The second level offers four bedrooms (town card has three), a full bath, and numerous closets. This home also has a front porch, a side porch, and a back porch! The front porch embodies everything you'd expect from a Victorian, with lovely details and views toward the center down Arundel.

The back porch is large enough for outdoor meals and entertaining, overlooking the yard. The yard is open, flat, and level. There is a two-car detached garage with a full walk-up. This space over the garage can be used as a workshop but also has the potential to be converted into a home office or recreation area!

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
