Discover the potential in Historic Ridgley's Delight, just steps from the professional schools of University of Maryland, Camden Yards and M&T Bank Stadium. This ideally priced renovation opportunity is situated on a desirable block where much of the heavy lifting has already been completed, including gutting, framing, plumbing with full bathroom installed and more. One bedroom, one bath residence is ideal for a first time home buyer or savvy investor seeking strong rental potential from the steady demand of University affiliates and downtown professionals. Conveniently located near the MARC train, with walkability, energy and historic charm throughout this vibrant community filled with young professionals and ongoing revitalization. The next owner will have to address the current stop work order violation that exists against the property.
