Stunning & historically significant, the Mergenthaler mansion is a historic landmark which offers a neighborhood feel within Bolton Hill. Great owner or investor opportunity -- Condo owners are permitted to make their unit a long-term rental!!! Stellar LOCATION -- lower Bolton Hill is DC and local commuter friendly next to the LIGHT RAIL, METRO, PENN STATION and I-83. Arts & institutions nearby include the MICA, UB LAW SCHOOL, BSO, THE LYRIC, MOUNT VERNON, and STATION NORTH restaurants. ⁣Recent building updates include exterior masonry and brownstone restoration, exterior lighting, exterior repairs, and electrical updates are in the process of being upgraded for the entire building. ⁣ This second floor one bedroom unit offers a large den with a built-in bookcase. Bead board and butcher ’s block adorn the galley kitchen overlooking a garden terrace below. End of group natural light throughout. A lovely hallway with designer colors bring this condo to life, and keep the bedroom tucked away for separation and privacy. Shared washer and dryer and private storage unit in basement. ⁣ ⁣⁣ Capital Reserve Fund assessment per Maryland Law is underway. Reach out to listing agent for information. The Property is located in a CHAP (Historical and Architectural Preservation) historic district within Baltimore City, and subject to the Midtown Special Benefits Tax.⁣ A rectilinear red brick rowhouse of the late Victorian era, the home has three major historical points of significance: 1) built by Joseph Hopkins in 1875, nephew of the noted philanthropist, Johns Hopkins, 2) later occupied (1894-1899) by Ottmar Mergenthaler, of which the house gets its name, the inventor of the linotype which revolutionized printing, and 3) William L Marbury, US Attorney General for Maryland. ⁣ You truly can hide away, but be close to city living. Be inspired and infused by the area's architecture or art scene. Enjoy restaurants and cafes such as Llama’s Corner, Cookhouse, On the Hill, Brass Tap and Angeli’s, or nearby Station North which continues to thrive with Alma Cocina Latina, Foraged, Le Comptoir du Vin, The Royal Blue and mainstays such as Charles Theater and Tapas Teatro.
