Property description
The Best of Bolton Hill! An absolute dreamy, expansive offering with SIX bedrooms and high ceilings, 1206 John Street’s original details have been meticulously preserved. Irreplaceable and priceless original details! Natural and magical light throughout from a skylight shaft and original, wavy glass windows. Original millwork and stairs, fireplace mantles, pocket doors, functioning transom windows, curved plaster walls, butler’s pantry turned half bath, and a surprise, built-in cocktail nook make this home exceptional. Restored and preserved by the previous owner, one of Baltimore’s premier heritage and preservationists, and lovingly brought to life with the current owners. ⁣ ⁣ Designer and Instagram worthy touches include Benjamin Moore Newburg Green dining room, custom wallpaper in the art room / office, a writer’s nook overlooking the light shaft with windows opening from each level, and a view of Baltimore’s ICONIC gingerbread block across the street. ⁣ ⁣ Recent updates include upper level laundry, energy updated to gas and oil tank removed, roof maintenance, and a blue stone English terrace with covered outdoor space for dining al fresco or napping in the middle of the city’s bustle. The home is in lower Bolton Hill – the closest you can get to all mass transportation and Mt. Vernon – perfect for local and DC commuters! ⁣ ⁣ *6 Fireplaces total are decorative and sold AS-IS. Owners utilized the front parlor room wood-burning fireplace – this fireplace is also sold AS-IS.* The Property is located in a CHAP (Com. for Historical and Architectural Preservation) historic district within Baltimore City. *The Property is subject to the Midtown Special Benefits Tax*⁣ ⁣ Central to the cultural arts district, top restaurants, and Penn Station for NYC and DC access, 1206 John St mirrors art and design influences of a central city life. A stone’s throw from Bolton Swim and Tennis Club! A close-knit block, neighbors spend time stooping, walking to nearby Park Avenue fountains or John Street Park or for a communal greenspace, annual pumpkin carving, and free summer concerts. Enjoy restaurants The Tilted Row, Llama’s Corner, Cookhouse, On the Hill Cafe, Brass Tap and Angeli’s or nearby Station North which continues to come alive with recent additions such as Alma Cocina Latina, Foraged, Le Comptoir du Vin, The Royal Blue and mainstays such as Charles Theater and Tapas Teatro. Blocks from Mt. Vernon, BSO, The Lyric, I-83, Light Rail, Metro, and Penn Station.⁣
