3122 Abell Avenue, BALTIMORE, MD

Showings begin Saturday, September 28th. Open House Sunday, September 29th 2-3:30pm. Welcome to uptown urban living! Abell is one of the most coveted streets in Baltimore – a quiet, leafy community lined with the famous “painted lady” rowhomes of Charles Village, it’s just blocks from Johns Hopkins, the 32nd Street Farmer’s Market, the Waverly Library, and local favorites like Red Emma’s and Peabody Heights Brewery. 3122 is the literal heart of this charming neighborhood, located in the exact center of the middle block of Abell Avenue. The colorful porch provides a front-row seat to annual community events like Abell Fest and Porch Prom. This handsome two-story brick rowhouse was built in 1900. Extensive renovations have retained gorgeous period details while updating for modern lifestyles. The main level features original oak floors, 10’ ceilings, original woodwork, original wood doors, and mantel. The second floor features original heart pine floors and original wood doors. The main level has a spacious living room and dining room to host gatherings with friends and family, powder room, a renovated kitchen with SubZero refrigerator, open shelving, large pantry, Quartz countertop, custom wood island for counter seating, and additional prep space. Just off the kitchen is a spacious screened deck for mosquito-free entertaining. The second floor has a large primary bedroom in the front with a bay window, original built-in double closet with mirrors plus an additional closet. The middle bedroom has a built-in Murphy Bed to accommodate additional guests, plus a large double closet. The full bath has been updated with historical details like an original clawfoot tub/shower and oversized subway tile. The third bedroom at the rear of the home has a private sunporch perfect for a home office, houseplants, or extra storage. The walk out basement has been finished off with a comfortable family/playroom with pile carpet, laundry room, utility sink, half bath, two closets, and spacious workshop with deep storage shelves. Finished basements are rare in this community – a beautiful bonus space for working out, kid playspace, guests, or home office. Walk out back to a compact but useful backyard that includes a grill area, firepit, bike storage, and garden shed nook, all sheltered under a gorgeous crepe myrtle that blooms white in early summer. The basement and main floor are served with central air in the summer, and all rooms have steady, comfortable steam heat with the original radiators. The location simply can't be beat. All of life’s necessities are within a 5 minute walk – groceries, library, coffee, shopping, banks, pharmacy, and education.
