximity to Herring Run Park, a 375 acre urban oasis with wooded trails, streams, athletic fields, and green space rarely found so close to the city. Owners would like a quick closing with occupancy through July 15, 2026.
