Property Description

Step into timeless elegance in this stunning classic Victorian Baltimore brick townhome, where historic character blends seamlessly with modern style. Having only three owners in this home's entire history, beginning with famed architect and the rumored crafter of this historic home, August Rogers, careful and meticulous care has been maintained over the 120 years that this home has existed. Inside, you'll be greeted by soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, rich hardwood floors, elegant crown molding, and a striking statement column that enhances the home's architectural appeal. Ideally situated directly across the street from Patterson Park, this home offers front-row access to one of Baltimore's most cherished green spaces, featuring 155 acres of walking trails, athletic fields, a lake, the iconic Pagoda, playgrounds, and year-round community events. As you enter from the brick porch to the foyer, just look up to see a light fixture that belonged to Betsy Patterson, daughter of Patterson Park's namesake, William Patterson. The inviting living room with 9 ft+ ceilings centers around a beautiful original wood-detailed fireplace, with a marble hearth, now featuring a stylish electric insert, creating the perfect focal point for relaxing or entertaining. The original wooden staircase serves as another beautiful reminder of the home's craftsmanship and history. French doors lead to a spectacular formal dining room complete with crown molding, contemporary lighting, and custom built-in bookcases that add both character and functionality. The galley kitchen is thoughtfully designed with stainless steel appliances, intricate tilework and recessed lighting. The finished lower level offers exceptional flexibility with a private bedroom and dedicated laundry area and "Baltimore flush", making it perfect for guests, a home office, or additional living space. Upstairs, you'll find two spacious bedrooms filled with natural light, updated ceiling fans, and a beautifully renovated full bathroom featuring a skylight, elegant subway tiling, and marble basketweave flooring that is original to the home. Hardwood flooring and updated carpeting provide comfort and style throughout the upper level. Additional updates provide valuable peace of mind, including a new roof (2025) with a transferable warranty, 2-zoned heating and cooling, and a new hot water heater (2024). Every detail of this truly gorgeous Victorian has been carefully maintained to preserve its historic beauty while offering today's conveniences. This is a rare opportunity to own a home that perfectly captures the charm, craftsmanship, and timeless appeal that make Baltimore's classic townhomes so beloved.
