309 Oak Forest Ave Catonsville, MD 21228

Welcome to a beautiful home in Catonsville's sought-after neighborhood, Oak Forest, located in the Hillcrest school district. This charming property, complete with a 2-car garage & above ceiling storage--an uncommon feature in Catonsville's older classic homes--has great curb appeal & sits on a quiet street. It has so many features you will love. Let's start with the main level where there is an amazing large, light-filled family room with 2 sets of French doors leading to the landscaped yard, patio, and freshly mulched gardens. This room includes a gas fireplace, plenty of room for a dining table, lots of living space & 2 endearing window seats. It is connected to the spacious kitchen with beautiful cherry cabinets, granite counters, an island with seating, stainless steel appliances, including a wine fridg, and regular refrigerator installed in 2020. The other side of the family room leads to a good-sized living room with French door windows and gleaming hardwood floors. There is a wood-burning fireplace here (that will be sold as-is since it has not been recently used, but definitely has potential). There is also a lovely dining room with attractive French door windows on this level, right around the corner from a large full bath and laundry area. If the dining room is not needed, it could be turned into a 4th bedroom to comfortably age-in-place since everything you need here is on one level. There is even a built-in office area beyond the foyer with 2 connected granite desks and tons of drawers and cabinets. It's located across from the kitchen—a great place to keep an eye on the kids during homework time. Upstairs consists of 3 spacious bedrooms, a full bath in the hall, and a full primary bath complete with a soaking tub, shower, charming vanity and extra closet space. One of the bedrooms has a lovely built-in dresser. The finished basement consists of a great area for a playroom, game room, craft area, or gym. There is built-in storage right in this room. It even has a full-sized bath with a classic claw foot tub. The unfinished part contains 2 large pantries, & 2 utility rooms with tons of movable shelving that conveys. A home generator for the kitchen and sunroom, sump pump, downstairs refrigerator, furnace, and central air, should the power go out during a storm, is a great bonus in this home. The hardwood floors were just refinished throughout the entire home and look absolutely amazing. Much of the home has also been freshly painted. This home was constructed by Catonsville resident, Frederick Reitze, architect & builder, who built many classic homes in Catonsville as lots were being sold many years ago. Special & unique homes like this have created the popularity Catonsville has today. The seller even has framed the original blueprints for the new owner. Come take a look--there's no reason not to! Walk or bike up to the famous 4th of July parade, restaurants, shops, farmer's market, concerts & parks. Life is Great in 21228! OPEN HOUSE: Sat, March 16, 3-4:30 pm. PLEASE NOTE: the square footage of the home is incorrect in the public record. The kitchen and family room were added later so the total above ground space is approximately 2,567 square feet.
