Property Description

A warm, creative home filled with natural light, thoughtful details, and preserved character. In the morning, the first light fills the front room with a soft, warm glow. Throughout the day, natural light moves through the many windows, keeping the home bright and inviting. The living room is anchored by a rare to find wood-burning stove. Built-ins throughout out the main floor add character and useful storage, complemented by stylish new light fixtures. Just beyond the living room is a dining nook, updated kitchen, and bright sunroom - perfect for reading, plants, or simply enjoying a little extra sunlight. A brand-new half bath with new plumbing completes the main level. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a fully renovated bath. The basement offers flexible space for storage, projects, hobbies, or a workspace. The private, spacious backyard has received just as much care as the interior. The sellers have filled it with a thoughtful mix of native plants, mature edibles, flowers, and pollinator-friendly spaces. A mature fig tree, blueberries, raised vegetable beds, hostas, ferns, hellebore, lilacs, witch hazel, roses, milkweed, and much more create a garden that changes throughout the seasons. In spring, the yard bursts with purple, pink, and white blooms and the most wonderful floral scents, with new plants and flowers continuing to bloom throughout the summer. The large deck and porch offer plenty of room to enjoy it all. The sellers especially love starting their mornings on the porch with coffee and freshly picked figs, saying hello to neighbors as the street wakes up. Recent improvements include half bath, back roof, siding, paint, radiators, some windows, flooring, washing machine, plumbing updates + much more. Set on a quiet street with easy highway access, the home is close to Harford Road’s shops and restaurants, Double Rock Park, Herring Run Park, and more. *Note: this is an old house in the best sense, thoughtfully cared for and updated, but still has quirks, character, and occasional oddities that come with a home of its age. The owners have made considered improvements without trying to make it something it isn’t. The next owner must appreciate older homes and understand they may want to make their own updates.
