What: The Warrington is Baltimore’s most beautiful and classic apartment building, and this apartment is at the very tip-top of that in terms of location, elegance, and uniqueness. When you look at the drone photos of it, the apartment looks like a classical Georgian mansion landed on the top of an elegant brick apartment building.
As the neighborhood of Guilford was being built, the architects, Wyatt & Nolting understood that any building they designed for the area would need to be equal to or exceed what was being in the design of the single homes. And at the Warrington, they fulfilled their mission.
As you enter, you will be delighted by the beautiful marble floor and the elegant winding staircase. As you move forward, you will see the gracious open-plan living and dining rooms, with their eleven-foot ceilings.
Moving into the study, there are three sets of French doors which lead out onto the apartment’s showpiece: the large patio, overlooking Guilford, Johns Hopkins and the rest of the city. It is an amazing panorama, both day and night.
The modern kitchen features the best in appliances – a Viking six-burner stove, a Thermador wine cooler with room for 55 bottles, and a Sub-Zero glass-front refrigerator which ensures that you will not leave any moldy leftovers in there.
The cozy library looks west over Tuscany-Canterbury and the spectacular sunsets we get year-round now.
As you move up to the second level, you will find two huge bedrooms, with en-suite bathrooms, and dressing rooms and extra large walk-in closets with ample room for all of your summer and winter clothes and shoes.
In addition to the stunning apartment, the Warrington also offers a 24-hour front desk for receiving all of your Amazon packages, a full-time, on-site manager, full-time maintenance staff, porters and valet parkers, plus a deeded parking space.
Where: The Warrington is on North Charles Street, just north of University Parkway and across the street from Guilford proper. It’s close to the Waverly Farmers’ Market, the shops and restaurants in Charles Village and to Johns Hopkins University and the Baltimore Museum of Art.
Final Appraisal: This apartment is one of the most unique listings in Baltimore. There is no other building that offers the elegance, the amenities, and the view that the Warrington has. The listing for the house is here.

Problem is you have to leave this classic Georgian home and walk on the city streets, where you’ll be mugged, robbed or worse. Who would live in downtown Baltimore?
