About This Home
Coming soon- An architectural masterpiece born from the seamless union of two townhomes, this extraordinary home offers over $200,000 in curated upgrades in 2025; a rare and refined take on luxury city living steps away from Fells Point and Canton. Spanning over 4,500 finished square feet of meticulously designed living space, this home effortlessly blends historic character with modern sophistication. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered, creating a one-of-a-kind sanctuary for those who value both architectural distinction and contemporary comfort. The main level unfolds with an expansive open-concept design, seamlessly connecting the gourmet kitchen, dining area, and multiple living spaces, an ideal setting for both grand entertaining and intimate gatherings. The chef’s kitchen is a true showpiece, featuring premium countertops, an oversized island, and top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances. Exposed brick, rich hardwood flooring, custom built-ins, and striking architectural elements, including two dramatic interior bridge walkways, add depth and character throughout. While featuring a wood-burning fireplace with a statement mantel in the second living space, the abundant natural light enhances the home’s warm, inviting ambiance. The brand new fully finished lower level expands the home’s versatility, offering a private retreat complete with a full bath, recreation lounge, secondary kitchen, and a flexible bonus suite currently utilized as an additional bedroom; perfect for guests, extended stays, or multigenerational living. Upstairs, the second level features four generously proportioned bedrooms, two newly renovated full baths, and a convenient laundry area. This level provides exceptional flexibility for home offices, fitness studios, or creative spaces, while a private balcony offers a peaceful escape for morning coffee. The top level is dedicated to elevated living, featuring an additional lounge or media space and a breathtaking primary suite defined by exposed brick and beams. The new spa-inspired primary bath offers a soaking tub, walk-in shower, and refined finishes, creating a true retreat within the home. From here, cross the second interior bridge to access the multi-tier rooftop deck with an extraordinary outdoor oasis with sweeping views of the city skyline and waterfront. Outdoor living is equally impressive, with a large private patio, balcony, and expansive rooftop spaces designed for both relaxation and entertaining. Thoughtful hardscaping enhances the experience, creating multiple areas to unwind or host against a stunning urban backdrop. Ideally located just steps from Canton’s vibrant waterfront, as well as the shops, dining, and nightlife of Fells Point, this residence offers the perfect balance of energy and escape. This is more than a home, it is a statement of lifestyle, design, and rarity in one of Baltimore’s most sought-after neighborhoods.
