About This Home
Nestled in the heart of desirable Riverside, this fully renovated home offers everything you need—and nothing you don’t. Enjoy modern comfort at its finest within the bones of a classic Federal style historic home, featuring 2 spacious bedrooms, a beautifully renovated bathroom, an amazing two-story rooftop and a large private parking space.
Located just moments from vibrant city amenities like coffee shops, top-rated restaurants, grocery stores and Federal Hill’s nightlife, yet tucked in a quiet, walkable neighborhood. Riverside Park is just steps away, offering a pool, playground, and scenic walking and biking trails. You can have the best of both worlds here.
Step inside and discover a warm, thoughtfully designed home where every inch is put to good use. The open-concept layout feels bright and airy, with beautiful hardwood floors, exposed brick accent walls, and recessed lighting creating a modern yet welcoming vibe. The living area is perfectly sized for a comfortable couch and entertainment setup, while the fully updated kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a layout that makes cooking and hosting practical.
Upstairs, you’ll find two spacious bedrooms and a beautifully renovated full bathroom. The front bedroom boasts vaulted ceilings and generous closet space, while the rear bedroom offers direct access to the amazing rooftop deck. Because they are similar in size, either bedroom could serve as the primary suite. The center hall bathroom features a timeless aesthetic with a marble-top vanity and a large, glass-enclosed standing shower.
And then there's the rooftop deck—one of the home’s standout features. This expansive two-story space includes built-in bench seating and sweeping views of the city skyline. It’s the ultimate spot to unwind or entertain, whether you're watching fireworks, catching the air show, or just enjoying a quiet evening at home.
The basement is currently unfinished but provides ample storage space. Out back, you'll find a large, private parking pad—no more circling the block or stressing on game days. Come home when you want, not when you need to, this spot is large and has easy access from the ally in front. Prefer a yard? The space can easily be fenced in to create your own urban retreat.
Located just one block from the newly renovated Riverside Park—which now features basketball courts, outdoor gym equipment, a pool, playground, and scenic walking/biking paths—this home sits in one of Baltimore’s most desirable neighborhoods. Quaint coffee shops, cozy bars, and family restaurants are sprinkled throughout the area, while the energy of Federal Hill’s nightlife is just minutes away. The neighborhood is also popular among medical professionals and students attending nearby institutions like the University of Maryland and Johns Hopkins.
With every upgrade already done, all that’s left is to move in and make this Riverside home your own and, just in time for summer.
