There is so much space! **NEW ROOF installed June 14th, 2025, on the original house with 50 yr architectural shingles. The addition on the back of the house was done in 2017** One-of-a-Kind Charmer with Character, Space & Style! Step into a home that’s anything but cookie-cutter! Nestled in a quiet Essex neighborhood, this lovingly cared-for 2-bedroom, 1-bath home has been thoughtfully expanded and artistically styled to create a space that feels warm, welcoming, and full of personality. From the charming blue exterior and decorative trim to the white picket fence and lush gardens, the curb appeal is undeniable. Inside, you’ll find a vintage-inspired kitchen with a farmhouse sink that is stamped "Shaws Original Since 1897", custom tile backsplash, and whimsical decor elements throughout. The rear addition is a versatile retreat—ideal for flex space, entertaining space, or an amazing sports party! Upstairs, a charming loft-style space with exposed beams and original wood floors leads to a spacious, light-filled bedroom with vaulted ceilings and an oversized walk-in closet with three sets of beautiful ornate doors. The open flow creates a cozy and creative retreat—perfect for a private primary suite, studio space, or even a potential third bedroom if desired.🌟Outdoor Highlights Include: Fully fenced yard with mature landscaping, large deck with pergola perfect for summer nights, three sheds for storage, gardening, or workshop space, paver patio and firepit area for entertaining, driveway (enough space a boat) and street parking. 🌟 Interior Features: Updated floors and rustic-modern finishes, wood fireplace in rear addition, an electric fireplace with custom tile surround in the dining room, unique vintage doors, light fixtures & décor throughout. Whether you’re a collector, a creative soul, or just someone looking for a cozy, move-in ready space with loads of character, this home is a must-see. Located in Baltimore County, just minutes from the water, marinas, shops, and commuter routes.
