1BR/1BA, 2nd floor apartment w/hardwood floors, 11' ceilings, and a working wood-burning fireplace. This apartment is in a grand, classic, well-maintained mid 19th-century Bolton Hill townhouse with six other one-bedroom apartments filled with friendly and respectful professionals in their late 20s to early 60s. It's located on a quiet block of West Lanvale St. The house is attentively managed by a responsive and hands-on owner who lives just 10 blocks away.
This location has a WalkScore rating of 88 for Walkability, 95 for access to Public Transit, and 80 for Bikeability. It's within easy walking distance to Mount Vernon attractions and amenities, but with the peace, quiet, leafiness, and easier parking of Bolton Hill. Walk to Penn Station (10 mins.), University of Baltimore (7 mins.), MICA (4 mins.) and Peabody Conservatory (18 mins.), Baltimore Metro State Center station (7 mins.) and two light rail stations: Cultural Center and Mount Royal Ave. (5 mins.). Make no mistake - this apartment isn't on the outer fringes of Bolton Hill, but on one of its nicest blocks!
