28 E 25th St, Baltimore, MD 21218

Zoned C-1, this oversized Charles Village mixed-use rowhome offers a rare opportunity to live, work, or invest in one of Baltimore’s most dynamic corridors. With approximately 3,135 square feet of above-grade space plus finished basement area, the property includes two residential apartments and two commercial suites, allowing a future owner to tailor the layout to their needs. Whether envisioning an owner-occupied residence with on-site workspace or a blend of residential and commercial income, the flexibility is built in. Located along 25th Street’s “Black Wall Street” corridor, the property sits within a vibrant, walkable hub of Black-owned businesses, neighborhood retail, and community-driven commercial activity. The second- and third-floor apartments are oversized one-bedroom units with generous room dimensions and large north- and south-facing windows, including a southern-facing bay window that provides additional natural light. Original hardwood floors remain throughout most living areas. Kitchens feature wood cabinetry, laminate counters and flooring, and either a 30-inch electric or gas range. Bathrooms have modern vanities and cast-iron tubs with ceramic tile surrounds. A future owner may elect to update kitchens and baths to support higher rents. The apartments are heated by a central Repco 275,00 BTU hot water radiator heating system; radiant heating serves the terrace store. The landlord pays for the gas heat; a savvy owner could pass this through to tenants, improving cash flow. The 1st floor commercial tenant has their own heat pump with central air. A central 40-gallon gas-fired water heater supplies hot water to all units. Each unit has its own electric meter and pays their own electric. Two gas meters serve the property, one public service and the other presumed for Apartment 2. All interior water supply pipes are copper or C-PVC, with a copper water main. All observable interior water drain lines are copper or steel. The landlord currently pays for water. A TPO membrane roof was installed in 2016. The 25th Street corridor in Charles Village has long been known as “Black Wall Street,” a historic center of Black-owned businesses and commercial activity in Baltimore City. Today, the corridor supports a mix of retail, service, and professional users, benefiting from steady pedestrian traffic and strong neighborhood visibility. Residential tenants enjoy close proximity to restaurants, art venues, and daily conveniences. Johns Hopkins University’s Homewood Campus—Baltimore City’s largest employment hub—is five blocks north, supporting consistent residential demand. The central location offers convenient access to downtown Baltimore and I-83, with the Maryland Avenue CycleTrack located one block away for bike commuters. 28 East 25th Street carries a Walk Score of 97, a Transit Score of 80, and a Bike Score of 85. The commercial suites are built out to support prior and current uses. The first-floor suite, now vacant, was previously configured for medical training with classrooms, training stations, a private rear office, and a modern half bath, offering flexibility for office, medical, educational, or service-oriented users. The lower-level terrace retail suite has received recent improvements, including drywall walls and ceilings, recessed lighting, LVP flooring, and an upgraded half bath. The rear portion of the terrace suite houses utilities and provides additional storage space.
