My clients reserve the right to accept an offer at any time*** A rare and remarkable Federal Hill area home. Last on the market over two decades ago, you’ll find over 3000 sq’ of open floor-planned excellence awaiting you in this standout home. At over 25’ wide, one could playfully call it a Federal Hill double-wide. Previously the location of Mack's Hardware Store in the 1970s and later, the art studio of the noted American artist Salvatore Scarpitta, this home sensitively retains a sense of its own rich history even as it’s been rendered notably contemporary in every way. With the restored, authentic storefront, hardwood floors, natural slate tile, walnut wood throughout, glass galore and soaring, original tongue and groove ceilings, the space is notably grand, light-filled, airy, and inviting. The large, bright Kitchen is a true centerpiece—featuring custom concrete countertops, stainless steel appliances, a four-stool bar, and a custom layout designed for easy meal creation and effortless entertaining. Whether you're cooking for two or twenty, this kitchen handles it all. Next to it, there’s plenty of space for a full-sized dining table or a cozy conversation area, depending on how you love to live and gather. The Kitchen opens to a huge loft style Living Room and Library space with a full wall of shelving and a custom library ladder—perfect for displaying your favorite books, art, or curated collections. Beyond that is the glass enclosed breezeway and a welcoming main entry.  Included on the main level you will find a convenient Powder Room, Pantry, and a generous Mudroom.  On the second floor you will find 3 large Bedrooms and 2 Full Baths. The Primary Bedroom includes a Full Bath complete with custom walk-in shower, claw foot tub, and a custom double vanity. A large Walk-in Closet and a second Office space are also included in the Primary Suite. The second Bedroom includes double closets and plenty of built-in storage, and the third Bedroom includes a large closet and private little Reading Nook is suspended playfully over the main stair.  A super convenient Laundry space with a full sized washer and dryer is also located on the second floor. Soaring high ceilings and huge windows bathe the second floor in natural light. From here, follow the custom ship ladder stairway to the roof for amazing views and relaxation. Returning indoors and heading downstairs, the expansive Basement offers full-height ceilings throughout. The open stair leads to a glass-walled office space, a workout room, a large storage area, and a 400 square foot volume the current owner uses as a full woodworking shop. The basement bath area is currently set up as a bike wash and storage room to suit the needs of the current owner, but could just as easily be used as a pet wash area or converted back to a full bath. This wonderful home is just waiting for its perfect people to come enjoy everything it has to offer. Whether you’re looking for a spacious house, a perfect live-work space or the ideal spot for your nascent business venture, this place has it all. This super location is walking distance to literally everything you want to experience in Federal Hill and is surrounded by permit-only parking. A pool membership to Otterbein Swim Club is also included with this home, the waiting list for which is currently extended through 2029!
