Nicely updated rowhouse in Pigtown
Pigtown, in central southwest Baltimore, gets its name from the pigs that were herded through the streets of the neighborhood in the 19th century when they were transported from the railroads to slaughterhouses. Today, the neighborhood is known for its growing Main Street, annual pig races (with a much happier ending!) and access to the B&O Railroad museum, Carroll Park, and downtown.
Built in 1898, this attractive rowhouse features hardwood floors, exposed brick and updated kitchen and bathrooms. The home has a spacious living room with unique built-in shelves. A separate dining room provides a more formal space to eat, while the nicely updated eat-in kitchen provides a more casual space to dine at the large island. Upstairs, there are two bedrooms, each with their own modern bathroom. Outside, there is a small deck and yard, ideal for those that like to garden or relax outdoors.
