I’ll Take This… Apothecary Shop

Funnily, my friend David from London sent me the link to a listing to of a house in Baltimore. And of course, when I opened the link, I knew exactly why he’d sent it!Because he knew I’d LOVE this old unit! (Although I am not quite sure about the three (!) chandeliers.)

The house stands on a corner just a few blocks from a huge park. It used to be an apothecary shop and the current owners retained many of the old fixtures, including the shelving and drawers, the tin ceiling and the mirrored counter.

While it looks like they’ve kept the original storefront windows, they’ve blocked two of the windows on the side, which I would open back up. I would have the best time filling the shelves with books, and the drawers with shoes!

The house still retains many other original features, like the old wood staircase, and even the wood floors, although the main floors don’t look original.

But in other parts of the house, none of the original features are left.

The kitchen and the bathrooms have been updated though.

I love these old doors, but I can’t quite figure out where they are in the house.

There’s a small back garden, which could be really terrific. Right now, there’s some sort of stone arrangement, and it looks like there’s a water feature inside the sun room.

The listing agent was kind enough to include an article about the house, but the images of it are too small to read, and search as I might, I couldn’t find a copy of it on-line. Perhaps he’d be kind enough to send a PDF of it to me.

The house is listed for $490,000.  The listing is here.
