102 Melvin Ave Catonsville, MD 21228

Catonsville has always been a great place to live and here is your chance to own a classic Catonsville four-level home in one of its most desirable locations. This lovely home was built in the early part of the 20th century when homes were built to last by master craftspeople. The front of this picturesque home has a traditional porch to enjoy the warm evenings as people did a hundred years ago. Just inside you'll be greeted by the warm detailing of beautifully exposed woodwork that you'll find throughout the house. An open double sided gas fireplace adds warmth to the classic front parlor which connects to a comfortable and bright living room illuminated by three large south-facing windows. The other side of the fireplace opens to an inviting formal dining area. The updated kitchen has a gas stove and beautiful countertops and cabinetry that fits with the style of the home. Off the rear of the kitchen is a wonderful dining nook which is perfect for coffee or casual meals. This space has French doors that open to a fantastic outdoor space behind the home. A rear porch steps down to a great patio overlooking the deep, level rear yard. There is even a quiet side nook under the shade of the trees and house that is perfect for an above ground fire pit. Back inside the house, a main floor powder room adds convenience. Up one floor you'll find two bedrooms each with individual private full bathrooms. The comfortable, rear-facing, owner's suite has a great window seat that is great for relaxing with a book and has cedar-lined storage just below. The owner's suite also has a fantastic walk-in closet. The attached updated bathroom has a stylish glass-doored shower, dual vanity sink and a separate water closet. This floor also features a dedicated laundry room with counter and cabinet space. The top floor of the home has two more bedrooms and another full bathroom! Don't need four bedrooms? This versatile top level could also be great office or study space. The lower level is a great spot for a home theater, gaming room or workout space. It also has a small workshop and great storage space. Other great details of this home include: dual zone A/C, newer Anderson windows, a continuous hot water heater, a transfer switch for a generator, and a large concrete driveway. People have always loved living in Catonsville with its famous 4th of July Parade and tightly-knit community and over the past decade it has become even better with great new dining and shopping locations. You can take the sidewalk from this historic neighborhood right downtown for morning coffee or for dinner at one of the great restaurants.
