Architect-designed, porch-front home facing Patterson Park with fantastic views of the park, city skyline, and spectacular sunsets. Enter through a vestibule double door entry to a large color drenched living room with historic details in every direction: an original fireplace with marble hearth and a working gas insert, arched built-in bookcases, an oversized window facing the park, large columns and historic glass doors to the dining room. The real showstopper is the rich hardwood floors with incredible inlay pattern throughout. The living and dining rooms flow openly and have abundant lighting throughout to accent your artwork. The kitchen is just behind the dining room and has been finished in a colorful and cool style with a large white double sink and extensive cabinetry and pantry pull-outs providing a remarkable amount of storage and counterspace. Up the beautiful historic staircase leads to 2 bedrooms and a full bathroom. The especially large (14' X 24') primary suite graces the front of the home and through a large 3 bay window overlooks Patterson Park. (Be sure to check out the original functioning safe that is still in the bedroom wall!) The primary has a walk-in closet and skylight. The spacious rear bedroom opens to the balcony, the original sleeping porch. Multiple skylights drench this entire upper floor with natural light. The full bath has subway tiles, elegant marble basketweave floor, and vintage fixtures with modern updates. Last, but not least, is the large partially finished lower level with a 3rd bedroom, a bonus room, and a separate utility area/laundry, half bath, and rear exterior walk out entrance. Great updates made by the current owners include a new roof in 2025 with a transferable warranty and a new hot water heater in 2024. Dual zone hvac. It's hard to describe how great this community and location is: 137 acres of greenspace in your front yard, easy parking along the park, neighbors who plant and maintain gardens for all to enjoy, and a cozy covered porch to take it all in. Just around the corner is the Creative Alliance and tons of great restaurants and establishments like Snake Hill, Patterson Public House, Taqueria el Sabor del Parque and Bmore Licks! Come see this gem and have a front row seat to the Great Baltimore Lantern Parade!
