Welcome to this hidden gem—a beautiful two-bedroom brick-front home blending contemporary updates with timeless vintage charm. Step into the foyer, which opens to a spacious living room flowing seamlessly into an open dining area and a modern kitchen. Gleaming hardwood floors throughout the main level enhance the open layout and add warmth to the space. A striking spiral staircase leads to an oversized primary bedroom featuring a generous walk-in closet. The second bedroom is also impressively sized. Just beyond a large storage closet is a modern, naturally lit bathroom complete with a Jacuzzi tub and double vanity. The spiral staircase continues to the basement, offering an open-concept space with framing and ceilings already completed—ready for your finishing touches. Add drywall and flooring to create your ideal recreation room, home office, or entertaining space. A washer and dryer hookup is also located in the basement. Conveniently located near shopping and transportation, this home is ideal for a first-time buyer looking to own in Baltimore City at an excellent price, or for an investor seeking a turnkey rental opportunity.
