Notes: |
Unique, 4.5 level custom-designed family homestead,<br />
surrounded by farmland, one mile from Carroll Elementary School. Centrally located 20<br />
minutes from Towson, Bel Air, Fallston, and Hunt Valley. Four bedrooms with options for<br />
more, 3.5 bathrooms, large home office, sewing/arts & crafts space, living room,<br />
study/music room, dining room, eat-in kitchen with large island, fully-finished basement<br />
and bonus rooms throughout. Exterior features include attached 2-car garage, large barn<br />
with stall and electric, storage shed, chicken coop, vegetable garden, fruit trees, perennial<br />
gardens, fish pond, fire pit, rear deck and an extra-deep, wraparound front porch with<br />
mahogany flooring. Mechanicals include 2-zone HVAC, 5-burner Jenn-Air cooktop, double<br />
wall oven, 2 refrigerators, propane fireplace, 500-gallon propane tank (owned, not rented),<br />
laundry room in basement with additional hook-up available on 1st floor, 80-gallon hot<br />
water tank, 400-foot deep well with pump, filter, neutralizer and water softener, exterior hot<br />
tub electric panel, ceiling fans throughout and on front porch, and full electric in the barn.<br />
Originally built in 1961, the current owners designed and expanded the home to include two<br />
more levels, flanked by brick walkways that lead to an extra-deep, welcoming, luxurious<br />
Southern-style front porch. Enter through the front door to an immediate light-filled view of<br />
the expansive surrounding land. There will be no shortage of cabinet and counter space for<br />
your family’s cooks and bakers, and the views out the window will elevate your kitchen<br />
encounters. An annex behind the kitchen can be used as an office, breakfast room, exercise<br />
space—you decide. Currently it houses a pantry, extra refrigerator and optional<br />
washer/dryer hookup. A bedroom on the first floor with adjoining bathroom provides the<br />
possibility of 1st-floor living and even a separate entrance. Heading a few steps down from<br />
the kitchen you’ll descend into a living room with gas fireplace (easily converted back to<br />
wood-burning), antique exposed beams and even more illuminating views of nature. Access<br />
the 2-car garage from here without going outside. The finished basement with its multitude<br />
of storage closets and full-size laundry room is large enough for sleep-overs, movie nights,<br />
a home gym…the possibilities are endless. Back up on the main floor, glowing with extrawide plank Brazilian cherry wood floors, ascend to the 2nd level where you’ll find a cozy<br />
sitting area (can be converted to another bedroom), three bedrooms and two full baths.<br />
Take the steps up still one more level to an enormous home office that spans the entire<br />
length of the house. The backyard boasts a beautiful multi-level deck and concrete patio all<br />
on just under one acre of land with mature trees, expansive perennial gardens and a<br />
charming barn with metal roof. Behind the barn is an established, fully-fenced prolific<br />
vegetable garden with enclosed beds, fruit trees and chicken coop. As the sun sets, gather<br />
around the fire pit, listen to the night sounds and gaze at the stars. Raise your family here,<br />
gather your friends and loved ones inside and outside, commune with nature and enjoy<br />
everything that this outstanding property has to offer. Welcome home. |
