Welcome to 1723 Clarkson St. Welcome Home!
From the moment you start the drive down Clarkson St, you will notice one particular house that stands out from the rest. Off to the right stands 1723 Clarkson. A gorgeous, well thought out, well built home with all the amenities and features you expect in your next home.
Built in 2008, the owner didnt want just the average renovation, he wanted 100% custom. Nothing left from the original structure except for the brick walls. So he instructed the builder to gut everything inside from the basement all the way up including the roof. They started with a front and 2 side walls and created everything else you see inside the house from scratch paying attention to even the smallest details.
Because the owner liked tall ceilings, the builder did something rarely seen downtown. A house built within a house. Yes, the entire home is actually built within the brick walls, not onto them. Raised 2 ft higher than your average home, the basement actually has taller ceilings than most homes first floor. This feature allowed the owner to get the ceiling heights he wanted as well as not have to disturb the existing brick or put the floor joists into the brick.
Then they focused their attention to the finishes and this house looks amazing! Every inch of this house was purpose built and well thought out before starting construction. Lets step into 1723 Clarkson for a tour that is guaranteed to impress even the most discerning buyer.
Exterior:
Standing out front of 1723 Clarkson your already in amazement because of the exterior feature that is truly unique to this home. Look up, its got a balcony off the front for views to the west, south and north to the city skyline. You will also see the energy efficient windows encased into the brick surrounds, not just mounted inside. This house is extremely energy efficient.
First Floor:
Step inside the home and that is when you will notice that its not like walking into any other house that you have seen. Its bigger! That's because it was raised 2 ft to get more height out of the basement. As you glance around in amazement, you will notice the gorgeous wood floors that flow seamlessly throughout the first floor. Look to your right and left, there are custom features everywhere you turn. Built in TV & speakers, Crown Moulding, Chair Rail, Recessed Lighting and tons of outlets are just a few of the many features you can see.
The rest of the magic is behind the walls. Owner and contractor worked closely to make this home as technologically advanced as they could. So they pre wired the entire house is HDMI, phone line, & CAT 5 lines. All neatly flowing and easily accessed in one centralized location in the lower level. Its an audio/videophiles dream!
Walk through the light filled living room, past the custom stairs and railing sporting iron spindles. Move into the dining room and kitchen. You can quickly see this custom kitchen has been built by someone who loves to cook and entertain. Custom cabinetry, Silestone countertops, Stainless Steel Appliances, Center Island Gas Cooktop, Recessed Lighting, Crown Moulding, Wainscoting and a built in TV pre wired for cable or cameras!
Kitchen:
You can see that there is a lot more space as you head towards the rear of the home. Its been bumped out an astonishing 15'! Remember this house was well thought out and purposefully with many things in mind. How many row homes in Baltimore have you seen with a walk in Pantry? This house has one as well as a laundry hookup pre plumbed and pre wired just in case you had room mates or guests and didnt want them to have to come up to your private suite to do the laundry. Then you have a beautiful half bath. This is 1 of 5 Bathrooms in the home! Finally on this floor you have the large, 2 car Parking Pad. When out on the pad, look up and you will see there are doors prebuilt into the rear of the house. Remember the owner thought of everything with the future in mind. He had the contractors put doors in the rear of the house on both the 2nd and 3rd floors just in case he wanted to build decks! Smart!
Bedrooms 1 & 2:
Lets head up the beautiful staircase to the second level where you will find that the hallway and one of the bedrooms are decked out in beautiful hard wood flooring. Also notice that the ceilings are 9ft tall! Head to the front of the house for bright and airy Bedroom 1. Take a look at the large, ensuite bathroom, roomy closet and gleaming hardwood floors! You will also notice that the air ducts are recessed creating a tray ceiling. Head back out into the hallway and into Bedroom 2. This room has beautiful, luxurious carpet and its own en suite Bathroom as well as tray ceilings with recessed duct work and lighting. Notice the well thought of door to what could be your future 2nd floor deck! Move on back out into the hallway, we are headed to the top floor master suite !
Master Suite:
Make your way up the custom staircase to the floor that was added to this already amazing home. This is where you will find the tranquil, private oasis that is the Master Suite! This full floor custom master, complete with 9ft ceilings, custom crown moulding, chair rail and 6in baseboards, was built with serenity, privacy, luxury and convenience in mind. Proceed through the master and follow the clean, lustrous hard woods to the stairs with French doors that welcome you to your Private Terrace. Step out onto the large terrace and enjoy expansive views of the city to the west, south and north. Bask for a second in the setting sun and imagine yourself enjoying a morning coffee or a late night glass of wine taking in all the beautiful images of the great city of Baltimore.
Master Closet & Bath:
Step back into the plush master suite and you will notice your Master walk in Closet. This is no ordinary closet, not only can you hang your clothes here, you can also clean them. Built into the closet as a full size washer and dryer! Step out of the closet and make your way on back to the other side of the master suite. Here you will find the custom master bathroom fit for royalty. Large and luxurious, this master bath sports wall to wall custom tile, a huge custom tiled shower, dual sinks on a custom vanity, built in TV and a door that leads to your future 3rd floor deck! You are definitely impressed!
Lower Level:
Head back downstairs and lets take a look at the finished lower level. This spacious basement is complete with new carpet, 8ft of headroom, recessed lighting and a 10 x 10 storage area. The half bath has piping in place to become a full bath should you choose to add a 4th! The lower level area is pre wired for 2 TV's so no matter what you do, you will absolutely enjoy yourself.
