Property description
SURPRISINGLY UPGRADED BANK FORECLOSURE – A RARE OPPORTUNITY! You'll be amazed by the condition and upgrades this bank-owned home has to offer! With just a little TLC and your personal finishing touches, this impressive Federal-style townhouse can once again shine like the showpiece it was designed to be. Offering over 2,100 finished square feet, this spacious home features 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and a fully finished basement. Rich architectural details—including exposed brick, custom built-in bookcases, and generous living spaces—blend seamlessly with modern updates throughout. The updated kitchen is ready for everyday living and entertaining with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a gas range. The flexible finished basement provides additional space for a recreation room, home office, gym, media room, or guest suite. The rear bedrooms on the second and third floors offer spectacular city skyline views. Imagine the possibilities of a future rooftop deck (buyer to verify feasibility and obtain all necessary approvals) where you can enjoy panoramic views and seasonal fireworks over the city. Outside, a private fenced backyard offers the perfect setting for relaxing or entertaining. Located in the revitalizing Johnston Square neighborhood, you're just minutes from Johns Hopkins, Downtown Baltimore, Penn Station, parks, restaurants, entertainment, and major commuter routes. This is not your typical foreclosure. The home already offers extensive upgrades and tremendous character. Property is being sold "As Is." A little cosmetic TLC will restore it to its full beauty while giving the next owner the opportunity to build instant equity. If you've been waiting for an exceptional value with outstanding potential, this is the one. Call with any questions and to schedule.
