Bohemian chic in Reservoir Hill. Featured in A Guide to Baltimore Architecture by John Dorsey as a quintessential example of Queen Anne's (Eastlake-style) architecture, this townhome on Mount Royal Terrace has been updated for today's lifestyle while retaining the elegance and details of the original home. Lovingly restored and updated by professional artist owners, much of the original wood trim in the home has been stripped and thus the warm wood beneath can be enjoyed for generations to come. Historic hardware, doorknobs, hinges, and other small details in the home were painstakingly searched for and installed in addition to the updated modern cook's kitchen. The generously proportioned bedrooms on the second-floor feature lovely historic details and treetop views. The upper level was once a separate apartment but is now home to a bedroom, bathroom with clawfoot tub, a workroom with sink, and a large light filled artist studio. The flexible third floor layout can be used as a primary suite or separate guest suite for long term visitors. The upper level is also perfect for a roommate or an Airbnb suite for extra income. Many practical modern updates can be found in this artistic abode including insulated replacement windows, “cool roof”, and recently installed attic insulation. The front exterior of the home is the best of the historic and modern and boasts an original historic Krug ironwork roof cornice. A new standing seam copper roof (with 100-year guarantee) tops the bow front windows. Additional upgrades include a French drainage system with two sump pumps and moisture barrier and new gutters. The walk out basement is a treat for bike storage, gardening supplies and more. The fully enclosed rear garden has alley access so a parking pad can be added at a later date. Close to Maryland Institute College of Art, University of Baltimore, Druid Hill Park, and Baltimore's Light Rail.
