2920 Cresmont Ave, Baltimore, MD 21211

Who says you can’t have it all when it comes to urban living? Walkability, off-street parking, a huge yard with room for a future addition, modern amenities and historic charm all come together in this crown jewel in the heart of Remington’s rowhome community. For the first time in nearly 20 years, this coveted end unit with double lot is available on Cresmont Avenue, a best-kept secret and a magnet for Hopkins faculty. Every inch of property, inside and out, has been lovingly updated and renovated with intentionality, high standards and quality-of-life in mind. Enjoy an unheard of amount of private yard space, complete with professional landscaping and hardscaped patio, mature tree foliage and privacy screening, and an off-street parking pad with a juice-box. Connect with neighbors and enjoy your morning coffee on the front porch, then step inside and find a stunning home that maintains all of the original charm of this 1925 home, alongside a modern kitchen, bathrooms and ample closet space. From the front hall, which features an original stained glass window, watch the late afternoon sun bursting through french doors at the back of the home. An addition that features a custom pantry and breakfast island makes for a supersized galley kitchen. A new dishwasher and refrigerator and custom floating shelves offer a modern contrast to the kitchen’s statement piece, a 1950s GE double oven (fully refurbished). The upstairs features two larger bedrooms with doublewide closets and additional storage space, as well as a hallway coat closet and medicine closet. A smaller, third bedroom can flex from office or nursery space, with a second floor porch to take the unobstructed sunset. The lower level has been fully renovated and features an additional office, storage space, laundry room and a large common area that doubles as an additional living room by day and guest bedroom by night, with custom built-in murphy bed. Lower level also boasts a new full basement bathroom and walkout entrance to the rear yard. Beyond the character and charm that awaits within the walls, the incomparable asset of this property lies in the deep backyard and side yard. Adult trees offer a green oasis in an otherwise urban setting, along with a firepit area and hardscaped patio. A new privacy fence hems the space, while carving out off street parking: Head to the grocery store during Remfest without worrying about losing your spot! The home sits one block from: the south gates of Johns Hopkins University, Wyman Park Dell, R House and Remington’s bustling commercial district. Cresmont Avenue is a two-block, one way street featuring a close-knit community known for their “Cresmont Crawl,” an annual streetwide progressive dinner, a Halloween block party, a fall crab feast and impromptu barbecues and happy hours. Couples will find lifelong friends and found families. This is a magical starter home that might just become your forever home.
