1827 Westphal Place

This home captures exactly what makes Riverside such a special place to live. Tucked along a quiet, one-way street, this thoughtfully renovated home blends classic Baltimore charm with bright, beautifully finished interiors and the kind of neighborhood energy that makes SoBo so special. The traditional brick facade is dressed up with custom wooden window boxes overflowing with seasonal flowers, while a charming crab door knocker offers a quintessentially Baltimore welcome. Inside, beautiful hardwood floors flow throughout the living and dining rooms, leading into a bright kitchen with stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, and abundant cabinetry. Out back, the private parking pad can easily double as an outdoor entertaining space. This is one of those special Riverside streets where the alley feels like an extension of your backyard, with neighbors gathering outside and creating the welcoming, close-knit atmosphere that makes this neighborhood so beloved. Upstairs are two bedrooms, including a spacious primary bedroom at the front of the home with a custom closet system. The rear bedroom opens directly onto a private balcony, while a full hallway bathroom and conveniently located laundry closet complete the level. Downstairs, the finished lower level offers a third bedroom and an additional full bathroom with a tub, creating the perfect space for overnight guests, a home office, or a cozy retreat. Beyond the beautiful finishes, the home has been thoughtfully maintained and improved. Recent updates include roof and HVAC tune-ups in 2026, freshly painted exterior wood trim, custom wooden window boxes, a new primary bedroom closet system, fresh paint throughout all bedrooms, and more. A Vector security system, valued at approximately $1,000, was also installed and includes a doorbell camera, rear floodlight camera, motion sensor, and window and door sensors. The system may convey if the buyer assumes the monitoring contract. And then theres the location. Just two blocks away, newly renovated Riverside Park feels practically like an extension of your backyard, with new basketball and pickleball courts, a regulation-sized softball diamond, multipurpose fields, and plenty of green space. Neighborhood favorites like Hershs and Ekiben are close by, along with Rash Field and the waterfront. The home is also near the coveted Thomas Jefferson Elementary/Middle School and beloved community traditions like Second Sundays, when neighbors gather for live music, local vendors, food, and family-friendly fun, as well as the annual I Love SoBo Day celebration. With quick access to I-95, a private parking pad, and permitted street parking, getting around and coming home could not be easier. Baltimore charm, thoughtful updates, wonderful neighbors, and some of the best of Baltimore right outside your door. This is SoBo living at its best.
