In the heart of Historic University Park, this timeless residence blends classic charm with modern sophistication across three finished levels. A classic brick exterior wraps the front and sides, paired with a stone walkway and welcoming portico to set the tone for the elegance inside. Offering five bedrooms, three and a half baths, multiple home office options, and a beautifully landscaped backyard, the home has been thoughtfully renovated with high-end finishes and custom details throughout. Step into the formal living room, where hardwood flooring and crown molding create a refined atmosphere. A cozy brick-accent fireplace is framed by built-in cabinets, adding both warmth and function. Toward the back of the home, the open-concept kitchen, dining, and family room serve as the central gathering space. The kitchen renovation spared no expense, featuring inset wood cabinetry with organizing inserts, upgraded counters, an island with seating and prep sink, and stainless steel appliances including a gas range. The adjacent dining area offers plenty of space and opens to the backyard, while the family room is filled with natural light from three walls of windows and glass-paneled French doors leading to the balcony. This level is further enhanced by a pantry, powder room, side entrance from the driveway, and two home office options, one with wraparound built-in bookcases. Upstairs, the primary suite is a retreat of its own, showcasing a unique walk-in-and-around closet with custom organizers, a three-paneled floor-length mirror, and built-in dresser. The luxurious en-suite bath includes a double vanity with hidden storage, a floor-to-ceiling tiled shower with skylight, complemented by custom wood paneling on the outside that ties the room together. Three additional bedrooms with hardwood flooring share a full bath complete with a soaking tub and tiled surround. The lower level expands the living space with a recreation room, versatile bonus room, fifth bedroom, full bath, and a laundry room with abundant storage. A walk-up provides access to the backyard, where a wood patio, mature landscaping, shade trees, and a winding rock rain garden create a serene outdoor setting. This home’s location offers the best of small-town charm and city convenience. Just steps from the neighborhood park, playground, and EV charging station, you’ll also enjoy proximity to two Metro stations, the MARC train, the University of Maryland, Trader Joe’s, Riverdale Park Station, and the upcoming Purple Line. Combining history, luxury, and location, this University Park gem is truly a rare find.
