Welcome to the heart of Catonsville in the sought after community of Oak Forest. This classic 1929 home is the perfect mix of traditional and modern living with 4 levels of space. The main level is an open floor plan with an amazing flow from the foyer to the large living room (with a gas fireplace installed in 2023), to the spacious dining room with new lighting, to the family room where the comfy sectional sofa conveys. This is an amazing entertaining space, or room to simply spread out.

The smallest of the 4 bedrooms has full walk-up stairs to the 4th level attic room with tons of possibilities for an office, art studio, craft room, exercise room, or extra bedroom, etc. The basement also has many possibilities, and features an upgraded electrical box, workbench, and a large separate utility room great for lawn equipment, bikes, etc., which has a convenient entrance directly into the backyard. There is also an outside side entrance to the basemen at the driveway. The basement is complete with a sump pump (less than 5 years old) and a French drain. Other recent big ticket updates include furnace in 2018, windows on the first floor (3-5 yrs), roof in 2016, first floor split system in 2015, central air for upstairs in 2015, & driveway repaving in 2022 (driveway fits 5 cars).
