For whatever reason, Baltimore’s Christmas traditions seem centered around Hampden. There’s the Mayor’s Christmas parade, Miracle on 34th Street, and shopping local on the Avenue. But beyond the holiday season there’s the everyday Hampden goodness: a giant flamingo, John Waters sightings, beehives galore, HonFest and the Hampden Street Festival, and the highest concentration of restaurants we love in the city. Why would you just visit such a miraculous neighborhood? Why not live there?
729 West 34th Street
Okay, this three-bedroom, one-bathroom rowhouse is actually on 34th Street. The 34th Street. The one with the hubcap Christmas tree and the wagon wheel Frosty and the peaceful happy gawkers looking at all the elaborate decorations and lights. All that’s on the outside, though, but the inside of this house is just as gawk-worthy with its recently remodeled kitchen, huge living room and gorgeous hardwood floors. It’d be a nice place to relax after hanging (all!) those lights. Priced at $245,000.
3012 Keswick Road
This three-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bathroom rowhouse is close to so many things you’d expect it to be a city all by itself. Wyman Park, the Avenue, Johns Hopkins, Jones Falls Trail, Druid Hill Park are all within throwing distance, but if you’d like to get a little farther away know that it’s convenient to I-83 and the light rail. Staying in is a nice option as wel,l with an updated kitchen, a back deck and brick patio, and hardwood floors. Priced at $259,900.
3103 Tilden Drive
This three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bathroom rowhouse is unique in Hampden: it was built in this century. Older houses are great, but they’re not for everyone; some folks like all sorts of modern trappings. Modern trappings like open floorplans, kitchen islands, granite countertops, a master suite… all of which this house has. It is, however, tucked away on a little Hampden backstreet full of green space and quiet, in case you need an escape from all that modernity. Priced at $339,000.
