These two units share a gas-fired water heater, and the landlord currently pays for the gas that fuels it.

The roof is a 5-year-old 90# mineral felt system, providing reliable protection and minimal near-term maintenance needs.

The college also draws international educators and administrative professionals, further boosting rental demand. Bolton Hill is a quiet, tree-lined neighborhood in West Baltimore, celebrated for its historic architecture and central location. Access to I-83, Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, and multiple Light Rail stops makes commuting to downtown, Midtown, and points north or south seamless. With more than 73% of neighborhood residents renting, this well-maintained, fully leased triplex is a strong long-term hold in a stable, appreciating submarket. Just a block and a half from the $100 million Reservoir Square redevelopment, 1705 Bolton stands to benefit from the retail, amenities, and foot traffic the project will bring - including a major grocery store. Already in high demand, Bolton Hill is poised to become even more desirable for renters seeking charm, convenience, and walkability. Read Less
