Property Description
Set on a one-acre lot backing directly to Liberty Reservoir, this 1929 Cape Cod in Eldersburg offers a lot of space and a quiet setting at an approachable price. The home keeps its original character, with some key updates but remains ready for your touches, making it a solid opportunity for a buyer who wants to put their own stamp on a place. A covered front porch leads into the main level, which has a living room, a small office area, a full kitchen, a full bath, and two bedrooms. Upstairs there is a third bedroom and a large bonus room. The unfinished basement offers room to expand and finish down the line. Outside, a detached two-car garage adds storage and workspace - it comes with a woodstove, TV, and desk that convey. A paved driveway serves the home, and the large yard leaves plenty of room for gardening, outdoor projects, or just enjoying the reservoir frontage. With its acre lot, waterfront setting, and price, this is a chance to get into a sought-after area and make the home your own over time.
