1605 charles street

This year marks the 150th birthday for this stately Federal Hill row home! A meticulous 2013 renovation (done to the strict CHAP guidelines) features a timeless yet modern take on the subtleties of 19th century elegance. Entering from the iconic marble steps, standing beneath the perfect symmetry of the coffered grid, the eye looks through the open first floor, across the dining area, along the exposed brick, over the granite counters, through a generously cabinet'ed kitchen, into the rear entryway (which discretely organizes a first floor half bath, laundry and coat closet), with the eye line finally landing on the two car parking pad just beyond a modest patio. Upstairs, the exposed brick continues through the hallway that connects a front primary suite with a rear bedroom and second full bath. Through the rear bedroom one exits onto a small deck (perfect for flower boxes and planters), that leads up to the definitive Federal Hill roof deck offering the dramatic vista of rolling Riverside rooftops to one side and a view of the lighted brim of Ravens stadium to the other.
