Create the life you love in historic Bolton Hill. Step into a living work of art—where history, architecture, and imagination converge to create a home like no other. Built in 1875, this extraordinary structure has lived many lives: once a church, a community center, a synagogue, and since 2005, a one-of-a-kind private residence. Now, it invites its next steward to continue its remarkable story. Inside, you'll be captivated by the grand, loft-inspired living space with soaring, light-filled volume that evokes the awe of its sacred past while embracing the openness of contemporary design. Toward the rear, a more intimate tone takes hold: the kitchen and family room radiate warmth and comfort, ideal for quiet mornings or lively gatherings. A chef’s dream, the kitchen features an Aga range, double wall ovens, and abundant storage—all seamlessly integrated into an elegant and functional space. The main level also includes a full bath and a versatile bedroom, currently styled as a cozy den media room. Upstairs, take the elevator or stairs to a level that balances serenity and spectacle. The primary suite is a showpiece unto itself—beautifully proportioned and thoughtfully appointed. Three additional bedrooms, full sized laundry, and generous storage ensure comfort and practicality. For a truly poetic perspective, ascend “the bridge” to a sun-lit sitting area beneath the dramatic upper triangle window—a contemplative space that offers sweeping views over the home’s central volume, perfect for reading, reflection, or simply absorbing the beauty of your surroundings. The lower level offers incredible flexibility: a playroom or gym, a workshop, gallery-style storage, and additional unfinished areas ready for your vision. Outdoors, the beauty continues. A generous deck overlooks an expansive fenced rear yard, ideal for gardening, or simply basking in the sun. The fenced side yard includes a two-car parking pad, marrying convenience with elegance. This singular artist’s sanctuary is conveniently located in historic Bolton Hill. Just minutes from Baltimore's Penn Station, this home makes traveling to Washington, D.C., or New York City a pleasure. Just minutes from MICA, enjoy access to gallery shows, exhibitions, lectures, ArtWalk, and other cultural events. Immerse yourself in Baltimore’s vibrant arts and dining scenes with a short stroll to Meyerhoff Symphony Hall, The Lyric Theater, Theater Project, Everyman Theater, and The Charles. Walkable dining options in Bolton Hill and Station North include Cook House, On the Hill, Llama’s Corner Cafe, Alma Cocina Latina, Foraged, and Le Comptoir du Vin, with even more choices in nearby Mount Vernon. This is not just a residence, it’s an experience. A rare opportunity to live within art, within history, and within a space that inspires.
