Property Description
Welcome to the heart of Canton and an increasingly rare opportunity to own a multi-unit property in one of Baltimore City's most vibrant and historic communities.
The story of 901 S. East Avenue begins long before today. The current owner has been in possession of the property since approximately 1974. Be sure to take a look at the historic cover photo showing the property during its days as a neighborhood delicatessen! Through decades of change and Canton's remarkable transformation, this corner property has truly stood the test of time.
Historically, many of Baltimore's corner properties served both residential & neighborhood commercial purposes-- R-8 Zoning/Non-conforming use
Main level may have housed a delicatessen, confectionery, bakery, barber shop or other neighborhood business, while the owner lived—or rented space—upstairs. While the delicatessen here is long gone, 901 S. East Avenue now offers two residential apartments and an abundance of possibilities for its next owner.
Live in one unit while receiving rental income from the other. Add your own TLC and vision and make it your Canton home. Or maintain both units as income-producing rentals. A buyer may also wish to explore with Baltimore City whether future commercial or alternative uses are possible. Buyer is responsible for independently verifying zoning, permitted uses, licensing and any contemplated changes with Baltimore City.
The property is registered and has lead certifications, with one unit certified lead-free.
Situated prominently at East Avenue and Hudson Street, this substantial corner property is approximately 16 feet wide by 75 feet deep, offering the additional space historically associated with many Canton corner properties... approx 3312 total sq ft (living & basement)
FIRST FLOOR UNIT: Enter from the corner into a generously sized living room, separated by counter space from the eat-in kitchen. The kitchen offers ample cabinetry, tile flooring and the existing trap door providing interior access to the basement. There is also exterior stair access to the basement. creating egress- The cellar, (as my dad calls it) is the basement providing valuable storage or potential for additional use depending upon the buyer's plans and applicable approvals.
Beyond the kitchen is a hallway with linen closet, full bathroom & a spacious bedroom w/ an ample cedar closet. In the rear is a large laundry/storage room and an additional half bath.
SECOND FLOOR UNIT: A separate side entrance opens into an spacious hallway & stairwell—making furniture moving much easier! Upstairs, the stairway opens into an impressive living room featuring exposed brick and a vaulted ceiling --wonderful character and volume.
A spacious kitchen sits just off the living area and includes its own utility/HVAC room, along with access to a small porch. Continue down the hallway to a generously sized bedroom tucked away from the main living space and a separate full bathroom. Plenty of windows and natural light add to the open, airy feeling of this apartment.
Rear space on the property offers even more possibilities. With existing plumbing from a former half bath, a future owner may wish to investigate potential uses ranging from additional functional space to possible parking, garage or business-related use, subject to Baltimore City approval. Bring your imagination and perform your own due diligence—the flexibility of this property is part of what makes it so intriguing & unique-
Separate gas/electric meters serve the units, w/ one shared water meter. Owner pays common area electric.
