Where Craftsman Character Meets Lower Laurel Living
Built in 1912 and beautifully maintained ever since, this Craftsman home has spent over a century gathering character — and today it pairs that old-world charm with the modern updates today's homeowners appreciate. Set on a generous corner lot in the desirable Lower Laurel neighborhood, this home makes its first impression before you even reach the door. A classic front porch welcomes you in, hinting at the warmth that awaits inside.
A Home That Feels Like Home
Cross the threshold and discover a beautifully kept interior with a fabulous open layout. Sunlight pours through the windows, filling each room with a soft, inviting glow, while thoughtful architectural details tell the story of a home built to last. Both inside and out, this property radiates harmony — a place designed for living, breathing, kicking off your shoes, and gathering the people you love.
Impeccable hardwood floors flow underfoot throughout the home, while built-in china cabinet bookcases, cozy sitting nooks, elegant coffered ceilings, and classic chair rail moldings speak to the quality craftsmanship of a bygone era — details that have stood the test of time for more than 100 years and continue to enchant every visitor who walks through the door.
The Kitchen: A True Showstopper
At the center of this home is a spectacular kitchen that more than lives up to the hype. Crisp white cabinetry pairs beautifully with sleek waterfall Quartz slab countertops, while a butcher block island — complete with a hanging pot rack — adds both function and style. Stainless steel appliances, including a gas range, and a classic subway tile backsplash complete the look, making this kitchen the unrivaled gathering spot of the home.
The kitchen flows nicely into the dining room, which in turn opens naturally into the living room — creating a connected, easy layout that's excellent for entertaining or simply enjoying everyday life.
Flexible Living Space
While public records list this home as a 2-bedroom, a third room is in existence and offers wonderful flexibility. Currently used as a bedroom AND an office, this versatile space could just as easily become a home office, creative studio, guest room or a peaceful meditation room: it's so nice to have this extra space.
Comfort is a year-round guarantee here, thanks to central heating and air conditioning — meaning even on the hottest days, you'll always have a cool, comfortable retreat to come home to.
Endless Potential, Inside and Out
The detached garage offers exciting possibilities of its own. Currently being used as an art studio, this flexible space could serve as a traditional garage, a private home office, your own creative sanctuary — or, given its ADU potential, an entirely new living space down the road.
Out back, a beautifully landscaped yard awaits, offering just the right balance of green space — private, serene, and quite easy to maintain, without ever feeling like a chore. It's the perfect spot to plant a fall garden and, come October, pick your own pumpkins right at home.
Downstairs, a spacious basement provides abundant storage — or, as the current owners have discovered, the perfect setup for a home gym.
Unbeatable Location
Location doesn't get much more convenient than this. With quick access to I-580, your daily commute is a breeze. Everyday errands and weekend outings are just as easy, with Farmer Joe's Marketplace, Ghost Town Brewery, and a wonderful array of coffee shops and restaurants all within a few blocks of your front door.
This is more than a house — it's a place with history, heart, and room to grow. Come see it for yourself.
