518 bethel street

A tree-canopied private backyard with hand-laid brick patio in the heart of historic Fells Point? This 19th century, lap front charmer opens to a 20’ wide living room, its eastern facing windows opposite a corner-hearth’d fireplace. Through the dining room, a widened galley kitchen is generous with its storage and prep space and offers a spacious eat-in countertop overlooking the back patio. A rear half bath discretely stores the main-floor stacked laundry. Upstairs, two bedrooms with ample closets enjoy the bright exposure and close access to a recently updated shared full bath, understated and timeless with a flawless grid of subway tile and a pair of vanities in a smart gray. A primary bedroom overlooks the backyard, the treetops washing the sight line in a lush green envied by most windows within many neighboring blocks. Another updated bath privately serves this rear bedroom. The true trophy of Bethel street is the backyard, a geometric miracle of the block’s lot configuration. The board and batten, the tree cover, the winding brick, the stacked stone garden beds, it’s the perfect space for the gathering of many or the calm reflection of one’s own self.
