About This Home
As of March 2025Historic Otterbein home with a surprising amount of flexible living space. One of Otterbein’s famous “Dollar Houses,” this beautiful 3 bedroom, 2 bath home has many unique features you’ll never find in new construction or cookie-cutter homes including original heart pine flooring, exposed brick, and 3 wood burning fireplaces. The center of the home enjoys a multi-level stairwell with a large skylight that envelopes the home in light. In addition to the 3 bedrooms, you will love the additional living spaces that include a second floor living/family room and a top level den/home office option with a wet bar and sliding doors that lead to a deck with sunny eastern exposures overlooking the downtown skyline. In addition, there is a beautiful updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances and exposed beams that leads to a large and private fenced backyard and patio/garden rarely found in homes like this. There is a split lower level with another bedroom/office space and full bath as well as a large and bright storage room.
Parking is so easy in this neighborhood, as it is permit-only and strongly enforced to the benefit of homeowners. Easy access to I-95, the MARC train (if you happen to work in Washington, DC), the Light Rail, the Charm City Circulator, and all the conveniences of the Inner Harbor and Federal Hill. 93 Walk Score – just a few blocks to CFG Arena, M&T Stadium, Camden Yards and the beautiful waterfront.
