An absolute dreamy, expansive offering with SIX bedrooms and high ceilings, 1206 John Street’s original details have been meticulously preserved. Irreplaceable and priceless original details! Natural and magical light throughout from a skylight shaft and original, wavy glass windows. Original millwork and stairs, fireplace mantles, pocket doors, functioning transom windows, curved plaster walls, butler’s pantry turned half bath, and a surprise, built-in cocktail nook make this home exceptional. Restored and preserved by the previous owner, one of Baltimore’s premier heritage and preservationists, and lovingly brought to life with the current owners. ⁣
