Can you picture yourself in a huge brick rancher with a two car attached carport plus an oversized 3 car garage that actually holds four cars. (I will write a separate article on those four restored beauties.)
Now, back to the main house… sitting on a beautiful level landscaped lot at the corner of Winterset and Old Post..just minutes from Exit 21 of the Baltimore Beltway 695.. such a convenient location. Close but not too close!
This custom, well built mid-century, brick and stone residence has so much to offer that you could call it a ‘forever’ house with complete accessibility… no steps, other than the ones leading to the 4th bedroom!
This is a home for entertaining with the long double driveway…parking for lots of guests.
When you drive up, notice the ‘3317’ on the brick mailbox custom made for the long time owners. There are many unique custom features such as a curved wall, stone planter, pocket doors between the family room and dining areas, and a bricked in gas grill in the spacious eat in kitchen.
Need a home office or den? There is a room for you on one side of the kitchen. Another bonus room houses the extra freezer, refrigerator, washer, dryer, large storage area, and has its own door to the covered carport area.
The grand stone fireplace, a focal point of this special residence, can be enjoyed from the living room, dining room, foyer and family room. The generous open spaces allow for creative placement of furniture.
The kitchen has a storage wall of custom wood cabinetry, a breakfast area, gas grill, loads of cabinet space, a salad sink with disposal and another deeper sink. Pantries on each side of the oven.
The amount of storage and the design is a functional work of art. Take a look and you may be asking: “what’s behind door # 1, door # 2 etc. Do you see the elegant “jewelry” hardware on these doors?
The house is transformed when this “wall” opens for entertaining, giving easy access to the open bar into the kitchen.
The dining area is defined by the elegant fireplace, with matching custom wood, the custom wall of cabinets and the adjacent family room. The owners took a great deal of pride choosing the art deco dining room chandelier.
This entire space is opened by a full wall of glass containing two sets of sliders to the patio areas. Another set of sliders from the large paneled family room, again, give access to the patio, level yard and storage shed.
Abundant storage throughout the home and don’t forget about the enormous space, now housing four cars. Completely finished with attic insulation, windows, heat and air conditioning. Not a car enthusiast…how about using for a studio, office or recreation area. Bet you could come up with many ideas for this separate but close to the house structure.
The three first floor bedrooms on the other side of the house and are separated by a door and boast rich dark parquet floors.
Look at the main bath room with double sinks, a slight corner tub and seating area. Check out the custom designed tiles of this delightful home built in 1959.
Stairs leading up to the large fourth bedroom.. measuring 19’ x 19’..has a large bright window, walk in closet plus a good old fashioned cedar lined closet. This upstairs space has its own heat and air conditioning.
The master bedroom, with dressing room, mirrored closet with built in drawers, and stall shower, has plenty of space for designing the most luxurious bath/spa.
With a bit of TLC, this home could be spectacular again.
