Nestled just a few blocks from the vibrant energy of Thames Street and Baltimore’s scenic waterfront, 521 South Wolfe Street blends classic charm with contemporary convenience. This is more than just real estate - it’s a rare opportunity to own a multi-unit property in one of the city’s most iconic neighborhoods.
Inside, you’ll find three distinct apartments, each with its own personality and practical perks. Every unit is separately metered and outfitted with individual heating, cooling, in unit laundry and hot water systems, giving tenants privacy and autonomy — a win-win for renters and investors alike.
Step inside the units:
Apartment one spans three levels, offering two bedrooms and one bath, including a lofted bedroom space that adds character and dimension. The updated kitchen brings a modern edge, with granite countertops, shaker cabinetry, and sleek stainless steel appliances — ideal for tenants who appreciate style and function.
Apartments Two and Three are both comfortable one-bedrooms. They offer practical kitchens with wood cabinets and laminate countertops, electric ranges, and dishwashers for everyday ease.
Outdoor living space is a standout: Apartment Two has a cozy wood deck, while Apartment Three enjoys a private concrete patio — perfect for morning coffee or evening unwind time.
In-unit laundry, a must-have in today’s rental market, is available in all three apartments.
