About This Home

Beautifully renovated and truly move-in ready, this 1,666 square foot, three-bedroom (plus bonus room as an ideal 4th bedroom), interior brick home is ideally situated in the sought-after Gwynn Oak area. Built in 1954, the home offers the enduring quality of mid-century construction paired with thoughtful, recently completed modern updates, giving you both character and confidence in its lasting value. A covered front porch welcomes you into a bright, open main level enhanced by wood-inspired luxury vinyl plank flooring. The sun-filled living room flows seamlessly through a graceful arched entry into the dining area, where chair railing and a stylish new ceiling fixture add a polished touch as part of the updated lighting package. The space opens to a beautifully appointed kitchen featuring stainless steel appliances, including a gas range, gleaming quartz countertops, and a center island that provides additional prep space and casual seating area. From the kitchen, step out to the deck overlooking a fenced rear yard with ample green space, perfect for gardening, entertaining, or simply relaxing outdoors. Upstairs, the peaceful sleeping quarters offer hardwood flooring throughout, a ceiling fan in the primary bedroom, and two additional well-sized bedrooms. The fully renovated bath showcases custom tile work, a new vanity, and on-trend matte black fixtures. The finished lower level expands your living space with a comfortable recreation room featuring new plush carpeting, a versatile bonus room ideal as a fourth bedroom or office, and an updated full bath with a walk-in shower. A convenient walkout leads to the patio, creating an ideal setting for outdoor dining or weekend projects. Additional updates include a newer water heater and furnace. With its extensive improvements, solid construction, and convenient access to Towson and I-695, this home delivers comfort, style, and everyday practicality in one appealing package.
