About This Home

This brick front colonial sits on a quiet, tree lined stretch of Kemp Mill, just a short walk from the Sligo Creek Trail. It's the kind of house where the kitchen actually gets used, the fireplace actually gets lit, and Sunday afternoons in the fall have somewhere to happen. The main level opens up from a bright, updated kitchen with stone backsplash and stainless appliances, through a dining area, into a living room built around a wood burning fireplace. Hardwood floors run throughout, and a dutch door off the kitchen leads straight out back, so grilling and hosting never feel separate from the kitchen itself. With football season coming, the layout does the work for you: living room for the game, kitchen close enough to keep the food moving, and a finished basement rec room downstairs that's ready for overflow seating on a big Sunday. Upstairs, the primary suite is sized to actually relax in, with its own full ensuite bath. Three more bedrooms share a second full bath down the hall, so everyone gets their own space without competing for the sink. The finished basement adds a fifth and sixth bedroom option, a full bath, and a utility room on top of that rec room, flexible enough for a home office, a gym, or a guest setup depending on what the year calls for. Out back, a fully fenced yard backs to mature trees for privacy, with a storage shed for anything that doesn't need to live in the garage and plenty of lawn left for a grill or a fire pit.
