About 302 W Lafayette Ave

Architectural Masterpiece by Hugh Newell Jacobsen in the Heart of Historic Bolton Hill Welcome to 302 W Lafayette Avenue, an exceptional townhome in the coveted Bolton Hill neighborhood, designed by internationally renowned architect Hugh Newell Jacobsen—celebrated for his iconic work on the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis residence on Martha’s Vineyard, the American Embassy in Paris, and the extraordinary expansion of the U.S. Capitol complex. This rare architectural gem provides 2,394 square feet of finished living space and features four bedrooms and three and a half baths, seamlessly blending clean-lined modernism with timeless sophistication. A private brick courtyard—complete with a tranquil koi pool, flowering trees, and direct access to the community greenspace—offers a serene outdoor retreat within the city. The entry level welcomes you with a bedroom suite and full bath, a dedicated laundry area, and a stunning catwalk that overlooks the dramatic main living space. The living room, crowned by soaring two-story atrium windows, is bathed in natural light and anchored by custom built-in bookshelves and a wood-burning fireplace—a perfect setting for both quiet evenings and sophisticated entertaining. Expansive wall space invites the display of a curated art collection. Upstairs, the primary bedroom is filled with natural light, accompanied by two additional bedrooms and a full bath. A finished attic level provides a quiet escape, ideal as a den, home gym, or creative studio, with ample storage tucked seamlessly into the design. Recent updates include new HVAC system in 2023, ductless system in attic in 2024, and new roof in 2021. Truly one of Bolton Hill’s most remarkable homes, 302 W Lafayette is a rare opportunity to live in a work of art by one of America’s most celebrated architects, all within minutes of cultural landmarks, private schools, and the vibrancy of downtown Baltimore.
