Old House Charm in Elkridge, MD

By
Real Estate Agent with Thompson Company, REALTORS® 240.593.2860 MD594797

As dreary as yesterday was, I had to step out to preview a charming old house in Elkridge, MD. It was worth it! This home was built in 1899 and is within walking distance to one of my favorite Howard County restaurants. It has three spacious bedrooms, two full baths, one powder room, a large eat-in kitchen with coffered ceilings, a surprising amount of storage space, and oh-so-much character. 

My favorite were the original hardwood floors, and the upper level that once was an attic. It was beautifully refinished into a retreat featuring a beamed cathedral ceiling, and an en-suite bathroom. Look at that clawfoot tub! It's perfectly situated to dream the day away. I could see myself soaking in there while getting lost in a good book. This space could be an owner's suite, an amazing guest space, or a studio which is what the sellers have used it as. Yes! I spent some time admiring their original artwork displayed throughout the house. 

This home is a gem! It is not quite right for my relocation buyers however, but perhaps it is just the home you are looking for? You can reach me at 240.593.2860 if you would like more detailed information and/or to schedule a private home tour.

♥ It's always been the vintage, the old house charm, and the original details that I adore the most, that draw me in, make my [REALTOR®] heart flutter, and prompt me to pause, to listen, and then to retell their stories. I specialize in finding and marketing charming homes that are unique and rich in character, history, or both. I believe in preservation, second chances, saving the pink bathrooms, and front porch living. In this series, I highlight charming homes that I am listing to find just the right buyer for or that I am admiring with my special clients; or that have simply caught my eye while exploring the [historic] communities of Maryland and [far] beyond. Adore charming homes as much as I do? Then I'd love it if you'd follow me on Instagram, @onceuponahaus is where I grow my curated collection. ♥

Good for you for taking the time to see if this listing would work for your buyers. You might find another buyer it would work perfectly for and yo would have the scoop on it!

Yes I was always a fan when I represented buyers to suggest to them see if a property worked for them and like Dorie Dillard Austin TX  it might work for another one if not for these:)Endre

Always good knowing what is on the market, Endre Barath, Jr.. I am working with relocation clients and love going on the hunt for them :) You never know what a home is like until you see it in person.

Old house charm is sure to appeal to the perfect buyer! And nothing like original hardwood flooring - that gives a home such character.

They were in such great shape, Kat Palmiotti! I love it when the original character is preserved.
