Create the life you love in 145 W Lafayette Avenue in Bolton Hill. This bright and sunny four-bedroom, two-bath end-of-group townhome is filled with character and charm. Built in 1855, this distinctive residence is one of the few in Bolton Hill to feature a full front garden. Inside, original details shine-hardwood floors, plaster walls, marble mantels, and classic clawfoot tubs-beautifully complemented by thoughtful updates, including double-paned wood replacement windows, custom built-ins, generous dressing rooms with ample closets, and a well-designed kitchen with abundant storage. The main floor offers a welcoming living room with oversized windows, a spacious dining room with a bay window, and a separate kitchen that opens to a private brick courtyard. Upstairs, the second-floor hosts two well-proportioned bedrooms; the front room, currently used as a family room, provides flexible living space with custom storage. The third-floor features two additional bedrooms, each with walk-in closets. The unfinished basement includes laundry and plentiful storage. Comfort is assured year-round with efficient radiator heat throughout and mini-split A/C units on the 2nd and 3rd floors. The roof was recently recoated and comes with a transferable warranty through August 2029. Outdoors, enjoy a front garden highlighted by a lush wisteria covered side fence and a private rear courtyard that could be converted to parking if desired. Perfectly located for commuters and creatives alike, this home offers easy access to Penn Station, MICA, Hopkins, the University of Maryland, and more. With historic character, modern convenience, and a truly special location, this home invites you to live beautifully in the heart of Baltimore.
