8201 Bellona Ave, Towson, MD 21204

Description

Tucked among mature trees in Towson, this 3 bedroom brick-front Colonial comes with an adjoining .27 acre lot, and nearly every window looks out to greenery. Wide hardwood floors run through the main level, where a wood-burning fireplace sits between built-in bookcases in the living room and a crystal chandelier hangs over the wainscoted dining room. The main-level bonus room with built-in shelving is ready to be a sitting room, playroom or home office. The 2019 eat-in kitchen pairs white and gray shaker cabinetry with a farmhouse sink under a window full of trees, a stainless gas range, subway tile and a walk-in pantry. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a walk-in closet and an updated en suite with a double vanity and a glass-enclosed shower with a marble chevron niche. The lower level (2023 remodel plus full bath addition) is where this house pulls ahead: a rec room with a second fireplace and a long run of built-ins, a full bath, a mudroom with a built-in bench, laundry with washer and dryer, and access to the 1 car garage. Out the dining room door, a brick patio sits under cafe lights, and a deck waits up among the trees. Just pack your suitcase, because the big-ticket items are done, including the roof (2015), driveway and tiered retaining walls (2022), and HVAC (2023). Graul's Ruxton is minutes down Bellona and the Lake Roland trails are close by. Two fireplaces, one canopy of turning leaves: all that's left is deciding where to light the first fire pit of the season.
