Welcome to 800 S. Ann. Built at the turn of the century by Edward Ignatius Novak (see his initials in the front step), this building served the community as a grocery store/deli on the first floor and living quarters for the family on the upper levels. You can still see the old advertisements on the side of the building! A survivor of the road fight, the building was bought in the 80's and renovated into 2 apts. The current owner put a door in between the apartments and uses the whole building as a home. Could easily be converted back into 2 Apts or an au pair or MIL suite.
The first floor has 12' ceilings, a large living room with big, old storefront windows. The spacious eat in kitchen has plenty of counter space, a center island with Jenn Air cooktop, wall oven, fridge with icemaker and disposal. The beautiful dining room has French Doors with roll back screen doors that lead out to a lovely brick patio. Great for entertaining! A small entry way and 1/2 bath finish off the first floor.
The second floor has 3 bedrooms, 1 Retro Bath and an office/library nook. There is a small, wrought iron balcony off the Western bedroom.
The 3rd floor is currently used as the master suite with 1-bedroom, huge Retro bath with soaking tub, large dressing area with a ton of closet space (can be used as a living room) and kitchen area, currently used as a workout and laundry area. There is a separate entrance to this floor from the patio.
The roof is flat and has a water view. A roof top deck would make a great addition!
There is a full basement with washer/dryer and lots of storage. Two systems offer either gas or electric heat. The house is fully airconditioned. This house has great bones and is just waiting for you to put your stamp on it!
This location is everything! Rarely available corner lot is located in the Historic District, one block from the water. Close knit community with many long-term neighbors. Current owner has lived in the house for 27 years. Many restaurants, cafes, coffee shops, retail shops, yoga, Pilates, gyms and theatres located within a minutes' walk. Whole Foods and Harbor East Movie Theater are 10 minutes away. Walk, bike or run along the promenade that stretches from Canton to Federal Hill. This is downtown living at its finest!
