Located deep in the heart of “Oak Forest” Serene park-like setting Loads of charm Plenty of major upgrades and SO very close to Patapsco State Park…It just doesn't get any better than this! With its spacious, open floor plan and up-to-date decor, this home is sure to please. The 1st floor offers a generously sized Living Room with a wood-burning fireplace and a private Home Office. The Kitchen has been updated with butcher-block countertops, white cabinets, and updated stainless appliances that include a Viking 4-burner gas range with a griddle/grill feature. There's a nice sized space for sitting or dining off the Kitchen, but you'll no doubt want to take full advantage of the 20' x 14' 3-season Family Room, relaxing and dining with gorgeous views, a wood-burning stove, ceiling fans, exposed brick wall, and access to the deck! Note: the addition of thermo-pane windows, extra insulation and heat could make this a 4 season FR. There's a remodeled full Bath on this level and 2 nicely sized Bedrooms that are privately located down a hallway from the main living area. Upstairs, the owners have added hardwoods and expanded the living space with a lovely sitting area, large enough for a sofa and chair. It's outfitted with a bank of windows and built-in shelving, and would also be well suited for a Home Office. There are 2 spacious upper-level Bedrooms. The Primary Bedroom has a large bank of closets, oversized windows, and a gorgeous, wooded view. The 2nd Bedroom is adorable, with a sleeping alcove and fun color scheme. The hall Bath has been remodeled, and like the 1st-floor Bathroom, it's been finished with wainscoting. There's loads of accessible storage space in the eaves on the upper level, something everyone can appreciate! The lower level includes a 14' x 21' Family Room with cork flooring, recessed lighting, and several storage closets. There's also a large Exercise Room, a half Bath, Laundry Room w/HE washer & dryer, and Utility Room with storage space. Recent system improvements include an oil to natural gas conversion, installation of a high-efficiency Lennox gas furnace and CAC/heat pump (zoned for efficiency), a 62-gallon hot water heater, and a full French drain system with water-powered backup. Two other nice improvements the roof has been replaced and there are energy-efficient replacement windows. Stepping outside, and you will definitely want to : ) , the yard is a nature lover's delight! It's fully fenced and the backyard is private and beautiful! There's a 12' x 20' Trex deck overlooking gardens, that are filled with flowering shrubs and perennials, brick walkways, a fire pit area, and playground equipment that will be included. So! Much! Fun! There's also a 9' x 12' garden/lawn shed, a 20' x 12' Workshop, and a bike shed, perfect for all your tools and “toys!” It's hard to imagine wanting to leave this private oasis, but should a walk or bike ride appeal, the neighborhood is absolutely beautiful and access to community open space and Patapsco State Park are both just a few houses away. Enjoy locally owned shops & restaurants, Farmers' markets, 4th of July festivities, free music venues, green space, the annual Arts & Crafts Festival, convenient access to commuter routes and public transportation…Don't miss out on this wonderful opportunity to make Catonsville your favorite place you ever lived!
