This 3 story, end of group Hampden investment property has 2 apartments and 1 office space on the terrace level. Hampden is artsy, lively, walkable, historic, kid-friendly and commuter friendly and is one of Baltimore’s hottest neighborhoods. This property cash flows as-is, but rents are low and kitchens and baths are older – providing the opportunity to make improvements and increase rents accordingly.
Tenants enjoy the ample sunlight that these east-facing end-of-group apartments offer, with fourteen above-grade windows. Sturdy finishes to the apartments make turnover a breeze. The first floor apartment kitchen has an original metal sink base with porcelain sink and a 30″ gas range, and the bathroom has original claw foot tub and wall-mounted sink. The second floor apartment has an updated kitchen with Formica countertops and a stainless steel sink; this bathroom features a modern vanity and steel tub with vinyl tub surround. Kitchens and baths have vinyl tile flooring. The living areas have hardwood floors. Each apartment has a private porch off the rear.
Downstairs, in the office, glass block windows allow sunlight to filter through. This basement office has a suspended grid ceiling for easy utility maintenance to the apartments above. A half bathroom is provided for workers and guests.
These apartments are separately metered for electric; public service utilities for both gas and electric are tied into the commercial basement meters. Both residential tenants reimburse the landlord for 1/3 each of the water & sewer bill for the property. Radiator heat throughout the building is supplied by a Columbia gas-fired boiler. One gas-fired GE water heater provides hot water to the units.
Long-term tenants provide a stable cash flow; but a savvy investor could make improvements to significantly increase rents and better the cash flow for this building. In a hot market like Hampden, well done renovations attract top-tier renters! See “Renovation Budget” in the docs for details.
Hampden has a WalkScore of 88 and BikeScore of 85. With a CrimeGrade of “A” it is one of Baltimore’s lowest-crime neighborhoods. Wyman Park is located to the east and Druid Hill Park located to the west. Tenants can easily access I-83, making Hampden an attractive location for commuters to both downtown Baltimore and points further north. Just a quick 250 foot walk get tenants fresh baked goods at Harmony Bakery, one of Hampden’s newer and popular restaurants.
