I would consider the detached houses in the 2600 block of St Paul Street to fit your second definition of townhouse even though they are brick.
On another note, a pet peeve is the use of the term single family home in place of detached. I mean we’re the only family living in this row house.

Reply to Another word for Row House? by dddddddssss
Historically Baltimore has not used the suburban term "Town Home" or "Town House" for their row houses. This is because Town home was reserved for the rich who maintained a country home and a city home. The recent use of town house was a term coined by the real estate market to give the public the idea that their now "attached houses" were not city houses. Another use of the term "town home" or "City house" is for a narrow two story frame house that fit on a deep, narrow lot.
Semidetached is what Baltimore calls their "duplex" houses. These are a great alternative to the row house, as it gives windows on all the rooms in the house. Yet Baltimore builders did not built them in the same numbers as the row house.

• Amtrak prices vary on ALL of their platforms. You can find web prices, kiosk prices and app prices to be different from calling in directly. • Late nite trains are typically the cheapest in an emergency • Get those Amtrak points. If you’re really making this regular, those points do add up
that’s all i can think of for now. Hopefully this is new material.

Reply to Electrical Panel Upgrade Inspection by Avid-Traveler
It’s a little tricky In the city and trades inspectors are currently very overworked. I can’t say if whoever did your work pulled a permit but it’s not unheard of in the city for an inspector to just ask for pictures, especially if the inspector recognizes the name that applied for the permit.

A lot of people that flip houses aim for 20%, it’s hard to keep it at that, but that’s usually the aim.

A brownstone can be a rowhome, but a rowhome isn’t a brownstone.

There are definitely rowhomes in NYC and Boston.

No. A brownstone is made with brownstone. Brown stones can be rowhomes, but rowhomes aren’t brownstones

Lol, this! I grew up in Baltimore City, and lived in a row house. Got married and moved to Woodlawn, Baltimore County. There we rented a house, connected to homes on both sides- it was called a townhouse.
It took me a long time to get townhouse in my mind!

Painted Ladies of Charles Village
I grabbed a random link with a decent description
Also specific to Baltimore, rowhomes throughout certain neighborhoods had their window screens hand painted by local artists.

Brownstones in NYC are not the same as Bmore rowhomes. Brownstones are more like what you see around Mid-Town/Mt. Vernon. Up in NY/Boston rowhomes as we know them down here don’t really exist.

I made a great pot of gumbo this weekend. I’m a Houstonian transplant and miss Cajun food so badly. The Wegmans in Columbia had king cakes too

In the UK, they are "terraced houses". Never use Row House, or Home.
I live in a 4 storey one!
