OFFER DEADLINE SET FOR 5PM ON 7/1/25 Welcome to this beautiful 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom, 1 half bath home on a level, regular shaped lot of almost 1/2 acre in sought-after Allview Estates. The house has been very well maintained and is move-in ready just awaiting your finishing {personalizing} touches. Columbia, with its many amenities, surrounds Allview Estates. Yet, Allview Estates predates the city, so is excluded from the Columbia property tax. The house has four levels split front to back. As you enter the home, you're greeted by gleaming hardwood floors and a large family room to the right with vaulted ceiling and a wood burning fireplace set at the far end in a red brick wall. Hardwood stairs lead up to the bedroom level and down to the kitchen, dining room, and laundry level. There is also a generously sized bedroom on the entry level that can be used as an office or flex space. The upstairs level has 3 additional bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Two of the three upstairs bedrooms have a generous amount of closet space and built in drawers, which optimize the space. The next level down from the front entry features an eat-in kitchen with high quality 42" upper cabinets, ample pantry storage and is adjacent to the dining room from which a sliding door provides access to a wonderful 3 season room that overlooks the large backyard. On the other side of the kitchen is a half bath and large laundry room with a utility sink and a door out to the back yard. Steps lead down from the laundry room to the large finished area of the basement, which is more formally accessed via hardwood steps from the kitchen. A wood-burning fireplace is set within the brick wall of the finished basement area. The basement also has a large unfinished room with closets for storage and space for shop, crafts, and/or exercise equipment. There are no covenants or HOA, so you can easily add structures to the property. A shed is attached to the back of the 1 car garage, and the 1 car-wide driveway splits before reaching the garage to park 2 cars without blocking access to the garage. All windows above the basement are double-pane, double-hung vinyl replacement windows, with the exception of the double-pane vinyl picture window in the family room. The gas furnace and HVAC, Hot Water water heater and as well as the roof have all been updated. Additionally, the home is in an A+ prime location, being minutes to MD-32, Route 29, I-95, MD-108, MD-100, and MD-175, making commuting and daily errands easy. This location is a springboard to Baltimore, Annapolis, and D.C., making it a commuter's paradise while being close to shopping, restaurants and all the conveniences of life you could want. Schedule your showing today as the house is priced to sell and won't last long. Don’t miss out on this opportunity!
