About This Home

As of March 2020

OPEN HOUSE CANCELED. HOME UNDER CONTRACT.. Ranch homes like this are hard to come by nowadays. When you pull up to the home you will see that its design is exquisite with the brick and stone construction. It's a place that you want to call home. The owner tells me that the original owner was a builder and that s why the construction of the home is top notch, unique and has many custom details. Words cannot begin to describe how excited you will be over this rare find! You will love that not only will you have your own oversized 2 car garage, but you have an expansive circular driveway for easy entry and exit to Laurel Brook Road. Plus you have plenty of room for all of your friends, family and/or visitors to park! And wait till you see the grounds! The yard with a pond and stream is truly a magical wonderland and takes you away from all the worries of the world. When you enter the home you will immediately see the beautiful fireplace which is the focal point of the living room. Imagine feeling at peace glancing out your beautiful side by side casement windows watching the birds fly around & sing while sitting by a cozy fire. The living room adjoins the updated kitchen & separate dining area, which is ideal for those that enjoy entertaining. The kitchen was updated with beautiful granite countertops, tall cabinets, a beautiful backsplash, casement windows, a gorgeous tile floor, range hood & stainless - steel appliances. Wow! Other updates and features include not one but two fireplaces (one has a propane hook up), beautiful hardware floors, partially updated bathrooms, arched doorways, updated lighting fixtures, many rooms have been freshly painted, and the owner boasts of fresh spring water in the well just to name a few things. The house is very spacious and provides storage, but it s not too big for those looking to downsize. The Lower level has a kitchenette, family room with wood burning fireplace, full bathroom, bedroom and rear exit door. Older kids may want to claim it as their own or you could potentially rent it out or make it an in-law suite or just leave as is and enjoy it as a wonderful recreation room or for when folks come to visit. The attached 2 car garage is huge & attached to the home via a really large breezeway. The breezeway can be used for coat and shoe storage or what a great place to sit and relax and watch nature or maybe you can set it up as a paint studio or even an office area. The options are endless. And the lot itself is oversized, scenic and has an overall lovely, private setting. There is a two-tiered Trex Deck that the owners added so they could drink their coffee and enjoy their nature show of numerous animals and birds that come to visit. Such a private escape. You will truly love walking around this perfect yard and enjoying the landscaped setting backing to wooded land. You will probably think you are on vacation all year round! And wait till you see the Azaleas in bloom. Owner says it s a sight to see! The rear deck also a great space for outdoor entertaining and grilling. This is a home will be proud to invite everyone you know over to! And why is it that people flock to Fallston? Well, there are ENDLESS reasons really. Many says it s the award-winning Harford County School System, the rural setting of the area featuring many farms and parks and other say it s because we love living in the country yet not be a far commute to Baltimore City, Delaware or Hunt Valley, near Bel Air, Abingdon, APG, restaurants, shops, wineries and minutes to I95 Fallston is truly a highly requested location. Even the Baltimore Sun has called Fallston a hot neighborhood in Maryland! Every time I drive over this way, I love the beautiful foliage of the roadway. The home is right down the road from the Gunpowder State Park as well, making the area a nature lover's dream and your next dream! And best of all - NO HOA! Yay!
