The Main Level — Open, Bright & Made for Living
Step inside and be immediately welcomed by soaring 8-foot ceilings and an open-concept layout with a beautiful front-to-back view through the living room, dining room, and kitchen. Brand-new LVP flooring, LED recessed lighting, trendy light fixtures, and a tranquil zen-like neutral color palette come together to create a space that just feels like home the moment you walk in. Tall windows drench the main level in natural light, and the living room offers ample space for a generous wall-mounted TV — perfect for movie nights in! The back yard features a new 10 x 20 deck that spans the length of the home [perfect for entertaining, relaxing, or soaking up those warm Maryland evenings] AND the back yard is fenced in. Recent millings were put down for ample turn-around space in part of back yard.
The Coffee Bar — Yes, Really
If you're a coffee lover, you are going to lose your mind over this! Your very own private coffee bar features a granite wall-mounted counter, designer lighting, and a built-in electronics charging station. Sip your morning coffee here in your own little sanctuary — or take it outside to that new back deck.
The Kitchen
A true showstopper — white soft-close wood cabinetry, granite countertops, new stainless steel refrigerator, gas stove, and under-cabinet lighting you simply have to see in person. This kitchen was designed to impress!
The Bedrooms & Baths
Two generously sized bedrooms on the main level — including a front bedroom with a charming window seat, perfect for reading or people watching, plus two closets! The main level full bath features a tub/shower combo with ceramic tile surround, trendy finishes, and ample shelving, with a new stackable washer/dryer tucked neatly away. Upstairs, the third bedroom offers its own private en-suite with a walk-in shower and stylish ceramic tile surround — ideal as a primary retreat or guest suite.
