Property Description

Offer Deadline, Monday 10/19 @12pm. Open House Sunday, 10/18 12-1:30pm. Imagine owning a beautiful Baltimore home with virtually no monthly electric bill! Welcome to 2905 Cresmont Avenue, a beautifully maintained, solar-powered, all-electric brick townhouse in the heart of Remington. With no natural gas service and a $0 monthly solar lease through Civic Works, this remarkable home offers the potential for significant energy savings. The seller reports that the BGE account typically carries a credit rather than a balance due, with estimated savings of $250 to $300 per month compared with conventional utility costs. Solar maintenance is included, with no lease assumption fee or income restrictions according to the buyer. Lovingly owned and thoughtfully improved by the same owner for 29 years, this charming three-bedroom Baltimore rowhouse blends historic character with modern convenience. East and west exposures bathe the home in beautiful natural light, while gorgeous oak hardwood floors, replacement windows, and welcoming living spaces create warmth throughout. Enjoy spectacular sunsets from the covered front porch, the perfect spot for a glass of wine and conversations with longtime neighbors. The updated kitchen features an induction range, opens to the dining area, and provides direct access to the expansive rear deck, creating effortless indoor and outdoor entertaining. A beautifully renovated main-level laundry room adds everyday convenience. Upstairs, three bedrooms provide flexibility for guests, a home office, or creative studio, with an attached porch offering a peaceful retreat. The updated full bathroom complements the home's charm. The spacious unfinished basement offers tremendous potential for future expansion, a workshop, hobbies, or storage. Already equipped with a toilet and rough-in for a full bathroom, the lower level also features convenient rear access, ideal for bicycles, gardening equipment, and projects. Outside, discover a true urban gardener's paradise! Decades of loving care have created front and rear gardens with seasonal blooms, established perennials, raised planting beds, a productive sour cherry tree, and a young magnolia. The large rear deck is ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining, while a fenced backyard and private off-street parking pad provide wonderful everyday conveniences. The list of improvements is impressive! In 2025, the roof was completely torn off to the plywood sheathing and replaced, and the house was converted to all-electric operation with an induction range, electric backup heat, and heat-pump water heater. Solar panels and a new washing machine followed in 2026, along with a new parking pad and fence. Other updates include a new deck and complete laundry room renovation in 2023, front stair railing in 2024, updated kitchen, refinished hardwood floors and recessed lighting in 2011, and bathroom renovation, replacement windows, and locking screen doors in 2008. The water line was replaced approximately 10 years ago, and ground rent has been redeemed. LOCATION, LOCATION! Perfectly situated at the crossroads of Remington, Hampden, Charles Village, and Old Goucher, this home puts some of Baltimore's best restaurants, cafes, independent shops, and cultural destinations within easy reach. Walk to RHouse, Doppio Pasticceria, Pink Flamingo, La Maison by Café Dear Leon, Paper Moon Diner, Greedy Reads, and Remington Bottle Shop. Explore nearby Hampden, Johns Hopkins University's Homewood Campus, the Baltimore Museum of Art, and Stony Run Park. Neighborhood bike lanes, convenient I-83 access, and Baltimore Penn Station with MARC service to Washington, DC, and Amtrak connections to Philadelphia and New York City make commuting a breeze. Exceptional energy efficiency, 29 years of thoughtful stewardship, beautiful gardens, private parking, and an unbeatable location surrounded by four of Baltimore's most vibrant neighborhoods.
