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. Combining the elegance of Boston brownstones, Philadelphia townhouses, Washington, DC rowhomes, and Brooklyn's classic residences, this remarkable home represents sophisticated city living at its finest.
A stately brick façade welcomes you into a grand foyer where exquisite carved woodwork, original moldings, soaring ceilings, beautifully preserved hardwood floors, and stunning marble fireplace mantels showcase the craftsmanship that defines Bolton Hill. The signature perpendicular staircase, anchored by its original newel post and turned spindles, rises to a third floor skylight, filling the home with natural light. Decorative plaster ceilings, oversized windows, and gracious room proportions reflect the enduring quality of nineteenth century design.
Designed for entertaining, the main level offers elegant formal spaces that flow seamlessly together. The 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 the perfect hub for serving meals and gathering with guests. At the rear, the extra wide dining room features a bay window, another original marble fireplace mantel, and abundant space for dinner parties and holiday celebrations. A powder room completes the main level.
The second floor is dedicated to comfortable everyday living. The spacious primary suite features a renovated spa inspired bath with a soaking tub, oversized walk in shower, and double vanity. At the rear, a second oversized ensuite bedroom with its own attached full bath offers exceptional flexibility as a guest suite, family room, library, media room, or home office. An original rear staircase provides convenient access to the upper level while preserving the home's historic character.
The third floor offers a spacious front bedroom with an adjoining room ideal as a dressing room, office, nursery, or studio, along with two comfortable rear bedrooms perfect for guests, children, home offices, or hobby rooms. A renovated hall bath serves the upper level.
The garden level is where historic character meets modern living. This beautifully renovated English basement features a bespoke gourmet kitchen with custom cabinetry, expansive countertops, abundant storage, a wood burning fireplace, generous dining area, and direct access to the landscaped rear garden. The deep rear lot offers a private brick courtyard with mature landscaping and the potential to add off street parking or a future garage.
Additional improvements include fresh interior and exterior paint, a new two zone HVAC system installed in 2025, a whole house water filtration system, and 27 years of meticulous ownership. Fireplaces convey As Is.
