Welcome to an exceptional opportunity to own and thoughtfully restore a classic Bolton Hill home filled with the architectural details that make this historic Baltimore neighborhood so special.

Freshly updated in 2026 with a new roof and fresh interior and exterior paint, the house presents beautifully and is comfortable enough to live in while planning future improvements. At the same time, it offers something increasingly difficult to find in Bolton Hill: a remarkably intact historic interior ready for a new owner's vision.

Soaring ceilings, original unpainted woodwork, substantial moldings and trim, interior shutters, original windows, wood floors, and marble mantels throughout preserve the character and craftsmanship of the home. A rear staircase and traditional butler's pantry add to the sense of history and provide the kind of architectural detail that is increasingly rare.

The spacious kitchen offers an excellent footprint for a future renovation. Rather than inheriting someone else's design choices, the next owner has the opportunity to create a kitchen that works beautifully for modern life while respecting the architecture of the house. The baths are also ready for renovation.

The upper levels lend themselves particularly well to creating a thoughtful modern bedroom configuration within the existing historic footprint. On the second floor, the front of the house could become a generous primary suite with a spacious bedroom, private bath, and dressing room. A middle bedroom provides additional flexibility, while the rear portion of the floor offers space for a large full bath and dedicated laundry room.

The third floor provides even more possibilities. The front rooms could accommodate another primary or guest suite with a private bath, while the rear offers space for an additional bedroom and bath. The result could be a home with multiple beautifully proportioned bedroom suites without sacrificing the original character buyers come to Bolton Hill hoping to find.

The basement is another major opportunity. Exceptionally high ceilings and substantial square footage provide tremendous potential for additional finished living space, whether envisioned as a family room, gym, office, studio, workshop, wine storage, or some combination of uses, subject to buyer verification and applicable approvals.

Outside, the manageable rear garden offers just enough green space without demanding an entire weekend of maintenance. It is an ideal setting for a table, a few plantings, and evening cocktails. Street parking on this block is also relatively easy, an important convenience for city living.

Just as compelling as the house itself is the Bolton Hill lifestyle. This is a tight knit neighborhood where people know their neighbors, gather on stoops and sidewalks, walk to dinner, bike across the city, and take advantage of the parks, schools, cultural institutions, and community amenities woven into the neighborhood. Bike lanes make it easy to move around the city without relying solely on a car.

The property is within walking distance of Bolton Hill Nursery School, Mount Royal Elementary and Middle School, and Midtown Academy. MICA is also right in the neighborhood, contributing to the creative energy and cultural identity that make Bolton Hill such a distinctive place to live.

The member owned Bolton Swim and Tennis Club is another beloved neighborhood amenity, offering swimming, tennis, and a strong sense of community just minutes from home.

Dining and neighborhood gathering spots are another major part of the appeal. Award winning CookHouse and On the Hill Café are both located right in Bolton Hill, with Alma Cocina Latina, The Charles Theater, Le Comptoir du Vin, and the iconic Mt. Royal Tavern nearby, along with a growing collection of independent restaurants, cafés, and neighborhood businesses.

Mount Vernon, Station North, the University of Baltimore, Penn Station, and many of Baltimore's cultural institutions are all close by. Penn Station provides MARC and Amtrak service to Washington, Philadelphia, New York, and destinations throughout the Northeast Corridor, while Light Rail, Metro, local bus service, bike lanes, and major commuter routes are readily accessible.

For a buyer who appreciates historic architecture, this is the kind of property that is becoming increasingly difficult to find. The important pieces are still here. The original woodwork has not been painted over. The mantels, shutters, windows, proportions, and architectural details remain intact. The next owner can preserve those elements while thoughtfully introducing a new kitchen, renovated baths, central air conditioning, and other modern improvements over time.

The home does not currently have central air conditioning. Much of the electrical and plumbing is original. The boiler is approximately eight years old and the hot water heater approximately six years old. A defunct oil tank remains in the basement.

This is not a house that has been stripped of its history and renovated according to someone else's taste. It is an opportunity to become the next steward of a genuine Bolton Hill home, preserving what matters while making it distinctly your own.

The property is being sold strictly as is. Inspections are welcome for the buyer's informational purposes only, and buyers are also welcome to conduct pre inspections prior to submitting an offer.
