Set back off of Charles Street Avenue, over a small private bridge on a lush half acre lot, this custom-built, mid-century modern home has clean lines, amazing light and maximizes space across 1,736 finished square feet. As you enter, a stunning wood staircase leads to a beautiful open living, dining and kitchen area, all of which overlook the tree-lined property which includes two streams. Off of the rear of the home is a newly refinished deck that overlooks the rear fenced lot. Between the living room and kitchen is a working, double-sided wood fireplace that brings the ambiance to the entire upper level. Three good size bedrooms and two full baths complete the upper level. The primary bedroom is a serene space with windows on 2 sides, and the bathroom is ensuite. On the lower level, there is an additional finished living space that opens to a covered patio, a powder room, and a laundry and utility room. This area also provides direct access to the two-car attached garage. Everything within the home honors the mid-century modern construction, but has been nicely updated to keep with the times. The home is in West Towson and just below Allegheny Avenue and thus a quick walk to the Orokawa Y, play fields and playground, downtown Towson ,Whole Foods, Towson University and Loyola Blakefield.
