Welcome to the heart of Canton and an increasingly rare opportunity to own a multi-unit property in one of Baltimore City's most vibrant and historic communities. The story of 901 S.

Be sure to take a look at the historic cover photo showing the property during its days as a neighborhood delicatessen! Through decades of change and Canton's remarkable transformation, this corner property has truly stood the test of time.

While the delicatessen here is long gone, 901 S. East Avenue now offers two residential apartments and an abundance of possibilities for its next owner.
