About This Home

As of April 2025

Incredible value in this spacious, 2000 plus square foot, updated Butchers Hill, Victorian Townhome. This property was previously listed at $443,800. That is a reduction in price of $54,800 from the previous offering. There will be no further negotiations as the price is well below market for a house in this neighborhood, of this size and quality. Chester St. unlike Pratt , Lombard and Baltimore Streets is not heavily traveled, as a result, angle parking at this location, allows for a greater number of on street parking spaces. This house is turnkey and the price provides lots of budget room for modifications, if desired. The location is within walking distance of The Johns Hopkins Medical Campus, Patterson Park , Fells Point and Canton. The Hopkins Shuttle is nearby. It is also convenient to several restaurants. Sellers are motivated as reflected in the price reduction. Please note! some of the pictures are staged virtually. THE OPEN HOUSE SCHEDULED FOR MARCH 9, IS NOW CANCELLED.
