This is a rare and compelling opportunity to acquire three individually deeded condominium units offered strictly as a package sale in one of Baltimore’s most beautiful and architecturally rich neighborhoods. The units will not be sold separately. The current owners acquired the entire building and have completed substantial renovations to two of the three residences, investing heavily in major building systems and capital improvements. The property is in excellent condition and reflects thoughtful stewardship throughout. The building can be delivered vacant or with the third floor tenant in place. You decide! With direct access to the garden courtyard and a two car garage, this residence allows for multiple long term strategies including living in one unit while renting the others, combining units for expanded living space, or restoring the property to a grand single family home. The upper units can be delivered vacant prior to closing if preferred by the buyer. Located in Bolton Hill, the property benefits from one of Baltimore’s most gracious residential settings, known for its historic architecture, broad tree lined boulevards, and proximity to cultural institutions, universities, and transit. The neighborhood offers a rare balance of elegance, community, and convenience. The sellers strongly prefer a cash transaction and intend to sell the property as is. This is not due to condition, as the building has seen significant investment and upgrades, but rather to ensure a clean and efficient sale. Financing may be challenging given the condominium structure and package sale format, and buyers should plan accordingly. Although this is an as-is sale, the sellers welcome an inspection by a buyer for their informational purposes only. Ask the listing agent for a detailed list of upgrades made to the property by the owner. This offering presents exceptional flexibility, scale, and long term value in a setting that continues to define the best of historic city living.
