This home, once the Central Avenue Enoch Pratt library branch, is probably one of the most unique properties on the market in Baltimore right now.

The home features original hardwood floors, exposed beams and brick, and an incredible floating steel staircase. There are three bedrooms, four full bathrooms and two kitchens. The main living space is open and massive, while more private spaces are upstairs. There’s also a large basement space with lots of potential.
