Property Description

A covered stone porch overlooking nearly an acre of gardens and mature trees sets the tone for this six-bedroom West Towson colonial, offering approximately 3,540 finished square feet. Light defines the main level. Generous windows and multiple sets of French doors fill each room with natural light and keep the gardens in view throughout. The kitchen and family room were opened into a single, gracious space and fully renovated. Crisp white cabinetry is paired with richly veined countertops, and a large island holds a gas cooktop and seating for four beneath a trio of pendant lights. Stainless KitchenAid appliances include a French-door refrigerator and double wall ovens, and a window over the sink frames views of the garden. Refinished hardwood floors run throughout, and the adjoining family room centers on a wood-burning fireplace. Across the center hall, the formal living room features a brick wood-burning fireplace, and the dining room opens through French doors to the yard. From the kitchen, French doors open to the home’s signature feature. The covered porch is laid in natural flagstone and finished with a crisp white paneled ceiling, a ceiling fan, and classic white railings. Raised above the gardens and sheltered from sun and rain, it serves as a true extension of the main living space, with room for a full dining table and a generous lounge area and comfortable use from early spring well into fall. Beyond the porch, flagstone paths and terraced stone walls lead through layered, mature plantings to a stone grilling area and hot tub, while an open lawn rests quietly at the edge of the woods. It is a property made for long evenings outside. Upstairs, five bedrooms with hardwood floors include the primary suite, whose renovated bath features a frameless glass shower and striking geometric tile. The renovated hall bath offers a glass-enclosed tub surrounded by warm wood-look tile. The lower level adds a 26-foot recreation room lined with built-in shelving, a sixth bedroom with French doors and large windows, a full bath with a slate-tiled shower, and direct access to the two-car garage. A newer boiler and water heater, leaf-protected gutters, fresh interior and exterior paint, and an EV charger complete the home’s most recent updates. Tucked into West Towson, the home is minutes from downtown Towson’s shops and restaurants, with easy access to I-695, I-83, and downtown Baltimore, and close to highly regarded public and private schools.
