850 Aliceanna Street #302 BALTIMORE, MD 21202

Imagine a landmark of elegance like the Beverly Hills Hotel sprouting out of a lima bean field. Sounds outlandish, but this is just what happened as the land was developed into Beverly Hills with Rodeo Drive as the crown jewel. Similarly, its Baltimore equivalent, Harbor East was carved out of what remained of the modest brick houses and decaying industrial buildings (canneries, warehouses, and lumberyards) that were spared from the Great Baltimore Fire of 1904. Today, it is home to several high-rise hotels (including the Four Seasons), glitzy office buildings (like the Legg Mason Headquarters), fine dining (Azumi, Charleston, Ouzo Bay and so many more), and high-end retailers (Anthropologie, J Crew, et al) in a few pedestrian-friendly blocks edged with a 2,000-foot scenic waterfront promenade. A Whole Foods Market is at the ready if you would rather stay in, and even a movie theatre is nearby for big screen viewing. At the heart of Harbor East, stands The National Katyn memorial (the tallest statue in Baltimore) for the Polish lives lost in 1940. Mere steps away is the entrance to 850 Aliceanna St. This property, unit 304, utilizes an artful blend of materials to create visual impact. Wood floors and modern cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, metal ductwork, and exposed concrete (a nod to Le Corbusier perhaps) face massive windows that are dangling just above the “laughter” level below. The open floorplan makes for a spacious feel while allowing easy transitions between the living areas and kitchen, with the island cum breakfast bar. Floating walls separate the spacious bedroom with its own huge windows and reflect the same modernist approach. With so many nearby attractions and such close proximity to businesses in the area, you could do away with a car. However, a designated parking spot is included, and it is located on the same level for ease of access. It is so easy to see why this unit has been in high demand since day one and it remains a wonderful option for either personal use or investment.
