Nestled on a tree-lined street, this brick colonial blends timeless charm with thoughtful updates. A classic brick walkway welcomes you inside, leading to a bright foyer flanked by formal living and dining rooms. The living room exudes warmth with a wood-burning fireplace framed by rich brick accents, while the dining room, with elegant chair railing, flows seamlessly into the well-appointed kitchen. Here, sleek appliances, including a Bosch dishwasher and a Jenn-Air range, complement the durable flooring, making meal preparation a pleasure. Beyond the kitchen, the inviting family room offers a comfortable space to unwind, featuring a sliding glass door that opens to a covered deck—ideal for entertaining or quiet mornings with coffee. A nearby laundry room, equipped with a recently replaced washer and dryer, adds convenience, along with a half bath. Further still, an attached greenhouse with a built-in sink provides a dream space for plant lovers. Upstairs, the primary suite is a true retreat, offering a private deck overlooking the lush backyard, a walk-in closet, and a stunning modern en-suite bath. Thoughtfully renovated, the bathroom boasts a sleek tiled shower with a rain shower head, a floating vanity, and towel warmers for added luxury. Four additional bedrooms share an updated full bath, while a walk-up attic offers abundant storage and a whole-house fan for added ventilation. The partially finished lower level expands the living space with a recreation room complete with a projector and screen—perfect for movie nights. A separate utility room is ideal for a workshop or extra storage. The oversized, extended one-car garage provides even more flexibility, with space for a work area and an attic storage area illuminated by a skylight. Outside, the private, fenced backyard is a serene escape with a dedicated play area and raised garden beds, all framed by mature landscaping. The home’s practical updates include a recently replaced furnace and roof for added peace of mind. Located in the Calvert Hills neighborhood just 2 blocks to (the Riverdale Park Station development) Denizen's, Burton's, Whole Foods, Le Fantome. Close to Trader Joe's & UMD. Enjoy all that the Calvert Hills neighborhood offers including annual events organized by the Calvert Hills Citizen's Association like the Ice Cream Social, Halloween Parade and Kickball and BBQ. A home where classic elegance meets modern comfort—don’t miss this incredible opportunity!
