House Crazy Sarah doesn’t usually feature condos but when she saw this gorgeous 1925 Beaux-Arts building with a luxurious 2-bedroom unit for sale for a decent price, she had to pounce.
The setting is the historic Roland Park Condominium complex – a unique and elegant property in Baltimore, Maryland.
This 1925 Beaux-Arts building was designed by renowned American architect, Edward L. Palmer.
It is such a stately, well-kept historic building, you would expect the prices to be sky-high.
But, that’s not the case. Typically these units go for less than $250,000!
Granted, the monthly HOA fees are $910.
This particular unit is currently listed for sale for $245,000.
Besides being a gorgeous historic building, the other selling point is the beautiful courtyard and gardens that are available for residents’ use.
What a tranquil oasis in the city!
Apartment J1, is a 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom unit located on the first floor.
Historic door-knocker is included!
The entry foyer for this unit is large enough to be used as a home office or library, but in this case, it is utilized to showcase some of the seller’s fabulous art pieces.
This apartment is only 1,068 square feet but it feels more spacious with the high ceilings and large rooms.
The hardwood floors are original.
The main room features a living room/dining room combo.
Oversized windows at the front of the condo overlook the charming pond and fountain.
The kitchen has been extensively upgraded.
The result is a modern, efficient workspace, with new cabinets, floors, countertops, and appliances.
One holdover that predates the renovation: the quaint old heat radiator.
One of the two bedrooms is set up as a library/den/office space.
The bathroom is truly a vintage treat…
In nearly untouched condition, the bathroom includes the original tub, sink, and octagonal tile floor.
The master bedroom is spacious and light-filled.
One last peek at the window in the foyer:
Imagine the cool breeze wafting in the window from the gardens outside.
Additional features include a parking garage for residents and a full-time property manager on site.
You can live a life of refined luxury in the city of Baltimore for a decent price!
