About the property

3-Bed Cape Cod with Expansion Potential in Anneslie

741 Overbrook Road is a compact Cape Cod built in 1928, offering three bedrooms and one bathroom across approximately 920 square feet on a 0.11-acre (4,792 sq ft) lot in the Anneslie neighborhood. The property sits on a level parcel with standard frontage on Overbrook Road and includes an attached single-car garage and driveway access. Assessor records and market research identify wood-frame construction, an asphalt shingle roof, and central air conditioning with forced-air gas heating.

The home is single-story and described in public records as having an unfinished basement, which presents a straightforward path for adding finished living area or storage. Condition is listed as average; the property has been owner-occupied since the 2019 purchase and the tax record shows an assessed total value of $203,500 for 2025. Recorded sale history includes a 2019 arm’s-length purchase for $135,000.

Local market context is supportive of renovation-driven value: three nearby comparable sales within 0.5 miles were used in the sales-comparison analysis, producing an estimated value range of $250,000–$275,000 and a midpoint estimate of $262,500 ($285/sq ft). Market indicators in Anneslie show limited inventory (about 2.5 months), an average days-on-market near 30, and appreciation of roughly 5% over the past year and 25% over five years. The property lies within walking distance of highly-rated public schools and is 1.2–1.5 miles from major retail and institutional anchors such as Towson University and Towson Town Center.

Documented opportunity notes highlight the property as a potential renovation target and investment opportunity given its scale, location, and unfinished basement. Key due-diligence items are flagged in the audit: confirm lot dimensions and boundaries, verify renovation permits, perform a professional home inspection, and assess roof condition. Public sources also indicate the property has been offered for sale by owner as of June 2026; interested parties should rely on primary records and on-site inspections to confirm current listing and condition before making decisions. Recommended renovation strategies in the research include modernizing interior systems and finishing the basement to add functional square footage and resale appeal.
