Description

FIRST HOME? LET THIS ONE HELP PAY FOR ITSELF. Backs to a park, 1/4 mile to Towson University, NO HOA.

Stop paying rent and start building equity in this move-in ready Towson townhome. Three finished levels, a renovated gourmet kitchen with stainless steel appliances, granite counters and a great backsplash, gorgeous hardwood floors and updated baths. The hot water heater was replaced in July, so one big expense is already handled.

Out back, the deck looks onto the park with nothing built behind you, and a 1-car parking pad in the rear keeps your parking simple. With no HOA, there are no association fees and no one telling you what to do with your home.

ROOM TO GROW OR ROOM TO EARN: The washer and dryer are on the bedroom level in a room currently used as a large walk-in closet. Move the laundry to the basement hookups and that room becomes a true bedroom. The finished basement can be a 4th bedroom, home office, rec room or man cave. Live in one room and rent the others, or keep it all for yourself.

HOUSE-HACK YOUR WAY IN: Let roommates or tenants help cover the mortgage while your equity builds. Towson University is a quarter mile away, so rental demand is built in. Parents of students, buying beats four years of dorm or apartment bills with nothing to show for it.
