Step into this stunning home, where character and comfort come together. The main living area welcomes you with gleaming hardwood floors, exposed beams, and rich wood paneling that exude warmth and charm. A stained glass transom above the front door and an additional stained glass window cast colorful light into the space, setting the tone for the elegant details found throughout. Built-in shelving and an intricately designed radiator cover add both functionality and sophistication to the living room.

The kitchen is a modern chef's dream, featuring granite countertops, classic wood shaker cabinets, and a tile backsplash that complements the faux exposed brick walls. The ceramic tile floor ties the space together, while a full suite of stainless steel appliances, including a disposal and dishwasher, makes cooking and cleanup a breeze. Ample cabinet space ensures you’ll never run out of storage. Just off the kitchen, the laundry room offers convenience —no trips to the basement required for laundry!

Upstairs, the bright hallway showcases custom woodwork and decorative glass details that continue the home’s timeless appeal. The main bedroom overlooks Patterson Park, offering a peaceful view, complete with a built-in bench and radiator cover that doubles as a cozy reading nook. A small den off the main bedroom provides extra space for an office or creative retreat. At the rear of the home, the second bedroom opens to a private balcony. The main bathroom stands out with its unique custom vanity, modern finishes, and durable vinyl plank flooring.

The basement is currently acting as the 3rd bedroom, but could easily be a converted for more living space. The utility room offers plenty of room for storage and a full bath is located in the rear, with a cast-iron tub and ceramic tile tub-surround.

A gas-fired boiler with hot water circulation heats the main floor, with radiant heat keeping the basement cozy. The previous owner installed an electric heat pump on the second floor that offers supplemental heat for the main and second floor, but more importantly, central air.

WalkScore gives 261 South Ellwood a Walker's Paradise score of 93. With a blend of modern updates and preserved character, this home is perfect for those seeking style, functionality, and an unbeatable location. Don't miss the chance to live right across from Baltimore’s iconic Patterson Park, nicknamed ”Best Backyard in Baltimore”. The park consists of open fields of grass, large trees, paved walkways, dog parks, playgrounds, athletic fields, a swimming pool, an ice-skating rink and other signature attractions and buildings.
