2702 North Calvert Street presents a fully occupied, four-unit apartment building in Charles Village with clear value-add and future owner-occupancy potential. The unit mix includes one two-bedroom apartment and three one-bedroom apartments. Functional, dated kitchens and bathrooms allow apartments to be improved as units turn, while current below-market rents provide additional opportunity through market-rent alignment. The property has five gas meters and five electric meters, with tenants paying their in-unit gas and electric usage. The landlord pays for heat, hot water and cold water. A one-car garage provides additional income potential. Located four blocks from Johns Hopkins University’s Homewood Campus, one block east of a JHU shuttle stop and three blocks from Wyman Park Dell. At the $465,000 asking price, an illustrative 80% LTV loan at 6.50% produces estimated monthly PITI of $3,031. If an owner occupied Apartment 1, projected rents of $3,550 from the remaining three apartments would exceed estimated PITI by $519 per month, before owner-paid utilities, maintenance and other expenses. *As us how!

“The best homes don’t just give you a place to live. They give you a place to belong.” And this Baltimore brownstone certainly feels like one of those homes. Tucked into the heart of sought-after Charles Village, this handsome six-bedroom, 2.5-bath home is a beautiful example of what happens when a home’s history is respected, its character is preserved, and it is thoughtfully adapted for today's living. From the sidewalk, the architecture immediately catches your eye. Brick and stone work. Distinctive tile rooflines. Bay windows. A welcoming front porch. And details that remind you this home was built in a different era... when craftsmanship wasn't something you selected from a catalog; it was simply how things were done. Step through the original wood front door and take a moment to look around. The details are everywhere. There’s the original letter slot, still built right into the door. Beautiful hardwood floors lead you through the main level, while rich wood trim, detailed molding, paneled doors, and millwork add the kind of depth and warmth that simply can’t be recreated with a modern renovation. A pocket door quietly disappears into the wall, a small but wonderful reminder of the thoughtfulness that went into homes of this era. And then there is the stained glass! Original stained-glass windows appear throughout the home, including beautiful panels in the dining room and interior doors, bringing color and personality to spaces throughout the house. These aren't decorative additions... they are pieces of the home's history that remain remarkably intact. The main level flows naturally from the spacious living room into the dining room, where original architectural details create an elegant backdrop for everything from Sunday dinners to holiday gatherings. The hardwood floors continue throughout, tying the spaces together and allowing the home's original craftsmanship to take center stage. The kitchen brings the home comfortably into today with plenty of cabinet and counter space, exposed brick, stainless steel appliances, and a center island. Main level laundry and a half bath are tucked behind the kitchen, adding to the home's modern conveniences. On the upper two levels, which can be accessed by TWO staircases, SIX bedrooms provide room to spread out, work from home, welcome guests, or simply have a little space of your own. The primary bedroom is particularly inviting, with a generous bay window overlooking the tree-lined neighborhood and beautiful hardwood floors. The baths thoughtfully blend classic details with modern function, including timeless tile, stained glass, and a beautifully finished walk-in shower. But what makes this home special isn't any one feature... It’s the way the pieces work together. The enclosed rear sunroom off one of the bedroom that offers a bright and flexible space for a home office, reading nook, morning coffee, or whatever your life needs it to be. The original doors. The glass. The molding. The woodwork. The floors. The tile. The bay windows. The little letter slot in the front door that has probably welcomed more mail.. and more stories...than we could ever know! Outside? The one car garage for off street parking. The basement? A blank slate full of possibility! And then there’s Charles Village... a neighborhood known for its colorful rowhomes, tree-lined streets, strong sense of community, and convenient access to neighborhood shops, restaurants, parks, Johns Hopkins, and so much of what makes Baltimore such a wonderful place to live. This is more than a 6-bedroom, 2.5-bath brownstone. It is a home with history, personality, and a whole lot of HEART! A home where the original details weren't erased in the name of “updating,” but instead remain part of its story. Quite simply, this is the kind of home that doesn’t just give you a place to live. It gives you a place to belong. Welcome to 2612 N Calvert St... welcome HOME!
