Live in Federal Hill / South Baltimore for less than rent!
1137 Battery Avenue is a lead-free 2-unit property offering a rare house-hack opportunity: occupy the first-floor 1BR + den apartment and rent the larger 3BR/2BA apartment above. Current rents total approximately $3,400/month, with the upper 3BR/2BA apartment projected at $2,400/month. With 80% financing, projected rent from the upper apartment could reduce your estimated monthly housing cost to approximately $611 toward PITI. With 96.5% first-time buyer financing, the projected net holding cost is approximately $664/month after applying $2,400 in rent from the upper unit. Call us for details.
Apartment 1 spans the entire first floor with good natural light, hardwood/carpet flooring, basement laundry access, and a full bath. Apartment 2 is the feature unit, offering 15 windows, a multi-level layout, exposed brick, textured ceilings, in-unit laundry, and a loft-style bedroom with en-suite bath. Tenants pay their own gas/electric; no public service gas/electric account for the owner to manage. Lead-free status eliminates recurring lead inspection costs and turnover headaches.
All of this is wrapped in one of Baltimore’s strongest rental locations, with quick access to Federal Hill, Riverside Park, Cross Street Market, Locust Point, downtown Baltimore, the stadiums, restaurants, bars, retail, and major commuter routes. For an owner-occupant or investor, 1137 Battery Avenue combines current income, future upside, and the neighborhood demand that keeps South Baltimore rentals moving.
