Property Description
Vintage vibes and curbside charm in this 1914 Foursquare, with its wide covered porch, unmatched 0.68-acre lot, and picturesque fully-fenced yard. Set well back from the road, this home offers a versatile layout with space and flexibility on every level. Step into the warm and welcoming foyer to find high ceilings, newly refinished hardwoods, and wide original trim that reflect the home's Victorian character. The broad living room flows into the airy dining room through pocket doors, and a true bay window adds architectural interest and natural light. The kitchen is both spacious and stylish, with ceramic tile flooring, butcher block counters, glass tile backsplash, and stainless appliances. A fourth bedroom is tucked off the living room, and a full bath with a copper bowl sink, and convenient laundry room complete the main level. Upstairs, you'll find three well-sized bedrooms and a full bath with ceramic tile flooring and a freestanding copper tub - equal parts modern and memorable. Hardwood floors and wide trim continue throughout, along with a walk-in linen closet off the hall. A full walk-up attic offers nearly 800 square feet of floored storage - easily accessible and well-suited for future finishing. The lower level offers a full unfinished basement with inside and outside access - ideal for storage, hobbies, or workspace. Heating, cooking, and hot water have all been converted to natural gas for added efficiency. Outside, the yard offers an impressive amount of space, with a picture-perfect shade tree in the lush front lawn, a wide side yard, and a practical rear yard where the deck overlooks a kitchen garden and a gingerbread-style shed. The entire yard is fully fenced for peace of mind. Conveniently located near UMBC, CCBC, and downtown Arbutus, home to locally owned shops, restaurants, and community events. Patapsco State Park and major commuter routes are also nearby, with quick access to MARC, 695, 95, and 295 for an easy commute in every direction. Well cared for throughout,from the cheerful siding outside to delightful details within - this home is unmistakably one of a kind.
