Charm and modern comfort come together in this updated and well-maintained bungalow in the heart of the Old Catonsville neighborhood. Offering 4 bedrooms, 2 fully renovated bathrooms, tons of storage space, and 2,533 above-grade square feet, this home pairs classic character with significant recent updates, including a new roof (2026), remodeled bathrooms (2026), a mini-split A/C unit in the family room (2026), replacement windows (2019), fresh interior paint, and composite decking on both the front and back porches. The large covered front porch with an awning offers plenty of seating space and sets a welcoming tone from the moment you arrive. Inside, the large, bright living room showcases wood floors with custom inlays, recessed lighting, and a decorative fireplace. The spacious dining room follows with bamboo flooring and updated lighting, creating an easy setting for everyday meals and gatherings. Two large main-level bedrooms feature wood floors, ample closet storage in the large closets, and recessed lighting. A fully renovated wet-room bathroom offers a zero-entry shower with dual shower heads, a separate jetted tub, custom tile, and a stylish vanity. The renovated kitchen blends function and style with quartz counters, custom white cabinets, a tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, oak flooring, recessed lighting, and a convenient instant hot water dispenser, making it just as suited to a quick weekday breakfast as to a holiday dinner. Just beyond, the roomy family room features oak floors, recessed lighting, a large storage closet, and direct access to the back porch and yard, making indoor-outdoor living simple. Upstairs are two more large bedrooms, including one with a massive walk-in closet. A third room provides flexible space for an office, craft room, or hangout area. The second fully renovated bathroom features a zero-entry shower with dual shower heads, a built-in bench, custom tile, and niches. The unfinished lower level is ready to be customized to suit your needs, whether you picture a recreation room, gym, workshop, or extra storage. Throughout the home, you'll find tons of closet storage. Outside, the landscaped yard, detached garage/shed for storage (as-is condition), and driveway with space for multiple cars add everyday convenience. The location is hard to beat, with the shops and restaurants along Frederick Road a short walk, bike ride, or drive away, plus easy access to local schools, the library, and places of worship. Baltimore-area attractions and Ellicott City businesses are just a short drive away, and nearby I-695 and I-95 make commuting a breeze. Verify school information on the Baltimore County Public Schools website.
