I previously collaborated with real estate agent Avendui Lacovara on a paid partnership to advertise this house on my Instagram page. I’m including it here because of its unique history and one-of-a-kind interiors.

This Mount Vernon home has had several uses throughout its history, including a first-floor pharmacy popular with students at the nearby Baltimore School for the Arts. The upper floors also served as the original location of the Calvert School, before the school moved to its own building in the neighborhood and eventually their current location in Tuscany-Canterbury. Today, this building offers three levels of living space and could be used as a live-work space or as a one-of-a-kind private home.

The home opens to a fully accessible, stunning gallery space. This massive space features soaring ceilings and oversized windows, and has a kitchenette, half bathroom and an attractive loft space. It could be used as an entertaining space, gallery, showroom, professional studio or small office. An original staircase leads to the home’s main living space, with a sophisticated open kitchen, modern living room and separate dining area. There’s also a convenient half bathroom. The third floor has three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, including a spacious primary suite with a modern en suite bathroom/dressing room.

Built in 1894 as the Evergreen Methodist Protestant Church, this building has been transformed into a one-of-a-kind home. Charming original details include massive stained glass windows, 20-foot vaulted ceilings, and beautiful hardwood floors and woodwork. Plus, a working church steeple bell!

The home opens to a vestibule, and behind it, a massive living room, with an ornate fireplace and large skylight. Perhaps the heart of the home is the open family room, dining area and kitchen behind it. The modern kitchen features custom cabinetry, granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. The main level also contains two bedrooms and an updated full bathroom. There’s also a bonus recreation room and a laundry room. Upstairs, you’ll find a large primary loft, with a modern en suite bathroom.

A private courtyard is at the back of the house and there is off-street parking. The home is tucked away in quiet Evergreen, within walking distance of neighborhood restaurants and the Stony Run Trail.
