Create the life you love in this quintessential 1880 Bolton Hill townhouse, where timeless architecture meets thoughtful modern updates. Backing to the oh-so-secret Rutter Mill Park, this four-level home is flooded with natural light; morning sun pours through the front windows, while golden hour fills the rear rooms in the evening. The main level features a gracious living room with original mantel, pocket doors, crown molding, and ceiling medallions, plus a dining room with elegant cherry built-ins and a pass-through to a truly luxurious galley kitchen. Cooks will appreciate the custom cherry cabinetry, granite counters, high-end appliances, and a separate bar with a copper sink. Upstairs, the second floor offers a generous primary suite with a private dressing room, California-style walk-in closets, and a spacious en-suite bath. The rear office and powder room can serve as a cozy guest room or den. The third-floor features two large bedrooms and a full bath with a tub/shower. The finished lower level includes a guest studio suite/ family room with built-ins, a second full kitchen (perfect for larger-scale culinary adventures) a full bath, utility and storage rooms, and walk-out access to the charming, fenced backyard and sunken brick patio—an ideal setting for dining or enjoying the perennial garden. Perfectly located for commuters and creatives alike, this home offers easy access to Penn Station, MICA, Hopkins, the University of Maryland, and more. With historic character, modern convenience, and a truly special location, this home invites you to live beautifully in the heart of Baltimore.
