***PRICE IMPROVEMENT*** If you’re looking for a home where the big updates have already been taken care of, 816 Providence Rd deserves a closer look. This 3-bedroom, 2-full-bath home offers convenient one-level living, a generous backyard, and a long list of recent improvements—all at an attractive price point in Towson. A complete kitchen renovation in 2024 gives the home a fresh centerpiece, complemented by custom built-ins and a bar-top area added in 2023. Beyond the finishes, the owners have continued to invest in the property with a new refrigerator, washer and dryer in 2024 and a new boiler water pump in 2025. The improvements extend outside as well. The back deck was updated in 2023, the sidewalks were redone in 2022, and the retaining wall was completed in 2021. Together, these upgrades represent years of thoughtful investment that the next owner gets to enjoy from day one. Step outside and you’ll find a spacious backyard with plenty of possibilities—entertaining, gardening, pets, play, or simply having room to enjoy the outdoors. A storage shed adds practical space for lawn equipment, tools, and seasonal items. Set directly across from Cromwell Valley Elementary School and convenient to shopping, dining, recreation, and commuter routes, the location makes everyday life easy. With a renovated kitchen, numerous recent improvements, two full baths, one-level living, and a large outdoor space, 816 Providence Rd offers a combination of features and value that can be difficult to find at this price point in Towson.
