**Space, character, and a private outdoor retreat in the heart of Federal Hill!** Welcome to 1224 South Hanover Street, a distinctive late-1800s Federal Hill rowhome offering something that can be hard to find in the city: over 2,200 square feet of living space in an impressive 15-foot-wide home. Step inside through the welcoming entry vestibule and discover a bright living room full of historic charm, featuring hardwood floors, an exposed brick accent wall, a gas fireplace, and plantation shutters framing the beautiful arched window. The original staircase adds character while creating a natural transition to the additional living space and spacious dining room, ideal for hosting everything from casual dinners to larger gatherings. The generously sized kitchen offers abundant cabinetry and counter space, with direct access to a private, two-tier hardscaped courtyard. Whether you're grilling with friends, enjoying your morning coffee, tending to a few plants, or unwinding at the end of the day, this outdoor space offers a welcome retreat right at home. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite spans the front of the home, with room for a king-sized bed, a large walk-in closet, and a recently updated en-suite bathroom. A separate office or den provides valuable flexibility for working from home, a reading room, or a creative space. A second bedroom suite at the rear of the level features its own full bathroom and closet, while a conveniently located laundry closet completes the floor. The lower level offers substantial storage space along with the home's mechanical systems, providing room for all the extras that city living often makes difficult to accommodate. And then there's the location. Step outside and enjoy the best of Federal Hill, from neighborhood restaurants, local bars, and shopping to parks, the waterfront, and Baltimore's stadiums. Downtown and major commuter routes are also just minutes away, making it easy to enjoy the city while keeping everyday conveniences close at hand. If you've been looking for a home with room to spread out, historic character, a private outdoor space, and an unbeatable walkable location, 1224 South Hanover Street is worth a visit today.
