Historic Charm with an Artistic Edge in Federal Hill

Step through the classic wooden front door of this circa-1850 Federal-style townhouse and discover a home full of character, creativity, and unexpected details. Nestled in Baltimore’s Federal Hill Historic District, this 1,350-square-foot gem blends historic charm with modern functionality.

Beautiful hardwood floors, detailed crown molding, wainscoting, exposed brick, and three wood-burning fireplaces create a warm, timeless atmosphere. The winding staircase adds architectural interest, while the open living and dining areas feel both classic and inviting.

The kitchen is truly one of a kind, with a professional feel, butcher-block countertops, multiple prep sinks, a pot filler, a modern oven, and portable induction burners. It opens to a private courtyard that feels like an urban oasis, complete with a built-in plancha, brick oven, and grill—perfect for entertaining.

The second floor offers a sunlit family room with a fireplace, a full bath with a classic claw-foot tub, and a flexible office or bedroom with built-in bookcases overlooking the garden. Upstairs, the spacious primary bedroom features exposed brick, a skylight, and its own fireplace.

An unfinished basement provides storage and a custom wine cellar. Updates include Roof in 2025 (30 year warranty from Long Home roof), new HVAC (2019 and serviced in 2025)), new water heater (2022), mini-split system on the top floor, new washer/dryer (2024-2025), all front facing windows replaced in 2025, and fesh paint, new lightfixture, new closet and new built-ins in second floor bedroom

Full of soul, thoughtful details, and distinctive spaces, this is more than a townhouse—it’s a little piece of Baltimore history with a creative spirit and a private outdoor retreat, right in the heart of Federal Hill.
