Chester Street Rowhomes

For the same builder behind our Durham Street Rowhomes, I designed this row of five new brick townhomes near Baltimore's harbor. Each home stacks four levels on a narrow 18-foot-wide lot, with a garage at street level and a private roof deck on top.

​

Outside, brick, cast stone sills, bronze double-hung windows and cherry garage and entry doors echo the city's traditional rowhouses. A cornice and a set-back top floor keep the row in scale with the street. Inside, the kitchen, dining and living areas share an open main floor, with the owner's suite and a second bedroom above. The top floor holds a loft with a wet bar, a third bedroom and a roof deck, and owners could add an upper deck reached by a spiral stair.
