Stunning, Fully Renovated Porchfront Townhouse in Charles Village There’s something magical about Charles Village. Strolling tree-lined blocks where neighbors still sit on wide front porches and wave, where murals splash color onto brick walls, where the air hums with students, professors, musicians, and families sharing the sidewalk. This house was made for that kind of living—vibrant, creative, and deeply rooted in community. From the moment you step onto the gracious front porch, you’ll feel the spirit of Charles Village. It’s a place to sip coffee in the morning, trade stories with neighbors at sunset, and listen as the city’s rhythm moves around you. Step inside and the home reveals itself as something special: a complete reinvention by an experienced developer who knows how to honor historic bones while layering in thoughtful, modern design. Everything is new, and yet it feels timeless. The front room, now styled as a dining room, could just as easily be your salon for books, conversation, or music. Beyond it lies the true heart of the home: a gourmet kitchen that will woo your senses. Picture Carrera quartz countertops gleaming in the afternoon light, a pot filler over your professional gas range, custom built-ins filled with pottery and cookbooks, and a generous island where friends will inevitably gather. Off the kitchen, the powder room and cozy rear living room provide a perfect retreat. Upstairs, the second floor balances practicality and indulgence. At the front is a sunny bedroom, a full hall bath dressed in gorgeous tile with brushed brass fixtures, and a laundry room where chores become less of a burden. At the back, the primary suite feels like a sanctuary: a massive space with a walk-in closet and a spa bath designed for long, thoughtful showers and mornings that don’t need to be rushed. The third floor, with its skylit staircase, beams with sunlight and possibility. Two more large bedrooms and another full bath invite you to imagine guest rooms, home studios, or that long-awaited writing space. The fully finished lower level is no afterthought—it’s a self-contained apartment. Whether you envision hosting in-laws, welcoming an au-pair, or offering a socially conscious rental for traveling academics or visiting artists, this space is ready. With its own private entrance, bedroom, large living room, full bath, and plumbing ready for a kitchenette and laundry, it feels independent but connected. Outside, a large deck overlooks a grassy backyard waiting for summer barbecues, quiet morning yoga, or raised garden beds full of tomatoes and herbs. A one-car garage anchors the back—brand new, with its door soon to be installed. And of course, this home is in the Charles Village Special Benefits District, where community pride is real. Farmers markets at Waverly, long walks through Wyman Park, grabbing coffee or beers with neighbors—this is the fabric of daily life here. Every essential has been renewed—roof, HVAC, plumbing, electrical—so you can focus not on projects, but on living. This is more than a house. It’s a stage set for stories, art, friendships, scholarship, and community to unfold. The kind of place where Johns Hopkins professors walk to campus, artists hang canvases in the front room, and neighbors linger on porches long after the sun has set. Welcome home to Charles Village. The listing agent grew up one block north. Ask me anything.
