Well then, look no further than this striking Federal Hill residence where historic texture meets modern edge. Welcome to 1240 Riverside Avenue.
Originally reimagined by New Renaissance Architects and Builders, this 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home is defined by its exposed brick walls, floating steel staircase, and dramatic industrial ductwork, creating a truly one-of-a-kind interior aesthetic. The main living space is both warm and contemporary, with an effortless flow into the dining and kitchen areas.
The kitchen stands out with custom cabinetry, updated appliances, modern tile flooring, and a stylish backsplash, opening to a flexible dining area filled with natural light. From here you can head out to your convenient parking pad and rear outdoor space - large enough to accommodate a grill, plantings and large vehicle.
Multiple living areas—including a cozy lower-level den/home office and an expansive upper family room—offer versatility for entertaining, working, or relaxing.
Upstairs, you’ll find generously sized bedrooms with great natural light. The updated baths add a polished feel.
Outdoor living reaches its peak on the spacious rooftop deck made for entertaining and unwinding with sweeping panoramic city views that hit differently at sunset.
Extensive updates in the last 5 years include, but are not limited to: replaced windows, new roofing and roof deck surface, replaced HVAC and a new water heater. This list goes on . . . .
All of this, just moments from the best of Federal Hill—parks, restaurants, and the Inner Harbor—This is the one buyers save, send, and schedule immediately!
