Welcome to your incredible new home in historic Fells Point. Step from double wide and tree lined S. Ann Street into #512 and immediately feel the warmth given to the care and preservation of this home since 1860. Original pine floors shine in the front living room entrance and continue up to the third floor. Plantation shutters keep passers by out of view and sunshine in throughout the mornings. Built in bookshelving surrounds the fireplace and adds an air of sophistication where you’ll enjoy having guests over for game nights or reading on quiet weekends. This living room flows seamlessly into the dining room area which is just before the gorgeous galley style kitchen. There is also a glass patio door that ties your bricked side yard into the rear garden sanctuary.
The kitchen is the central hub of this lovely home. You’ll enjoy large windows along the south facing wall perfect for tending herbs year round. It’s a nice feel to have 2 prep areas on either side of the deep sink that look out into your side courtyard. On the opposite wall you’ll find a large stainless fridge, gas range, and microwave all tucked into the chestnut colored cabinetry. This side is lit with bright recessed lighting that accents the delightful granite counters and terracotta tile flooring. Guests will be sure to comment on the exposed wooden beams and brick fireplace #2 that makes for a perfectly awesome wine storage area.
Toward the rear of 512 S. Ann you’ll find a spacious powder room and laundry room off the hall leading back to the quiet and cozy family room. You’ll spend hours back here. The wrought iron free standing stove does work and you can enjoy fires all winter long while watching the snowfall blanket the city. The cathedral ceiling allows for ample wall decorating space and the rear wall is practically all glass letting in spectacular sunset views. The glass doors slide open into one of the largest city gardens in Fells Point at nearly 70 ft of backyard space. The prior owner was a master gardener and this space is beautiful year round. The rear wall area had been a cooperage (a barrel makers shed) at some point in the history of this home. It would make a great firepit or hammock area in the future.
The second floor of this home features 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths. The primary bedroom extends over the breezeway area making it almost 19 feet wide. 3 windows can be opened on nice days and a skylight let's natural light seep into the ensuite bath. The original hardwood flooring is up here too! You’ll love the walk-in and the secondary corner closet alongside another decorative fireplace that gives such ambiance and history to the room. Bedroom 2 is narrow but deep and would make a perfect nursery, home office, or home gym. The ceiling here is also a high slope and shows off more of the original roofing beams. Bedroom 3 is the top floor and is a loft style room. The eaves are low along the roof line but windows are cut in nicely to give an abundance of head room and light.
Located just a door down from Peter’s Inn and a few blocks walking distance to Thames St this is an ideal location. A 5 minute bike ride could have you playing sports or enjoying the greenery of Patterson Park or downtown enjoying the Inner Harbor. Don’t miss out on this home! Schedule your tour today.
