    What's special

    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. Unit 1 (two bedroom) is rented for $1,700 per month. The lease expires March 31, 2027. Unit 2 (three bedroom, two bathroom) is rented for $2,799 per month. The lease expires August 6, 2027. 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. 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.
