About the Listing EXXP11 - 108464,3029230
Prominently positioned along Light Street in the heart of Federal Hill, 1401 Light St represents a rare opportunity to acquire a historic, well-located commercial asset with flexible zoning and strong long-term usability. Originally constructed as one of the first branches of the Enoch Pratt Free Library in Baltimore, the property carries architectural significance and a level of prominence that is increasingly difficult to replicate in today’s market. Zoned OR-1 (Office Residential), the building supports a wide range of professional and institutional uses, including professional offices or headquarters, medical or wellness services, residential care facilities (ALF), child or adult day care, and live/work configurations. The structure also offers the potential for residential or mixed-use conversion, subject to zoning approval. The building features a functional layout with high ceilings, substantial natural light, and solid construction, including the possibility of adding a second floor within the existing structure to increase the usable square footage. Its scale and character provide a strong foundation for a user seeking both presence and practicality. Please see the attached rendering photos for examples of various use-case options. The location benefits from consistent foot traffic, immediate access to downtown Baltimore, and proximity to dense residential and retail amenities. Federal Hill remains one of the city’s most stable and desirable submarkets, supporting both business operations and long-term value retention. This is a straightforward opportunity for an investor, developer, or owner-user seeking an adaptable building with historical character and enduring utility.
