This cozy rowhouse is in a prime location, less than a block from Federal Hill Park, and just around the corner from the Inner Harbor.

Upstairs, there are two bedrooms and a full bathroom. The primary bedroom has custom closets and the second bedroom has exposed brick. At under 800 square feet in the heart of Federal Hill, this home is perfect for someone who doesn’t need much space but wants to be close to shops, restaurants, parks and the water.

Federal Hill Park is small, but lively. It features a walking path, a playground and benches to take in the city views. Rash Field Park sits below, and recently underwent the first phase of its multimillion dollar renovation with new play spaces, a skate park and an overlook. Phase two promises a rejuvenated beach volleyball area, a community lawn, a plaza and gardens.

This rowhouse is full of charm and conveniently faces Patterson Park. An inviting front porch welcomes you, leading to hardwood floors, 9-foot ceilings and one-of-a-kind details.

Upstairs, you’ll find two bedrooms and a full bathroom. The primary bedroom is large, with a walk-in closet and space for a sitting area. The second bedroom has a small porch.

Patterson Park is one of the city’s most beloved parks. It boasts miles of walking paths, a pool, boat lake, dog park, recreation center, an ice skating rink and two playgrounds. It’s perhaps best known for the Patterson Park Observatory, an iconic Baltimore structure that provides beautiful views of the city.

This Remington rowhouse is fully updated and just blocks from both the Wyman Park Dell and the Stony Run Trail. An open concept first level features a bright living room with exposed wood and a sleek, updated kitchen. A patio with newly installed turf off the kitchen provides valuable outdoor space.

The home is located across the street from R. House and between the Wyman Park Dell and the Stony Run Trail. The Wyman Park Dell is a unique 16-acre public park with winding paths, a lower lawn and a playground. The Stony Run Trail is a 3-mile wooded walking trail that goes from Remington to Roland Park, and provides a surprising escape from the hums of the city on what was once part of the Ma & Pa Railroad.
