Property Description
Step into a piece of Baltimore history at 1221 N. Calvert Street, where timeless elegance meets modern sophistication. This 18-room Victorian brownstone built in 1886, invites you, only the sixth owner, to add your mark on a home with an impressive and storied history.
Imagine hosting gatherings in the expansive parlor room, where three large windows bathe the space in natural light, highlighting the ornate trim and solid cherry hardwoods. Picture yourself dining with guests in the golden oak-adorned dining room, a space that once welcomed Baltimore's prominent residents and visitors for philanthropic fundraisers.
Even before entering the home, the stately marble exterior transports you back to an era where craftsmanship was paramount and no detail was overlooked. Be greeted by the opulence of your hand-carved white oak wooden staircase, intricately crafted fireplace mantels, and elegant pocket doors, all historically preserved to maintain the home's original charm.
While steeped in history, in 2015, under the watch of only the fifth owners, this home underwent a meticulous historic renovation while upgrading to meet modern standards. Over $350,000 in renovations include a new kitchen, bathrooms, HVAC systems, plumbing, and electric, seamlessly blending the past with the present. The restored stained glass windows and crystal chandeliers add a touch of elegance to every room, while the original 1876 clawfoot tub in one of the 3.5 bathrooms offers a luxurious retreat.
This home is not just a residence; it's a statement. With 14-foot ceilings, large windows, and a full basement extending the length of the house, there is ample space to entertain, relax, and create memories. The property includes five parking spaces and an enclosed backyard, a rare find in the heart of the city.
For the discerning professional, 1221 N. Calvert Street offers unparalleled convenience. A mere four-minute walk from Baltimore's Penn Station, your commute to Washington, DC, is a swift 40-minute train ride. Enjoy the lifestyle and space of a historic home at a fraction of the cost of similar properties in DC.
Benefit from a CHAP credit for two more years, adding financial appeal to the already compelling package.
At 1221 N. Calvert Street, you're not just purchasing a home; you're inheriting a legacy. Experience the elegance of a bygone era, enhanced by the conveniences of modern living. Schedule your private tour today and step into a lifestyle of timeless sophistication.
