Urban Discoveries Baltimore

Everyone knows it’s a buyer’s market, but when a seller knocks $50,000 off a moderately priced house, bargain hunters sit up and take notice. We found three homes whose prices dropped $50,000 within the past two or three months. Two are under 900 square feet and gorgeous. The third is bigger and, while more basic, has one absolutely breathtaking feature.

Locust Point
1423 Beason Street, 21230

Look around in this fully restored 1892 row house, and you’ll find a lot to see: 3 bedrooms, wood floors, built-in bookcases, stainless steel kitchen appliances, whirlpool jets in the bathroom, and on and on. It’s 871 square feet but feels more spacious because of the 9 to 10 foot ceilings and — ta da — a private rooftop deck from which to enjoy the city.

Original listing in mid-March: $349,900. Now: $299,900. Reduction: $50,000.

Federal Hill
1211 Light Street, Unit T-1, 21230

Another dazzling renovation in an old (1900) building, which now has an elevator. It’s an 859 square foot condo with built-ins throughout and wall-to-wall carpeting. And guess what? The very nice furniture conveys.

Original listing: $339,000, dropped to $324,900 at the end of March. Now: $274,900. Reduction: $50,000.

South Baltimore
1402 Woodall Street, 21230

If you’re willing to put glamour aside in favor of a roomy (1,158 square feet) row house, with wood floors and a finished basement, a 2-car garage — you know, the basics — this place has a wonderful surprise. The roof deck affords spectacular views of the city and the harbor.

Listed in mid-March: $349,900. Now: $299,900. Reduction: $50,000.
