At $96 a square foot, this is 31% below the zip code's median sale price. In Baltimore, where 1,458 square feet of brick construction from 1932 with a detached garage is the kind of thing that moves fast at twice this number, that gap is worth paying attention to.
The house is a brick rowhouse built in 1932 and renovated in 2026. The exterior is original brick, which on a house this age means it has held up through ninety-plus years of Baltimore winters and is still standing straight. The renovation is recent enough that the major surfaces should be in decent shape, though the listing gives no specifics on what was actually updated, which systems were replaced, or what was left alone. That is a gap you want to close before you make an offer. Walk through and ask directly: mechanicals, roof, windows, plumbing. The renovation is described but not itemized.
Three bedrooms, one full bath, 1,458 square feet. That is a real amount of room for a family, or for two people who want to use the third bedroom as an office and still have space to breathe. The unfinished basement adds square footage you could finish out over time into whatever you need, a workroom, storage, a proper laundry setup, or something more livable if you want to put the money in.
The detached garage is worth naming separately because in Baltimore that is real value. Off-street parking plus covered storage in a city where both are scarce adds practical daily life utility that does not show up cleanly in the price per square foot.
The lot is small. If you want a yard, this will be a disappointment. The outdoor space is minimal, and the listing says as much without quite saying it.
What the price makes possible is a solid, old brick house with recent work done, a garage, and a basement to grow into, at a number that leaves room in the budget to finish things properly and still come in well below what comparable square footage is selling for in the same zip code.
