    Gas fireplaceOriginal hardwood floorsWalk-in closetsHardwood floorsNewly laid tilePrepped for primary suiteWell-established perennials
    Walk into this nostalgic 1940's cottage home with all the new updates! Siding, shingles, (most) windows, plumbing, wiring, and more! Located close to Waldorf University, this quintessential 1 1/2 story home features hardwood floors, the classic lines, and mature trees. The front foyer welcomes guests into the formal living room with the original hardwood floors, newly refinished. A large bay window streams natural light. Step into the extra large U-shaped kitchen with space for an island and dining room table! Newly laid tile makes clean-ups easy! The family room adjoins the kitchen and features a gas fireplace, ceramic tile, patio doors, and adjacent block patio. The 2 main level bedrooms also feature original (newly refinished) hardwood flooring, and walk-in closets! Centered between the bedrooms is an updated full bath. The original hardwood stairs lead you to the prepped for primary suite upper level. Featuring a hardwood floor, taped/mud drywall, and plumbed attached bathroom. Make this the suite of your dreams and add some automatic equity! The oversized 2-stall garage is nicely tucked behind the house, facing the alley. Giving you extra parking and easy access! The lower level is unfinished, but clean and spacious. Would be a nice to finish! With well-established perennials trimming the exterior, this home is walk-in ready with room to expand!
