Southwest Baltimore over here in Saint Joseph’s, and we’re talking a covered front porch, end of group home on a tidy street near the intersection of Hilton Street, Baltimore Street & Frederick Avenue. Say what you want, but if this place has one thing going for it, it’s convenient. Even Amtrak is just a short walk down the street. And there's pride of ownership in these parts. A classic Baltimore home featuring a formal foyer, hardwood floors, and old world grand sized rooms that could tell quite a story I’m sure. Act two is you taking this place and bringing it back to its former glory and creating your own stories between these walls. For a row home this place actually has a ton of room and there’s even an old-school bar in the basement. Buyer to determine if ground rent exists, seller will not redeem.
