Historisches Viertel Von Bolton Hill

Historic character meets thoughtful modern design at 1817 Bolton Street, an 1890s Bolton Hill townhouse reimagined by architectural firm Alter Urban. An original carved wood staircase, oversized front windows, hardwood floors, mantels, and exposed brickwork complement custom cabinetry, clean lines, and an elegant sense of simplicity. The result is a home that feels both architecturally distinctive and warmly inviting, with clever storage and generous closets thoughtfully integrated throughout. The open main level offers a flexible setting for lively gatherings and quiet evenings alike. Custom cabinetry discreetly incorporates an oversized coat closet, powder room, and spacious pantry, while coordinating cabinetry and expansive concrete countertops bring a cohesive design to the kitchen and bar. Above, an open atrium connects the main level with the second-floor den and dedicated office area, allowing natural light to flow between the two floors. Two bright bedrooms and a full bathroom complete the second level. Occupying the third floor, the primary suite offers a private retreat with a soaring ceiling and oversized walk-in closet. The primary bath includes double sinks, a shower, and a separate soaking tub. The loft-style lower level, currently used as a gym, provides room for a media room, office, or recreation space while retaining ample storage. A two-car parking pad is accessible from the walkout lower level or the kitchen balcony. Just beyond the home, Maple Leaf Park is a neighborhood hidden gem—a triangular pocket park with shaded patio seating that offers a welcoming outdoor escape without the upkeep of a large yard. Nearby green spaces include the Park Avenue and Eutaw Place promenade gardens, Fitzgerald Park, and Sumpter Park, with grassy fields, a bocce court, and a playground. Penn Station, MARC and Amtrak service, and the Johns Hopkins shuttle add convenience to life in one of Baltimore’s most distinctive historic neighborhoods.
