1318 Richardson has been cherished by the same owner for the past 12 years and is now ready to be enjoyed by the next generation of Locust Pointers. This home is unique for the area?offering a larger-than-average footprint with 4 spacious bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, a family room, courtyard, brand-new rooftop deck, and a two-car garage with an additional third parking space behind it.
The layout also offers rare versatility: one of the bedrooms functions as an au pair suite but could easily be used as a private home office, guest room, in-law suite, or a teenager?s dream space. Beyond its walls, this community presents something priceless?a close-knit group of neighbors that makes it feel more like a suburban cul-de-sac, all within a vibrant, walkable urban setting and without a restrictive HOA.
Before stepping inside, take a moment to soak in the serenity of the quiet, tree-lined street. Inside, you?re greeted by oversized windows, newly installed hardwood floors, and a calming neutral palette. The thoughtfully designed entryway includes built-in storage and a convenient coat closet. Also on this level is a true main-floor bedroom with its own private full bath. Just beyond, a spacious family room offers a welcoming space to relax or gather. One of the home?s most distinctive features is the atrium-style courtyard just off the family room?a perfect space for a kids? play area or an indoor-outdoor lounge. The attached two-car garage is accessible from the courtyard and interior, with an additional third off-street parking space behind it?an invaluable feature in city living.
Behind the home, a communal area offers even more appeal?where neighbors gather, kids ride bikes, and community block parties unfold. It?s a shared space that brings people together and sets this pocket of Locust Point apart.
Upstairs, the open-concept floorplan flows naturally. The dining area is ideal for family gatherings or dinner parties, while the kitchen?centrally located?serves as the heart of the home, easily accessible from both dining and living spaces. The generous living room is anchored by a cozy gas fireplace, creating warmth and ambiance on cooler nights. A conveniently located half bathroom adds to this level?s functionality.
Continue to the top floor, where two spacious bedrooms and two full bathrooms await. The primary suite offers calming tones and an uncommon amount of space for city living. It includes a large walk-in closet and a luxurious en-suite bath with double vanity, walk-in shower, and soaking tub. The second bedroom is impressively large?easily shared or could be divided into two rooms?and features a custom closet system. Just outside is a full hall bath with a double vanity and tub/shower combination?perfect for kids or guests.
The top level of the home is dedicated to a full-length rooftop deck with sweeping, unobstructed views of Locust Point. A new roof was installed in 2023, making it a stress-free space that?s ready to be enjoyed. Whether hosting friends, watching fireworks, or enjoying the air shows, this deck is the perfect perch to relax and take in the city.
One of the most unique features is the 4th bedroom/au pair suite. Tucked away via a second staircase off the family room, this rare space offers both privacy and flexibility. It includes ample space, a private full bathroom, and interior access?ideal for guests, in-laws, or a live-in caregiver.
This home has been lovingly maintained and has seen significant updates, including a new roof and rooftop deck (2023), newer HVAC/furnace, water heater, kitchen appliances, and washer/dryer. Additional upgrades include recessed lighting, a custom-built fireplace, and new hardwood floors on the first level.
With generous space, flexible living options, and all major systems updated, all that?s left to do is move in and enjoy the best of city living?right in the heart of one of Baltimore?s most beloved neighborhoods.
