About the property

Partially Renovated 3‑Story Townhouse in Harlem Park

1027 Brantley Avenue is a three‑story, brick rowhouse in Baltimore’s Harlem Park built in 1900. The property sits on a 980‑sqft lot with approximately 14 feet of frontage on Brantley Avenue. Documented improvements show the house is partially renovated and framed to accommodate three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, one half bath, and a third‑floor loft—conditions that make it a hands‑on opportunity for investors or contractors comfortable completing renovations on an older structure.

Interior and structural notes describe a property in poor condition with an unfinished basement, forced‑air heating, a working fireplace, and no central cooling. The improvement record specifically lists framing completed for the bedrooms, baths and loft; gross building area is not provided. Key due diligence items flagged in the research include verifying the structural integrity of a 1900‑era building, confirming the extent of the existing renovation work, and checking whether permits were obtained for the completed framing and any mechanical upgrades.

The property is recorded as vacant and owned by a company (likely an LLC), with on‑street parking only. Zoning is R‑8 (Rowhouse Residential District), which permits single‑ and multi‑family residential use among other community uses in Baltimore. Public utilities are municipal water and sewer, and electric and gas service are supplied by Baltimore Gas & Electric. The most recent assessed total value is listed at $13,000 (assessment year 2025), and sale history includes purchases in 2008 and 2010; a sales‑comparison valuation estimates a current market range between $50,000 and $70,000.

Location context favors transit and city amenities: Harlem Park Elementary/Middle School is about 0.2 miles away, Upton Metro Station 0.5 miles, Lexington Market roughly 1.2 miles, and Druid Hill Park approximately 1.5 miles. Market data in the area describe a buyer’s market with moderate inventory (about 3.5 months), average days on market near 60, and measured appreciation in recent years. Comparable lease activity on the block shows 3‑bed rentals achieving roughly $1,150–$1,200 per month in 2025, and the property’s rental estimate is documented at $1,200 monthly with a reported gross rental yield figure in the research. Given the property’s vacancy, partially completed renovations, and location in a neighborhood undergoing revitalization, next steps should include a licensed inspection, permit review, and a detailed renovation budget before finalizing acquisition plans.
