About this home
202 E. 31st Street offers a rare opportunity to own a lovingly maintained Painted Lady in the heart of Charles Village. Tucked along a quiet side street and cherished by the same owner for the past 48 years, this remarkable residence is filled with historic character, generous space, and endless potential for its next chapter.
A welcoming covered front porch sets the tone, leading into an interior rich with original architectural details, including beautiful wood floors, parlor walls, four custom stained glass windows, original built-in wood closets, and a gracious staircase illuminated by a center hall skylight. The separate dining room is anchored by an elegant fireplace mantle that serves as a striking focal point.
The main level retains its original layout and includes a flexible sitting room/breakfast room that could continue as a cozy retreat or offer the perfect opportunity for a home office, pantry expansion, or the future addition of a laundry room and half bath. The light-filled kitchen showcases the home’s original sink, cabinetry, and pantry. While the previous deck has been removed, the next owner could easily add a new deck or screened porch to create additional indoor/outdoor living space.
Upstairs, the elegant front-facing primary bedroom features stained glass windows and closets with original woodwork. A generously sized middle bedroom offers flexibility for family, guests, or a quiet home office. The hall bathroom retains its timeless charm with original tile, a clawfoot tub, and pedestal sink.
Originally designed as a four-bedroom home, the current layout combines the rear two bedrooms into a dramatic artist’s studio filled with beautiful north-facing light from overhead skylights — an inspiring setting for creative pursuits, a yoga studio, home office, or future restoration into a fourth bedroom if desired.
The walkout basement features unusually high ceilings and a full original bathroom, currently providing excellent storage and laundry space while offering exciting potential for additional finished living space in the future.
Outside, the extra-large rear yard offers abundant room for gardening, entertaining, or play. A one-car parking pad is already in place, with ample space to easily create a second parking spot if desired.
Ideally located in the heart of Charles Village, the home offers convenient access to the Saturday farmers market, neighborhood shops, grocery stores, cafés, breweries, and restaurants. Nearby amenities include the Enoch Pratt Free Library, the YMCA of Central Maryland, the Baltimore Museum of Art, and Wyman Park. Convenient to Johns Hopkins University Homewood campus, MedStar Union Memorial Hospital, public transportation, and the JHU shuttle.
Full of warmth, history, and possibility — and with only three owners since 1914 — 202 E. 31st Street is the kind of home that rarely becomes available, ready for its next owner to honor its past while creating its next chapter....
