Two Luxury Residences in a Historic Baltimore Church for $3,300

A mid-19th-century landmark in Baltimore has been repurposed into high-end living spaces, according to a report from Baltimore Fishbowl.

The former St. Mary’s Episcopal Church, located at 3900 Roland Ave, has undergone a transformation into two luxury three-bedroom, two-bath residences. Each unit provides approximately 1,200 square feet of living space characterized by original architectural details and modern amenities.

“We’re a small, privately owned team, and we built these residences ourselves, so every detail matters to us,” Jesse Vann, owner of Vann Development, told Baltimore Fishbowl.

“Turning a place that held generations of Baltimore families into homes for a new generation is something we take seriously, and we think residents will feel that the moment they walk in,” Vann added.

The conversion prioritizes the building’s 1850s origins, utilizing the structure’s soaring heights and historic features as the foundation for the new layout. A prominent stained glass window serves as a centerpiece above the kitchen, projecting colored light throughout the open living areas.

The interior design incorporates vaulted ceilings with exposed timber trusses to maintain the scale of the original ecclesiastical space. To maximize the utility of the high ceilings, each residence includes a private mezzanine. This secondary level is designed to function as a flexible area for a home office, a reading nook, or a lounge.

While the aesthetic leans heavily into the historic, the functional components are contemporary. The residences feature:

White shaker cabinetry and quartz countertops
Handsome tile backsplashes
New high-efficiency appliances aimed at reducing energy costs
Warm designer lighting and open-concept floor plans

The new residences are priced at $3,300 per month. This monthly rate includes water and trash removal services.

Unlike many large-scale rental developments, this project is managed by the same small, privately owned team that handled the construction. Vann Development intends for this to provide a personal leasing experience for residents.
