Description
Cornered on a quiet pedestrian cobblestone lane, this historic antebellum townhome has had a magnificent 21st-century revival. Located in the very heart of the historic and quaint neighborhood of Otterbein. Tucked away, but close to all the amenities of downtown, the tree-lined streets and brick sidewalks throughout Otterbein create a village-like charm. From the moment you enter this end-of-group, sun-filled home, you'll be awed by the soaring three-story staircase and magnificent original heart pine floors. The home lives graciously with 10'+ tall ceilings, a centrally located overhead skylight, and a large, renovated chef's kitchen that opens to a magical landscaped patio/garden, with a beautiful neighborhood park just beyond.
A convenient side entrance leads to a beautiful sunny foyer with the large living room and wood-burning fireplace as well as a separate dining dining room with enough space to host a large dinner party or family gathering. There is a conveniently located first-floor powder room. The 27 x 13' kitchen features 48"+ cabinetry with so much storage, professional grade appliances, a large center island and peninsula, and sueded quartz countertops. From the kitchen, French doors lead to an enchanting landscaped rear patio and yard . . .a perfect place to garden and enjoy sunny mornings and cool evenings. Otterbein's beautiful Concert Park is also just outside your door!
Ascend the original winding staircase with painted brick walls to the second level and you'll discover two bedrooms, a remodeled full bath, and a light-flooded south-facing family room with wall-to-wall glass doors leading to a deck overlooking the beautiful neighborhood parks.
You'll love the spacious top-level primary suite with a second wood burning fireplace in the primary bedroom and a delightful bathroom featuring a double sink vanity, glass enclosed shower, skylight, and soaking tub. A large walk-in closet and a laundry room with a high-capacity washer and dryer, along with extra shelving/storage, complete this top level.
The partially finished basement offers a bonus family room/den, another half bath, and plentiful storage in two adjacent unfinished rooms.
The sellers own a deeded, covered parking space just across the street, which is available for purchase separately. Additionally, residents of Otterbein enjoy a permit-only, zero tolerance parking policy that is strictly enforced. Up to two registered car decals and 2 guest parking permits are provided to Area 8 residents.
Often described as Federal Hill's more quiet and elegant neighbor, Otterbein remains a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of commercial business and is a perfect downtown neighborhood for those with an appreciation for beautiful architecture and the multiple pristine parks that play host to community events and play areas for children and pets. You won't sacrifice convenience to live here. 95, MARC train, two major league stadiums, shops, Inner Harbor, restaurants and entertainment are just blocks away.
