Exceptional mixed-use/multifamily opportunity in the heart of Baltimore’s historic Mount Vernon district. 523 N Charles St offers approximately 8,975 total square feet, including approximately 2,200 SF of below-grade space, providing incredible flexibility for retail, office, multifamily, live/work, creative, or redevelopment use. Positioned along one of Baltimore’s most recognizable commercial corridors, the property features strong street presence, large windows, high ceilings, multiple levels, and classic architectural character. The expansive layout offers endless possibilities for an investor, owner-user, or developer looking to reposition a landmark property in a high-visibility location. Surrounded by restaurants, nightlife, universities, cultural institutions, and major downtown employers, the property is conveniently located near Penn Station, MICA, the University of Baltimore, the Washington Monument, and downtown Baltimore. The current owners purchased the property in January 2026 for their intended business use, but ultimately determined the property was not the right fit for their operational needs, creating an excellent opportunity for the next owner to bring their vision to life. Property is being sold strictly as-is.

Incredible house-hacking / 3-unit investment opportunity WITH 2 READY-TO-RENT GARAGES in the heart of Baltimore’s coveted Charles Village neighborhood. Current annual rental income for units 1 and 2 combined is $34,500. If unit 3 (currently and intentionally vacant for a potential owner-occupant) were to be leased for $1,600 per month, and each garage (also currently available) were leased for $150 per month, total annual income would be $57,300. This statuesque end-of-group residence boasts three separately-metered, spacious units – each flaunting abundant natural light, wood flooring, updated kitchens with modern cabinetry, in-unit laundry, and air conditioning. UNIT 1 encompasses the entire main level, is 1 bedroom, 1 full bathroom, has window units, and is rented for $1,325 per month. The lease is to 8/31/2026. UNIT 2 encompasses the entire second level, is 3 bedrooms, 1 full bathroom, has mini-splits for heating and cooling, and is rented for $1,550 per month. The lease is to 4/30/2027. UNIT 3 is the penthouse apartment and yours to occupy or lease! It encompasses the entire third level, is 3 bedrooms, 1 full bathroom, has window units, and a cozy covered rear deck, and unlike the other two units, it is only accessible via the rear staircase, offering privacy. If you decide to lease this unit, recent rental comps support a $1,600 monthly rent. (See 2724 Saint Paul St #3rd Floor which was only 2 bedrooms/1 bathroom and rented for $1,600 on 8/16/2025. See also 2732 Maryland Ave #2 which was only 2 bedrooms/1 bathroom and rented for $1,600 on 10/1/2025.) The two rear garages are currently unrented and can be yours to utilize in tandem with your penthouse apartment, as storage for maintenance needs, or can each be rented for an estimated $150 per month. With written leases, rent paid up on the occupied units, lead certificates, and a 3-unit rental license (good though 5/8/2028) in hand, this gem delivers turnkey peace of mind. Residents are responsible for their own BGE accounts. The landlord pays the water bill. Recent improvements include : New heating system for units 1 and 3, new refrigerators for all units, and fresh wood stain, new light fixtures, and new paint for unit 3 (2023). New window units for units 1 and 3, new mini splits for heating and cooling for unit 2, and new LVP flooring, bathroom vanity, and paint throughout unit 2 (2021). There is a Special Benefits Tax in this neighborhood. The current cost for the year for this property is $392.87. The Special Benefits Tax is a surcharge which covers additional safety and sanitization efforts to benefit the residents of the area. With its close proximity to the prestigious Johns Hopkins University (.5 miles), Medstar Union Memorial Hospital (.4 miles), Baltimore Museum of Art (.5 miles), downtown Baltimore (3 miles), and countless coffee shops and restaurants, the area is booming with students and professionals alike, making living here and lease-up a breeze!

1215 John Street is an extremely well-laid-out two-unit property in Bolton Hill, offering a three-bedroom, two-bath upper apartment and a one-bedroom, one-bath first-floor apartment. The upper unit spans two levels with defined living and dining spaces, a kitchen with granite countertops and wood shaker cabinetry, and a front-facing reading nook overlooking John Street. The first-floor apartment features similar kitchen finishes with exposed brick adding character to the living space. Both units include vinyl plank flooring throughout the living areas and kitchens. Each apartment is separately metered for gas and electric and served by its own HVAC system. Laundry is located in the basement with one washer and dryer set allocated to each unit and tied to the tenant’s electric meter. Recent 2018 improvements include updated electric service, roof, and interior finishes (2018), along with newer water heaters (2025 & 2026). Positioned on a quiet, non-through street in the southeast corner of Bolton Hill, the property offers a Walk Score of 92 and a Transit Score of 95, with easy access to Penn Station, Light Rail, Metro, and the JHU Shuttle. For an owner-occupant, the numbers are compelling. With 20% down, the estimated monthly PITI is approximately $3,473. Rental income from the first-floor apartment at $2,395/month reduces the net housing cost to roughly $1,078/month for the three-bedroom, two-bath upper unit. With low-down payment financing (3.5% down), the estimated monthly payment including PMI is approximately $3,064, with rental income reducing the net cost to about $669/month—well below typical market rents for comparable space in Bolton Hill. The property also meets FHA self-sufficiency requirements, further expanding financing options for owner-occupants. Buyers are encouraged to call for a detailed discussion of financing scenarios and how to best structure the purchase. Opportunities like this—offering space, location, and income potential—are rarely available in Bolton Hill.
