This expansive, one-of-a-kind residence sits just off the Baltimore waterfront at the crossroads of three iconic neighborhoods—offering an exceptional blend of character, scale, and undeniable city amenities, all in a single address. With approximately 3,100 sq. ft., the home was expertly renovated and expanded only a few years ago to showcase stylish, high-end finishes throughout while preserving plenty of historic charm. Inside, you’ll find 3 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, and a host of unique features, including a potential in-law suite or rentable lower-level apartment with private access, plus a generous exterior storage area perfect for bikes and outdoor gear.

Even before you step inside, the exterior sets the stage with its grand scale, original marble details, and a distinctive storefront-style window that hints at the thoughtful design that unfolds within. From your front door, Baltimore’s waterfront glimmers at the end of the street; just beyond, Patterson Park’s sweeping green space—Baltimore’s own “Central Park”—comes alive with free summer concerts, community events, playgrounds, sports fields, and dog parks. The striking architecture of Holy Rosary Church stands just across the street, and Johns Hopkins Hospital anchors the backdrop. Meanwhile, the vibrant energy of Canton, the historic charm of Fells Point, and the luxury of Harbor East all unfold within an easy stroll.

Once inside, the home immediately sets its tone—warm, dramatic, and unmistakably Baltimore, the very essence of why this city is known as “Charm City.” Wide-plank floors, exposed brick, and soaring raftered ceilings wrap the main level in character, while industrial details blend effortlessly with modern finishes and historic craftsmanship. The result is a space that feels cohesive, inviting, and rich with personality.

To the right of the foyer, the living area opens up with a generous sense of volume. Lofted ceilings, exposed beams, and an original brick wall are anchored by a signature storefront-style window that fills the room with natural light. The effect is both cozy and expansive—a place where textures, height, and light come together in a way that feels instantly memorable. It’s the kind of room you can picture yourself in right away, and one that will quickly become a natural gathering place within the home.

To the left of the foyer, the eat-in kitchen stuns with a spacious center island, quartz countertops, a custom marble backsplash that anchors the design of the kitchen, and stainless steel appliances. There is plenty of room for a full dining setup, and a stylish powder room and coat closet add convenience to the main level.

The second floor offers two generously sized owner suites, each with walk-in closets, abundant natural light, and gorgeously remodeled en suite bathrooms. A dedicated laundry room on this level makes everyday living effortless.

Ascend one more level to discover an unexpected treat: a sun-drenched bonus room wrapped in windows and complete with an industrial-style wet bar. This lofted sunroom flows directly onto a private rooftop deck—recently replaced and covered by a transferable roof warranty. Whether hosting friends and family, watching fireworks and air shows, or enjoying morning coffee, this level offers a truly unforgettable retreat.

The fully finished basement adds yet another layer of possibility. With high ceilings, its own entrance, a living area with wet bar/kitchenette, a full bathroom, and bedroom, it’s perfect as a casual hangout, home office, gym, au pair suite—or, for the savvy homeowner, an income-producing rental opportunity.

Outside, an additional exterior storage room provides ample space for bikes, toys, and gardening supplies. And with one year of prepaid parking in the nearby church lot included, convenience is truly built in.

And what more could you ask for, location-wise? Whether you’re an employee at Johns Hopkins Hospital seeking a short commute or a city lover who wants to walk everywhere, this home is ideally situated. Enjoy hundreds of nearby shops and restaurants, stroll along the waterfront promenade, hop on the water taxi, or take advantage of Patterson Park’s year-round amenities—from concerts and community events to playgrounds, sports fields, trails, and dog parks. At 401 S. Chester, you can fully embrace every amenity the city has to offer, all while living in one of the most notable and architecturally unique homes in the area.
