1120 SAINT PAUL ST #15,BALTIMORE,MD,21202,BALTIMORE CITY

Listing details

The crown jewel of the building, Unit 15 is a parlor-level suite of extraordinary scale and craftsmanship. Soaring 15' ceilings, monumental 9' entry doors, and intricately carved wooden mantels establish a remarkable sense of presence from the moment you arrive. The double parlors are distinguished by burl wood doors and paneling rising to the chair rail, restored in the mid-1990s when the current owner painstakingly stripped decades of shellac to reveal their natural glow. Light pours through two 11' east-facing windows overlooking Saint Paul Street and additional 9' north-facing windows along Biddle Street, framing the suite with dramatic exposures. At its center, a set of monumental burl-wood double doors — each 11' tall and 4'5" wide, spanning nearly 9' across — divide the rooms with theatrical presence. Unit 15’s cinematic elegance even drew Hollywood: scenes from The Accidental Tourist starring Geena Davis, William Hurt, and Kathleen Turner were filmed here. Today, the suite includes a kitchenette and full bath, requiring only the addition of a range or cooktop to be fully residential. With its combination of scale, materials, and provenance, Unit 15 stands as a one-of-a-kind opportunity in Mount Vernon. The History: History: At the heart of Mount Vernon, 1118 and 1120 Saint Paul Street embody Baltimore’s architectural legacy. Designed and once occupied by George A.
