Stepping inside 5502 North Charles Street one wonders, are we still in Baltimore? Or have we been transported to California? The stunning Spanish Revival home, originally conceived by renowned architects Palmer & Lamdin and later called home by our very own Captain Chesapeake, has recently undergone a transformative renovation. The four bedroom four and a half bathroom home seamlessly blends historic charm with modern luxury. Curved arched doorways. Crown moldings. Custom built-ins. Filled with natural light the open-concept main level is centered around a classic fireplace. A recently renovated chef’s kitchen boasts Calacatta Laza quartz waterfall countertops, custom tile backsplash, two-tone white and navy cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a large center island, and a built-in wine cooler. Not only is the space thought out and practical for daily use, it is elegant and functional when used for entertaining. Off of the kitchen a side door leads to the driveway parking pad and a two car garage. A main-level primary bedroom means you can skip the stairs when retreating to your suite. Tons of closet space in the open-concept closet plus a luxurious ensuite bath complete the space. Upstairs find two additional generously sized bedrooms, both with large ensuite bathrooms that feature custom tile work, stylish vanities, and updated lighting. Either room could also be used as a second primary bedroom. One upper-level bedroom offers direct access to a newly built rooftop deck overlooking a fully fenced level backyard with mature trees, thoughtful landscaping, and a spacious patio. Lots of private space to play, grill, and relax! The finished basement includes a flexible recreation/family room, a fourth bedroom currently set up as a home gym, and an additional full bathroom. Laundry and additional storage on this level. The home’s location right on Charles Street makes daily life very convenient- just minutes to many local schools, easy access north to Towson or south to Johns Hopkins, Penn Station, and downtown Baltimore. This special home has been fully renovated so there is nothing left to do but move in and enjoy!
