Classic Upper Fells Point townhome was lovingly restored with unsurpassed attention to detail. Superior quality is evident even before you walk in the door. The brick facade is accented by stained glass transom, operable shutters and copper window boxes. Let us take a walk through the house… We enter and immediately notice random width pine floors and painstakingly fabricated custom millwork. We hang up our jackets in the cedar lined coat closet that lights automatically when we open its door. We walk through a lovely living room with gas fireplace and built-in bookcase en route to the open concept dining room and kitchen. You imagine preparing meals for family and friends in the well-appointed kitchen, with custom cabinetry, under cabinet lighting, granite counters and backsplashes, and stainless Viking and KitchenAid appliances making entertaining a breeze. We head up the original staircase, noting the seamless, handmade curving baseboards, and arrive at a landing, bright with sunlight from a skylight and side window. To the right, we find a den with decorative mantel, custom cabinetry and built-in bookcases. Beyond that, we see an attractive bedroom with a large closet, and decorative fireplace with unique ambient lighting detail. To the left of the staircase, we are impressed with a huge sumptuous bath with double-vanity, freestanding tub, and large separate shower. Up on the third floor, we see a surprisingly large and bright bedroom with beamed cathedral ceiling, multiple skylights, a sitting area, and an entire wall of built-in bookcases and closets. You notice that the temperature on this level is comfortable even during a summer heatwave, thanks to the mini-split systems used throughout the house. In combination with gas-fired, hot water baseboard heat, the zoned air conditioning allows you to cool only the areas you choose, which lowers your energy use and cost. Other areas of note include an intimate, fenced brick patio, and a basement that offers a half bath, plenty of storage space and laundry. This is the best of both worlds: located on lovely, quiet, tree-lined residential block, but just a few blocks walk from the bustle of the historic Fells Point seaport. Will you be the next steward of this fine home?
