Baltimore, MD

What recession? Who says that real estate is down?

What recession? Who says that real estate is down? Penthouse condos in Baltimore are hot!

Ritz-Carlton Residences Baltimore

Ritz-Carlton Residences, Inner Harbor, Baltimore, MD

Yesterday the penthouse condominium at the Ritz-Carlton Residences on the Inner Harbor in Baltimore, MD was sold. Well, actually it was three penthouses joined together making a 4 bedroom, 6.5 baths, six balconies, and 12,000 sq. ft.

And it sold for a mere $12.6 million. It has views of the Inner Harbor, the Chesapeake Bay, and the Camden Yards sports complex, home to the Baltimore Orioles. And who bought it? None other than Baltimore native and mega-novelist Tom Clancy.

Clancy mastered the techno-thriller genre beginning with his first novel, The Hunt for Red October in 1984, and his empire has expanded to include video and board games in addition to his many best selling novels. He lives on the Eastern Shore of Maryland and will keep that home, but this heart of Baltimore mansion-in-the-sky places him close to the Orioles where he can keep an eye on part-ownership investment. He has also invested in his home town by funding professorships in pediatric oncology and ophthalmology at Johns Hopkins University.

Now if you want to live in a luxury penthouse condo in downtown Baltimore, and you want great views, and you want sleek and modern, and you want it new, you could be the first to live in this unit.

Then you would be just across the harbor from Tom Clancy. But you'd better hurry before we raise the price!

Yes, you could stand on your balcony at 1400 Lancaster Street and wave to Clancy on his balcony, and for a whole lot less money.

No,Unit 1003 does not have 12,000 sq. ft., but it can be bought for $12,000,000 (you counted right – six zeroes) less, and you can still have a top floor in this contemporary condo.

That's what I call a bargain! Purchased a few years ago for $¾ of million, you can have it all for a cool $½ million. Take a look…and then... give me a call 410-530-2400.

Everywhere you turn, a great view. Slate floors, granite counters, stainless appliances.

Looking out from the kitchen, and looking in to the kitchen - beautiful in any direction.

Thanks to Mr. Clancy, penthouse condos in Baltimore are hot!

Back to the "ride out the recession" entertainment posts!

Brendan Cooke: Real Estate Agent in Baltimore, MD

Several months ago, I started posting local "things to do" on a budget. Highlighting free events, or at least very affordable ones. I must say, with a toddler, it's been hard to even find the time to get out and take advantage of all of the wonderful, cost effective things to do in Baltimore City....but here we go! Back to business.

WARNING...this post contains a little bit of shameless self promotion, but it is in an effort to open some eyes to a cultural gem in Little Italy, so I'll forgive myself!

Tomorrow evening, my Concert Opera company will be performing a fundraiser at the fabulous GERMANOS TRATTORIA in Baltimore's Little Italy. For $10, and a $15 food/bev minimum, you get to hear two amazing sets of operatic music, performed by our board of directors, and incredible guest artists.

Please make reservations at www.germanostrattoria.com, and be sure to tell them that you are coming for the Baltimore Concert Opera Company!
