MAKING A HOMEOWNER’S DREAM A REALITY
A couple relocating to Baltimore wanted to convert a large, vacant shell with great views of the city skyline into a luxury rowhome with lots of amenities. They worked closely with New City on many details to design the dream house they always wanted. The clients needed to ensure on-time completion, because their old house was already under contract, and the clock was ticking on their relocation.
New City developed a plan for the property that included four finished levels, a roof deck, a rear patio and off-street parking for two vehicles. The homeowners requested a gourmet kitchen with an island, a third-floor master suite, a built-in entertainment center in the finished basement and several fireplaces throughout the home. Working all of these features into a property just twelve feet wide was a challenge, but New City delivered.
When the property was completed – right on schedule – the clients were delighted. Their new home not only included all of the features that they desired, but also the finishes and other selections that reflected their personal taste. They were able to move into the property on the weekend they had targeted. With this project, Baltimore City gained both two new residents and a redeveloped home where a vacant shell once stood.
