About this home
Welcome to one of Bolton Hill’s quintessential Victorian townhomes, an exceptional historic Baltimore residence offering approximately 4,500 square feet of timeless architecture, bespoke design, gracious entertaining spaces, and modern amenities. With the elegance of a Boston brownstone, Philadelphia townhouse, Washington, DC row home, or classic Brooklyn residence, this remarkable property delivers sophisticated city living in one of Baltimore’s most architecturally significant neighborhoods.
A stately brick façade opens to a grand foyer featuring exquisite carved woodwork, original moldings, soaring ceilings, preserved hardwood floors, and marble fireplace mantels. The signature perpendicular staircase, with its original newel post and turned spindles, rises beneath a third floor skylight that fills the home with natural light. Decorative plaster ceilings, oversized windows, and gracious room proportions reflect the craftsmanship of nineteenth century Victorian design.
The main level was designed for entertaining. The elegant living room features an ornate marble mantel, decorative plaster ceiling, and oversized windows. A modern Butler’s pantry with a fully equipped galley kitchen connects the living and dining rooms, creating an ideal serving and gathering space. The extra wide rear dining room offers a bay window, original marble mantel, and ample space for dinner parties and holiday celebrations. A powder room completes this level.
The second floor includes a spacious primary suite with a renovated spa inspired bathroom featuring a soaking tub, oversized walk in shower, and double vanity. A large rear ensuite bedroom with an attached full bath offers flexibility as a guest suite, family room, library, media room, or home office. An original rear staircase provides convenient access to the upper level.
The third floor offers a generous front bedroom with an adjoining room ideal for a dressing room, office, nursery, or studio, plus two additional bedrooms and a renovated hall bath.
The beautifully renovated garden level English basement blends historic character with modern living. A bespoke gourmet kitchen features custom cabinetry, expansive countertops, abundant storage, a wood burning fireplace, a generous dining area, and direct access to the landscaped rear garden. The deep lot includes a private brick courtyard with mature landscaping and the potential to add an off street parking pad or future garage.
Recent improvements include two zone high velocity central air installed in 2025, a rubber membrane roof installed in 2016 and serviced in September 2025, attic insulation added in 2025, fresh interior and exterior paint completed in 2026, and a whole house water filtration system. The current owners have meticulously cared for the home for 27 years. Some fireplaces are functional, and all fireplaces convey As Is.
