Storybook Colonial tucked among some of the most charming homes in University Park. Set in a private garden-like setting on a picturesque block of 44th Avenue, this 4BR/2.5BA home blends timeless character, flexible living space, and exceptional indoor-outdoor living. Classic details including a welcoming portico, flagstone walkway, glass doorknobs, crown molding, wainscoting, tall baseboards, and oak and pine floors blend with thoughtful updates including fresh paint, refinished floors, new carpet, high-quality replacement windows, waterproofing, and sump pump. The traditional layout lives comfortably with a gracious living room featuring a gas fireplace, formal dining room, main-level office, powder room, and a large light-filled kitchen with abundant counter space, a huge window overlooking the backyard and banquette seating for a breakfast table. One of the home’s standout features is its seamless connection to outdoor spaces. Enjoy a main-level screened porch, multiple patios, and shaded gathering spaces perfect for entertaining, gardening, play, or relaxing outdoors. The fenced backyard offers additional privacy and functionality, while the long driveway extends directly to the side entrance of the home, making everyday unloading and access especially convenient. Upstairs, the primary bedroom includes a rare walk-in closet, while a secondary bedroom opens to a charming screened sleeping porch — a unique feature rarely found today. The third bedroom features good storage options, and the upper level is served by a spacious shared bathroom. The finished attic level serves as a private suite with its own bathroom, ideal for guests, a home office, or studio space. The large unfinished basement offers excellent storage and future potential. Conveniently located near the University of Maryland, Metro, Baltimore Avenue dining and shopping, and within the University Park Elementary School district. Previously owned by acclaimed author James M. Cain, known for writing The Postman Always Rings Twice. View this listing at: http://www.juliansmithrealtor.com/mls=MDPG2200466
