Located in Lavender Hill in Baltimore County's Parkville community, you'll find a two story brick home that's been built to last. Listed by David Tomasko of Guerilla Realty, 2805 Alden Rd Parkville, Maryland 21234 is the type of residence that may inspire feelings of nostalgia. Its a 20th century classic. I grew up in a neighborhood filled with 1930's and 1940's homes. These "house shaped" houses are not to be overlooked. They are to be loved.
Listed for $250,000 the interior of the home has a traditional floor plan and hardwood floors throughout. The owner has selected contemporary paint colors across the gray and blue spectrum that give the space a modern flourish.
Like those curved arches? That's a classic 1930's feature. The breakfast room occupies the space that housed the former kitchen. You might not know it, but living in a home where you have to eat breakfast lunch and dinner in the same room is just not civilized. Speaking of dining, a nearby community resource you're sure to enjoy is George's Farm Market located steps from the home at the corner of Alden and Harford Rd, it's a family run business that's been offering farm fresh local produce for the past forty years.
Lots of counter space is to be found in the kitchen at 2805 Alden Rd, including a favorite of mine butchers block. Cabinets for days are good for all your storage needs. Including room for those swanky cocktail glasses that would be oh so perfect in your c.1930's home.
Don't feel like cooking? Our listing agent suggests the following local spots to grab a bite:
The Fractured Prune, just north on Harford Rd a bit of Ocean City, MD close to home - ummm doughnuts.
House of Kabob, Persian cuisine, winner of best Middle Eastern Restaurant by Baltimore's City Paper
Just off the kitchen you'll a peaceful sun room overlooking the back yard, ideal for curling up with your latest book. A skylight allows afternoon sun year round, weather permitting of course.
The top floor of the home has three bedrooms and one full bath. Our listing agent David Tomasko notes that there's an alcove on the top floor that could be converted to a second bathroom. Supposedly a second bathroom used to exist and there may already be plumbing in place. We'll rely on the opinion of a qualified home inspector to make the final determination.
What takes this home from good to great? The dreamy artist studio in the backyard. This detached studio workshop is a private oasis with all the amenities including heating + cooling, track lighting, and nearly 400 square feet. Now is the time to test that creative side you always thought you had or begin those guitar lessons you've been putting off. Baltimore real estate for Creative Professionals is Parkville on your radar?
The back yard is a sweet spot to let your favorite four-legged friend roam free, or if you are looking for some exercise grab the leash and head over to Double Rock Park.
While we're discussing exterior features, please note this home has a private driveway that provides ample room for multiple cars and a side entrance to the basement allows for easy access to bikes and yard equipment.
Open House Sunday September 13, 2015 from 12pm to 2pm. Also available by appointment.
