You’ll never want to leave this captivating homestead nestled among hay fields, one mile from Carroll Manor Elementary, 5 miles from shopping, and centrally located 20 minutes from Fallston, Towson and Hunt Valley.Originally built in 1961, the current owners designed and expanded the home to include two more levels, flanked by brick walkways that lead to an extra-deep, welcoming, luxurious Southern-style front porch. Enter through the front door to an immediate light-filled view of the expansive surrounding land. A dining room leads to the kitchen that beckons all to gather along the island and in the adjacent lounge area. There will be no shortage of cabinet and counter space for your family’s cooks and bakers, and the views out the window will elevate your kitchen encounters. An annex behind the kitchen can be used as an office, breakfast room, exercise space—you decide. Currently it houses a pantry, extra refrigerator and optional washer/dryer hookup. A bedroom on the first floor with adjoining bathroom provides the possibility of 1st-floor living and even a separate entrance. Heading a few steps down from the kitchen you’ll descend into a living room with gas fireplace (easily converted back to wood-burning), exposed beams and even more illuminating views of nature. Access the 2-car garage from here without going outside.The finished basement with its multitude of storage closets and full-size laundry room is large enough for sleep-overs, movie nights, a home gym…the possibilities are endless.Back up on the main floor, glowing with extra-wide plank Brazilian cherry wood floors, ascend to the 2nd level where you’ll find a cozy sitting area (can be converted to another bedroom), three bedrooms and two full baths. Take the steps up still one more level to an enormous home office that spans the entire length of the house. The backyard boasts a beautiful multi-level deck and concrete patio all on just under one acre of land with mature trees, expansive perennial gardens and a charming barn with metal roof. Behind the barn is an established, fully-fenced prolific vegetable garden with enclosed beds, fruit trees and chicken coop. As the sun sets, gather around the fire pit, listen to the night sounds and gaze at the stars. Start your legacy here, raise your family here, gather your friends and loved ones inside and outside, commune with nature and enjoy everything that this outstanding property has to offer.
