Two-row houses in one! 905 Mchenry is one of the most unique and rare properties in Baltimore City. The first thing you'll notice when you walk into this historic space is the gorgeous 150-year-old wide-board pine flooring. If you listen carefully, with every step, this floor will reveal stories from the past and tell you beautiful tales. The second thing you will notice about this home, built in the 1840s, is the 26-foot-wide space it offers. This property was bought in the early 2000s and meticulously restored and renovated by Matthew McConville, an internationally known artist based in Maryland who honors nature's beauty and history. Mr. McConville made painstaking efforts to find materials from the 1800s to be the most authentic possible. You will notice the beautiful mantels, original brick walls, 8 fireplaces (yes, there is even a fireplace in the bathroom), its handcrafted artisan cabinetry, beautiful black soapstone countertops, and secret cubbies. Now, this would not be an artist's creation without art. Beautiful hand-painted tiles embrace the kitchen area, and sculptured faces of ancient Greek Gods elevate the energy and bring protection to all that reside in this magical home. The windows are carefully positioned so one can enjoy a unique view from each one. Savor the history of the Smithsonian Institution's B&O Railroad Museum. This is the birthplace of American railroading. It was here at this very spot where the first stone of the railroad was laid, where the nation's first mile of commercial railroad was constructed. Antique train carriages are in plain view. But don't be misled. This home very craftily marries the old with the new 21st-century modern necessities. It offers double-pane windows throughout the house, built-ins in almost every room, walk-in closets, and 3 great size bedrooms on the second level with less than 5 years of AC, HVAC, and a stove/range. The brick fireplace in the living room was restored with a cast Iron natural gas fireplace that cost more than $8,000. The property also offers an extra large washer and dryer, an alarm system hidden behind a picture frame, and an enclosed sunroom where you can enjoy the flowers blooming in the spring and cuddle with a nice blanket while watching the snowfall in the winter. A fully finished basement offers its own entrance from the main street, a full bathroom, a bedroom, a sitting room, and an office. It's a perfect scenario to be used as an In-law unit or rent out to a college student for extra income. There are over 5 graduate schools (University of Maryland: Medical School, Dental School, Business School, Nursing School, and Law School ), all within walking distance. One of the reasons why this neighborhood is filled with vibrant energy, gorgeous cobblestone streets, murals, and plenty of dogs to meet on your way to class. The 3rd floor offers over 600 sq. feet of attic space with an A-Frame charm and colonial-style dormer windows that can be converted into a great office or a guest's suite. This property is less than a mile walk to Inner Harbor, Federal Hill, Biopark, the Ravens and Orioles stadium. It is conveniently situated close to MLK, I-95, I-395, BWI, and Camden MARC line, where you can easily access DC. If you qualify for the "Live Where You Work" program, there are grants made available by the city of Baltimore that can assist with the down payment and/or closing cost.
