Welcome to Ridgely’s Delight, where historic Baltimore character meets a thoughtfully renovated interior with extensive custom upgrades. This circa-1895 brick townhome spans three finished levels and combines original architectural elements with modern systems, premium materials, and exceptionally efficient use of space. Wide-plank Hevea wood flooring, custom woodwork, marble and quartz accents, a winding staircase with brass gallery rails, abundant natural light from the upper-level skylight, and fireplaces on all three levels give the home a character rarely found in newer construction. The kitchen has been extensively redesigned to maximize both function and storage. Features include custom non-MDF Shaker plywood cabinetry with ceiling molding and refrigerator casing, chevron-pattern Hevea butcher-block countertops, coordinating custom open shelving, a large stainless-steel farmhouse sink, touchless faucet, Moen disposal, induction cooktop, steam/convection wall oven, built-in convertible range hood, Whirlpool dishwasher, and a pull-out dual-tier pantry system. Vertical storage compartments provide dedicated space for cutting boards and baking sheets, while the French Provençal-inspired marble backsplash, decorative bee mosaic, Art Deco lighting, and coordinated hardware add distinctive architectural detail. The main living area is anchored by an operating brick fireplace finished with Troya marble, including a marble running-bond hearth extension. Quartz stacked-stone accents, custom trim, wide-plank flooring, and remote-controlled retractable-blade ceiling fans with multiple LED settings continue the home's combination of historic character and contemporary functionality. The renovation also incorporates sound-reducing materials, including acoustic coating and noise-proofing compound. Upstairs, the loft-style configuration includes the primary bedroom, den, and renovated full bath beneath a skylight overlooking the dramatic stairwell. The primary bedroom features a custom-installed 72-inch electric fireplace with remote control, quartz stone veneer, and Troya marble detailing. The bathroom includes Troya Cappuccino marble, contemporary Juniper tile, an original cast-iron enamel tub with updated fixtures, rainfall shower head, oversized mirrored medicine cabinet, upgraded exhaust fan with heater, brass accents, and a furniture-inspired vanity with custom top. The finished lower level substantially expands the home's flexibility with a Shaker-style feature wall, operating brick fireplace with an 18-by-18-inch Troya marble hearth, additional full bath, built-in storage, and a separately tiled utility room. The utility area includes a front-loading LG ventless combination washer and dryer with steam technology, eliminating the need for separate machines while preserving valuable space. Additional improvements include upgraded plumbing in the kitchen, new fixtures and appliances, USB-equipped electrical receptacles, modern solid lever door hardware, programmable thermostat, custom storage solutions, specialty lighting, and extensive use of durable materials including cement backer board, Durock, marble, quartz veneer, and Hevea wood. Many of the improvements were selected specifically to combine durability with the home's historic aesthetic. Outside, the private fenced courtyard creates an unusually inviting urban retreat. Improvements include a covered timber portico with New England barn-style braces, brick-paver patio, Cambridge trellis, Belgian-block detailing, landscaping, and a six-foot wood fence incorporating weather-protected corrugated metal panels and kiln-dried wood elements. Historic exterior modifications, including concealed recycling-storage gates, were completed with CHAP approval and permits. Situated on a distinctive Belgian-block street within the Ridgely’s Delight Historic District, the property offers a rare combination of Baltimore history and highly individualized modern design.
