213 S. High Street, Baltimore.
Hot House: That’s Amore! House with Garage in the Heart of Little Italy. 4 Beds/5 Baths. 3,772 Square Feet. Asking price: $925,000.
What: Living in the heart of Little Italy gives you access to so many things – Harbor East, the Inner Harbor, great restaurants, plenty of interesting walks, access to the neighborhood’s bocce courts, and much, much more. A house like this one is why people live in the city!
This house on South High Street in the middle of Little Italy has been fully renovated over the past few years. From its four levels of living space to the beautiful roof-top deck, to the large chef’s kitchen, the house is perfect for someone who likes to cook and entertain friends and family.
On the ground floor is a one car garage, a huge premium in this neighborhood. You will never have to hunt for a spot, or use the local valet service to park your car. This level also houses a family room, complete with a built-in wet bar, a great place to watch football games with friends. There is also a laundry room on this level.
As you enter the house from a set of stairs from the street, you will see a huge open-plan layout with the living and dining areas, plus the large kitchen. There is a fireplace in the living area, plus a large window which overlooks the street scene, as well as a lovely tree right out front.
The kitchen features a large center island which seats six, plus a Belfast sink overlooking the bocce courts, a six-burner gas range, and coffered ceilings.
The various bedrooms and bathrooms are also spacious, and balcony runs along the front of the house. The bathrooms feature either a soaking tup or a walk-in shower for your convenience.
One of the great assets of this house is the roof-top deck that covers the footprint of the house. It has a full wet bar, and a full bath! The deck also has a full kitchen, and indoor lounging space. It is the most perfect space to watch the fireworks and drone show. You also have a front-row seat for the local bocce courts and all the entertainment that is bocce.
Where: Honestly, I hope I really don’t have to explain where Little Italy is located! But if you don’t know, it’s at the end of the Jones Falls Expressway, between the Inner Harbor and Harbor East. There is so much around the immediate area, such as a wide range of Italian and other restaurants, shopping at Harbor East, the local Whole Foods and more!
Final Appraisal: This house would be perfect for empty nesters who love to entertain. But there is room for the kids to come home for holidays or for the summer. Since there are no grounds, that means no lawn to mow or garden to tend. Little Italy is one of Baltimore’s most vibrant and lively neighborhoods. The listing for the house is here.
