Reservoir Hill priced to sell at $425,000. An extraordinary opportunity to own a beautifully restored Victorian in the Mount Royal Terrace section of Reservoir Hill. Best location in the neighborhood! 608 Reservoir Street is the antidote to the predictable renovation. No gray floors. No stripped away character. This is a real Baltimore house with soaring ceilings, heart pine floors, enormous original windows, stained glass, remarkable millwork, and three original fireplaces with period tile mantels. Set on a quiet tree lined corner overlooking a small pocket park, the house has been thoughtfully updated while preserving the details that make it special. The gracious main level offers a large living room with original mantel, a formal dining room made for entertaining, a convenient powder room, and a spacious kitchen with generous cabinetry, excellent workspace, and the original brick cooking hearth. A rear deck overlooks the pocket park and gives the house an unexpected connection to green space. The second floor includes three spacious bedrooms and a recently renovated full bath. The rooms are flexible enough for bedrooms, guest space, home offices, a library, or studio. The entire third floor is devoted to a private owner's suite with wonderful natural light, a refreshed vintage bath, and additional space for a dressing room, office, sitting room, or studio. The house has also benefited from substantial recent investment. Improvements include a refreshed and certified flat roof completed in 2026, rebuilt slate mansard roof completed in 2022, Maryland Historic Trust approved custom third floor windows with copper flashing, complete exterior repainting in historic Rookwood Shutter Green, restoration of the rear sleeping porch and front bay window, new water heater, refinished heart pine floors, fresh interior paint, central air conditioning, and beautifully preserved stained glass. The home was once owned by Carleton Jones, longtime Sunday Sun columnist and author of Streetwise Baltimore, adding another chapter to its remarkable history. Reservoir Hill is known for some of Baltimore's finest Victorian architecture, an engaged neighborhood community, and an incredibly convenient central location. Druid Hill Park, the Maryland Zoo, MICA, Penn Station, Mount Vernon, Bolton Hill, Downtown Baltimore, Johns Hopkins University, the University of Maryland, and many of the city's major cultural institutions are just minutes away. Mount Royal Terrace remains one of Reservoir Hill's most special streets, lined with architecturally significant homes and mature trees. If you have been waiting for a historic Baltimore home with real character, generous space, significant improvements, central air, outdoor space, and a price that leaves room to make it your own, this is the one to see.
