About This Home
As of June 2025Nestled in the desirable Southland Hills neighborhood of Towson, this enchanting three bedroom, two bathroom home beautifully blends historic charm with modern upgrades. Built in 1904, it has been thoughtfully updated throughout while preserving the timeless character that gives it warmth and appeal. Natural light pours through windows in every room, offering serene views of the surrounding greenery and mature landscaping. Inside, Pine floors and a neutral color palette create a bright, airy ambiance. The spacious living room invites you to unwind, featuring built-in shelving that frame a cozy wood-burning fireplace. Completely renovated, the kitchen was designed with both style and function in mind, boasting stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, a tile backsplash, and 42” soft-close cabinets enhanced with undercabinet lighting. Just off the kitchen, the breakfast room is made for casual meals and features a vaulted wood-paneled ceiling and brick flooring, with direct access to the backyard. Entertain with ease in the elegant dining room, where built-ins offer additional storage. A den provides a versatile space that is perfect for an bedroom, office, playroom, or lounge area. The full bathroom on this floor includes a tub shower and classic blue penny round tile flooring. A welcoming entryway foyer with a convenient laundry closet adds to the home’s practicality. One of the home’s highlights is the screened porch, an ideal spot to start your day with coffee or unwind in the evening while taking in the peaceful sights and sounds of nature. Upstairs, hardwood floors continue into all three bedrooms, each with ceiling fans. A beautifully renovated full bathroom with stylish accent tile and a tub shower serves this level. Step outside to discover a serene setting on the 0.35-acre lot, where mature trees, lush greenery, and meticulously manicured landscaping create a private oasis. The fenced backyard features a spacious brick patio and a lawn, offering plenty of space for hosting gatherings or enjoying quiet moments outdoors. Additional features include an unfinished basement with ample storage space, a one-car garage, and a long driveway.
