422 S Highland Ave, Baltimore, MD 21224

Description

Pristine live/work gallery and residence in Baltimore’s Highlandtown Arts District, formerly known as Springsteen Gallery. This turnkey mixed-use property offers over 2,600 square feet of thoughtfully designed commercial and residential space and will appeal to the most discerning of buyers. The property benefitted from two extensive renovation phases — first transforming the gallery and commercial areas, followed by a comprehensive redesign of the residence above — resulting in a seamless blend of contemporary living, professional functionality, and architectural detail. The striking façade has been carefully restored with renovated brickwork, updated doors and windows, and a restored second-floor center window that complements the replacement of the three front-facing upper windows. Additional exterior improvements include a new roof and gutters, installed in 2021, along with outdoor security cameras, a secure exterior hydrant, and a clean rear alley for convenient access. The commercial/gallery level was designed with flexibility, safety, and professionalism in mind. In 2021, the commercial and residential portions of the property were separated with two-hour fire-rated walls, ceilings, and doors. The gallery space features skylights, gallery lighting, recessed lighting, safety exit signage, and exceptional natural light throughout. Additional first-floor amenities include a private office, security room, utility closet with stainless steel utility sink, half bath, and a handicap-compliant bathroom. The building is also equipped with three separate BGE meters serving the commercial, residential, and egress/common areas independently. The fully renovated upper-level residence showcases sophisticated modern finishes and carefully curated design elements throughout. The designer kitchen features engineered white oak flooring by ADM Flooring, custom Ikea cabinetry and countertops, a Grohe faucet, Kraus sink, Bosch appliances, and a gas-powered range with hood. An oversized island provides seating and entertaining space, while room for a dining table adds functionality and warmth. The elevated living area is filled with natural light from skylights, transom windows, and oversized windows with custom flower boxes. Architectural details include custom stairs with an oak slat wall and railing system, frameless custom interior doors with steel frames, premium chrome hardware, and European hinges. The spa-inspired bathroom was meticulously renovated with terrazzo tile flooring, Zia ceramic wall tile, a flush-installed Wetstyle shower pan, Kurdi Schluter waterproofing system, Laufen x Kartell vanity, and premium designer fixtures, including Grohe and Duravit elements. The spacious bedroom includes a walk-in closet, ceiling fan, and blinds, while recessed lighting extends throughout the residence. A premium ceiling fan with motion and humidity detection adds additional comfort and efficiency. Mechanical upgrades completed in 2025–2026 include a high-efficiency heat pump providing heating and cooling throughout the building and a gas-powered Bosch tankless water heater. The partial basement offers additional utility and storage with rubber mat flooring and storage racks, while the crawl space includes installed vapor barriers for added protection and efficiency. A rare opportunity to own a truly turnkey mixed-use property combining refined residential living with professionally designed gallery and workspace in one of Baltimore’s most vibrant arts communities.
