Pride of ownership 901 S. East Ave A Piece of Canton History with So Many Possibilities!
Welcome to the heart of Canton & an increasingly rare opportunity to own a multi-unit property in one of Baltimore City's most vibrant and historic communities.
The story of 901 S. East Avenue begins long before today. The current owner has been in possession of the property since approximately 1974. Be sure to take a look at the historic cover photo showing the property during its days as a neighborhood delicatessen! Through decades of change and Canton's remarkable transformation, this corner property has truly stood the test of time.
Historically, many of Baltimore's corner properties served both residential & neighborhood commercial purposes-- R-8 Zoning/Non-conforming use
Main level may have housed a deli, confectionery, bakery, barber shop or other neighborhood business, while the owner lived—or rented space—upstairs. While the delicatessen here is long gone, 901 S. East Avenue now offers two residential apartments and an abundance of possibilities for its next owner.
Live in one unit while receiving rental income from the other. Add your own TLC and vision and make it your Canton home. Or maintain both units as income-producing rentals. A buyer may also wish to explore with Baltimore City whether future commercial or alternative uses are possible. Buyer is responsible for independently verifying zoning, permitted uses, licensing and any contemplated changes with Baltimore City.
The property is registered and has lead certifications, with one unit certified lead-free.
Situated prominently at East Avenue and Hudson Street, this substantial corner property is approximately 16 feet wide by 75 feet deep, offering the additional space historically associated with many Canton corner properties... approx 3312 total sq ft (living & basement)
