Fells Point Historic District

A rare opportunity to own a distinguished historic residence in the heart of Fell’s Point, 1807 Lancaster Street combines centuries of Baltimore history with substantial living space, unrivaled private outdoor space, and thoughtful modern improvements. Dating to circa 1782, this stand-alone historic brick home sits within the Fell’s Point Historic District, just one block from the waterfront and the neighborhood’s celebrated restaurants, shops, and waterfront destinations, but on a quiet, coveted street.

The property is two lots that have been thoughtfully combined. Inside the 36-foot wide and 3,456 square feet, you will find an incredible main home with an elevator, attached two-car garage, 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, living room with wood-burning fireplace with slate hearth, a sitting room with New Orleans-style balcony overlooking the stunning gardens, a formal dining room, a gourmet kitchen, and laundry. Immediately adjacent but fully connected is a separate, one-level, self-contained one-bedroom, one-full-bath living space with its own entrance, living room, full eat-in kitchen, and laundry. This would function wonderfully as an in-law suite, au pair suite, income suite/rental, or separate office space. It could also be easily used as part of a larger main home without any structural changes needed.

The main home is entered through the 2 car garage, or via the lighted brick sally port, and its custom arched wood entry door is impressive. The home has classic architectural character throughout including oak flooring, chair rail, and crown molding. The gourmet kitchen features extensive granite countertops and a mix of white and custom wood cabinets. The large full marble bath is luxurious and includes a Kohler enameled cast-iron soaking tub and separate walk in shower, plus double vanity. The primary bedroom is very large and has a cedar-lined walk-in closet and bonus space that could easily accommodate an office or den area. The elevator arrives directly to the primary bedroom. The second and third bedrooms on this level are spacious and light-filled. Skylights and warm exposed brick throughout provide a lovely warmth and brightness to the home. The home has abundant storage, large closets, and custom built-in shelving and cabinetry that add everyday functionality. All 3 levels of the home are connected by an elevator sized to accommodate furniture. The home also has a gorgeous, custom made wood staircase. The two car heated, attached garage has remote entry and cabinetry.

Outdoor living is a defining feature. A 1,500-square-foot walled English garden with a garden shed offers exceptional privacy and old-world charm. A lighted ’Sally Port’ brick walkway leads into the garden through a locked iron gate, creating a memorable arrival and a peaceful retreat in the city. It’s truly hard to describe how wonderful this space is until you are standing in it and taking in all the beautiful gardens, special nooks, and extensive historical details.

Recent improvements include a 2023 roof, 2019 Velux skylights, new windows in 2021, new carpet in 2025, a Carrier gas furnace and A/C compressor replacement in 2018, and three custom exterior doors and light panels crafted from Spanish cedar with Baldwin locks. The brick exterior has also been recently repointed.

Rich in history, distinctive in architecture, and unusually complete in its combination of living space, parking, elevator access, private garden and income possibilities, 1807 Lancaster Street presents a singular opportunity to experience historic Fell’s Point at an exceptional level.
