We know that to some of you folks – the entrepreneurial and freelancing sorts – living close to work is a moot point: your home is where you work. In your honor we’re focusing this week on two-bedroom residences, with patios, that can easily be transformed into home offices. Convert the second bedroom into a workplace and you’re in business, with a nice little getaway downstairs for hosting clients or beating the cabin fever that can come with working at home.
Locust Point: 1420 Hull Street
We really like this two-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath rowhouse in Locust Point because, well, there’s nothing not to like. There’s checkerboard tile in the kitchen. There’s a back patio with a pergola that makes us wonder what rowhomes in ancient Greece must have looked like. There’s Locust Point, a neighborhood in the best sense, a place where you can live. Throw in the local restaurants and shops – plus the fact that you can take a water taxi to the Inner Harbor – and you’ve got a nice little find. Priced at $165,000.
Did the Ancient Greeks have water taxis?
Federal Hill: 1010 Patapsco Street
For whatever reason, we think of “Hansel & Gretel” when we look at this house. And while it’s not made out of candy, it does seem like an awfully sweet place to live. It has two bedrooms and one bath, a brick back patio and wood floors throughout, and other little touches such as two fireplaces (one wood, one gas), a spiral staircase, and lots of exposed brick – plus a Jacuzzi tub and a recent price reduction (to $225,000 from $275,000).
It's not gingerbread, but we like the exposed brick.
Last up is this two-bedroom, one-and-a-half bath rowhouse in Federal Hill. It’s on the end of the row – our favorite position for a rowhouse because of all the extra light it allows in. We’re fans of the hardwood floors in the living room and the carpeted upstairs. The backyard patio is perfect for entertaining friends or clients during the warmer months, and the inside is cozy and warm, with two working fireplaces for the winter. Priced at $239,900.
Hardwood floors, light, and not one but two working fireplaces.
