Welcome to 1008 W. 42nd Street! This charming Hampden-area rowhome blends modern flair with historic character and shows true pride of ownership from top to bottom! Step inside to the inviting living room, featuring original staircase and high ceilings. A separate dining room is ready for holiday gatherings. The adorable kitchen offers wood cabinetry and a walk-in pantry with plenty of room for essentials. Original hardwood floors run throughout the home. Head out back and discover an entertainer's and gardener's paradise. This expansive, fully fenced-in backyard features pavers and a garden that blooms beautifully in the Spring and Summer months. Out front, the classic porch is great for relaxing or catching up with neighbors. Upstairs, you will find the primary bedroom along with a second bedroom addition completed in 2022. The new bedroom features a charming pocket door and transom glass. The upstairs family room is great for spending time with the kids or enjoying some quiet time. The full bathroom embraces classic Baltimore style with vintage black and white tile flooring and ceramic pink tile. The lower level adds even more flexible living space. With painted wood paneling and concrete flooring, it's currently used as an office but could easily become a den, play room or guest bedroom. There is also a convenient half bathroom. Need storage...no problem! There is plenty of space in the utility/laundry room. Some other recent updates include a freshly painted first floor and front railing (2026), a hot water heater (2023), a dryer (2023), and a washer (2019). But most of all this home is all about location, location, location. You can easily walk to two supermarkets, Giant Food and Mom's Organic Market and enjoy everything The Rotunda has to offer, including shops, restaurants, outdoor gathering space and Warehouse Cinemas. Head a little farther down the road to enjoy The Avenue in historic Hampden, catch a lacrosse game at Johns Hopkins University, grab a bite at the R.House food hall, or enjoy the restaurants at Clipper Mill. It's an easy commute to I83 or to hop on the Light Rail at Woodberry Station. Don't miss this beauty and all it has to offer! OPEN HOUSE: Saturday, September 19th from 12:00 to 2:00PM
