The Oven apartment is the third of three in The Bakery. The other two are The Baker's Quarters (VRBO #172604) and The Artist Loft (permanently occupied). Most of buildings along the main streets, such as Fleet, consists of two to three stories in which the first floor was where retail or other business occurred. The upper floors were where the proprietor lived. This is exactly the same arrangement you have at The Bakery after nearly 100 years except that art replaces baked goods as the product. Guests at The Bakery within a day begin to get the feel of the street, how it opens up and how it closes down. With the focus on art, surprised by the vibrant art community in Fells Point and other adjacent neighborhoods, guests at The Bakery have a reason to explore a list of art venues, known to the locals, that otherwise might not be explored. This is The Fells Point Experience.
But this is just the beginning. The Bakery has a set of three of the most unusual apartments in all of Fells Point. There is The Baker's Quarters (VRBO #172604) with its Vertical Kitchen @TM, The Artist Loft (permanently occupied) and now The Oven apartment, named such because the focal point of the approximately 900 sq. ft. apartment is the brick face of the old huge oven which is all that remains of the bakery. The edgy and stage design interiors along with all original art, white burber carpet and unusual lighting provide a sensual experience. The twenty one feet of wardrobe cabinets go largely unnoticed. The use of a glass counter in the kitchen (believed to be the first in America) enhances the other black granite counters. The Bakery is a mini version of The O Street Mansion, the details of which are given to guests for their information and hopefully future exploration.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 1979
retired executive, have lived in the Wash. DC-Baltimore area for fifty two years. renovated individual properties as a side line. Born and raised in Sioux City Iowa. Graduated from Univ. of Iowa- Iowa City 1957 Followed two older sisters who came to Wash DC. in 1941 and 1943 for the war effort. Graduated from Georgetown Law Center in 1962 and started my own communications law practice representing AM and FM stations or applicants. Expanded practice to include telephone, paging and cellular companies. Began investing in Baltimore real estate in 1979. I like the contrast between Washington and Baltimore. Baltimore has a large industrial and manufacturing base, a large port, a highly skilled work force, ethnic neighborhoods (Italian, Greek, Polish, etc.), has managed to save most of its important historic neighborhoods and its downtown commercial and residential buildings are not limited in height.
Why the Owner Chose Baltimore
Chose a unique property (The Bakery) in Fells Point thirty years ago when it was a sleepy but funky place steep in history. Close to the Inner Harbor yet distant enough to keep its own identity, Fells Point is very comfortable in its surroundings mostly small brick townhouses with cobblestone streets with a smattering of very large old ware houses (which now have been turned into condos and hotels) hugging its own harbor and industrial plants such as the old can factory .
The Unique Benefits of this Apartment
I have been unable to access and use the calendar. Essentially, the current guest uses the apt. Monday through Thursday evenings and expects to stay until January 1, 2010. Weekends (Fri.-Sun. nite) might be available. Inquiries are welcomed.
