Listing Description

Stunning, revitalized Bolton Hill home on a sought-after private block on John Street. Built in 1850, this home echoes the historic integrity and uniqueness you love, but the homeowner has meticulously updated it, blending the soul of Charm City with modern living so you can move right in.

The first floor welcomes you with an iconic vestibule and a massive living room featuring a large front window and a marble wood-burning fireplace surrounded by built-ins. From the living room, you will find a grand dining room with custom cabinets, two XO wine and beverage refrigerators, and an antique library ladder (2021).

Just off the dining room, you will enjoy the convenience of your renovated first-floor powder room (2023). The kitchen features top-of-the-line appliances, including a KitchenAid refrigerator, dishwasher, and oven (2022), plus a chef-approved Thermador induction cooktop (2024)!

The front bedroom is massive and could easily double as an additional family room; the center room easily fits a king-sized bed; and the rear room offers tons of built-ins, perfect for an office, guest space, or nursery.

The second-floor bathroom was completely renovated in 2026; you will love the heated floors! The top floor is your primary suite and getaway. This floor features a custom walk-through closet to swoon over, a functional laundry room with a Bosch washer and dryer (2024), and a full bathroom with a shower and a soaking tub, plus access to the roof with the potential to add a walkout deck.
