Nestled on a spacious .48-acre corner lot, this charming brick rancher, built in 1959 by the listing agent's great-grandparents, is steeped in history and character. As the first home ever constructed on Gambrills Road, it stands as a testament to the area's rich past, long before the advent of Highway 32 and its overpass. Passed down through three generations, this home has been lovingly maintained and mostly remodeled, blending modern comforts with the timeless charm of a classic mid-century residence. The all-brick exterior exudes durability and warmth, while the bay windows in the living room invite abundant natural light, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The main level features three bedrooms, including the primary bedroom with an updated en-suite bath featuring a walk-in closet and large format ceramic tile flooring in 2021, adding a touch of contemporary elegance. Two additional bedrooms share a full bath that has been partially demoed and is ready for renovation. Off the kitchen, you'll find a versatile flex room that can be used as a formal dining room, a family room, or even as an extension of the primary bedroom. The home's interior is a harmonious blend of old-world charm and modern updates. The kitchen, fully remodeled in 2018, features new appliances, luxury vinyl plank flooring from 2017, and fresh paint throughout the home. For those who appreciate outdoor living, the fenced-in backyard offers a serene retreat, complete with mature trees that provide a lovely canopy of shade. With ample space for entertaining, the property includes two sheds for storage and a two-car detached garage with its own driveway. The large basement, partially finished, holds potential for additional living space, ready to be customized to your liking. This home's location is ideal for commuters, with easy access to highways 32, 97, 100, and Route 3, making trips to Crofton and Washington, D.C., a breeze. Families will appreciate the proximity to Arundel High and Middle School, just a five-minute drive away, and Odenton Elementary School, only six minutes away. The neighborhood is quiet and friendly, with plenty of local restaurants and grocery stores, including David's Natural Food Market, just a short drive away. Recent updates include a total roof replacement in 2018 with architectural shingles, waterproofing of the basement the same year, and a brand-new hot water heater installed in 2024. The windows in the living room were replaced in 2017, while the rest of the home's windows were updated in 2000. The back addition received leveled floor joists in 2020, ensuring the home remains solid and secure for years to come. This lovingly cared-for home, rich in history and full of potential, is ready to welcome its next chapter with you. |
