Welcome home to your classic Cape Cod on a quiet tree-lined street in the small Baltimore County community of Idlewylde. Quaint and Quiet. Loaded with charm. Updated electrical system. Historical touches include colonnades built into the facade of the enclosed front sunporch walls, topped by sunburst style wood-framed windows to bring in the morning sun. The 1st floor rooms have white oak hardwood planking with heart-of-pine subflooring throughout and in the living room, an original decorative radiator cover serves as an end table under one interior window, while two exterior windows showcase an azalea on the neighbor's extra lot. The den features two built-in white bookcases with storage cabinets beneath. White wood paneling accents the ceiling of the large dining room, along with a south-facing bay window and an encircling plate rail. The kitchen was renovated with convenience in mind and is notable for the number of windows that require no curtains since the views are of sky and the large backyard shaded by several large maple and cherry trees. A kitchen breakfast nook includes a built-in table perfect for corralling young ones at mealtime or for guests to chat while waiting for dinner. Nice sized main floor bedroom with two windows bringing in lots of natural light. On the second floor you'll find the owner's suite and the 3rd bedroom, both with real wood parquet flooring, with nice closet space and big extra storage in the "under-the eaves" areas, finished with faux wood vinyl planking. The owner's bedroom is graced by the slopes of the upper plaster walls and faces out towards two tall conifer trees bordering the quiet street out front. The hall window illuminates the stairwell, particularly at sunset. The 1st floor bath has the historic black and white checkerboard tile and an old style porcelain tub with shower, while the 2nd floor bath is graced with a large vanity mirror and a porcelain tub and shower. Most walls are plaster and the main house windows vary throughout, as either aluminum or vinyl. The windows in the sunporch, front living room and in the kitchen nook are wood. The partially-covered back porch is made of stone and surrounded by black wrought iron rails. The full unfinished basement features two sump pumps, a very effective French drain, a 9ft workbench and paneled storage space. A quaint one-car garage is situated in the backyard for parking one car or for storing lawn and other equipment. The property is almost a third of an acre! Flat and usable for the kids playing, the dog running, gardening or just sitting and enjoying the tranquility. The driveway is low-runoff with a mixture of small pebbles and gravel for a base with grass over top and the yard is pesticide-free. The sewer line to the street sewer main has been "sleeved" to block invasion of tree roots, preventing problems over the coming years. Don't miss out on this amazing property!
