2203 Southern Ave Baltimore, MD 21214

Listing details for 2203 Southern Ave, Baltimore, MD 21214 : BACK ON MARKET — BUYER FINANCING FELL THROUGH. THIS IS THE ONE — OFFSET UP TO 1/2 YOUR MORTGAGE PAYMENT. 2203 Southern Avenue stands in a class of its own, offering a level of renovation quality, flexibility, and built-in financial advantage rarely found in today’s market. Unlike typical renovated homes in the area, this residence provides two thoughtfully designed living areas under one roof—ideal for multigenerational living, extended family, or private guest accommodations. While the home is not legally zoned as two separate units, the lower level is fully equipped and designed to function as an independent living space, creating exceptional flexibility and potential income to help offset up to half of a monthly mortgage. Set on a spacious, level, fully fenced lot in the heart of Morgan Park/Lauraville, the property is an easy walk to Morgan State University and minutes from major hospital campuses, downtown Baltimore, the Beltway, Whitemarsh, and Aberdeen Proving Ground—placing it squarely in the path of consistent, long-term rental demand. A complete top-to-bottom renovation includes high-efficiency triple-pane windows and a new Energy Star–rated HVAC system, delivering comfort, performance, and energy savings rarely found in competing properties. The main residence lives like a high-end single-family home, featuring rich walnut flooring, recessed lighting, a formal dining room, and a beautifully appointed chef’s kitchen with custom solid-wood cabinetry, marble tilework, and all-new Samsung stainless steel appliances, including a full-size refrigerator. Just off the main living area is a first-floor laundry room with a full-size Energy Star front-loading Samsung washer and dryer, providing everyday convenience rarely seen in comparable homes. What truly separates this property from every other option available is the fully self-contained lower level. With its private side entrance, bedroom, full bath, second kitchen with refrigerator, and a dedicated laundry area featuring a stacked full-size washer and dryer, the space functions as a genuine private living area—not an afterthought. It is perfectly suited for multigenerational living, an au pair or in-law suite, or extended guest quarters with the potential to generate supplemental income. (Seller will install an interior security door between the first floor and lower level with a ratified contract.) Upstairs, three generously sized bedrooms and a stylish full bath provide comfortable private living. Outside, intentional landscaping, a new flagstone patio, and a fully fenced backyard create a quiet retreat rarely found within city limits.
