One level living is complimented by one of the nicest neighborhoods in the area. This desirable mid century home offers classic features and modern updates. With an abundance of charm and character and a huge lower level ready for anything you want it to be. Natural wood including hard wood floors. a delightful bay window and wood buring fireplace. Need parking? A significant detached garage will appeal to all. A carport is also great for those other vehicles too.

Here is what the sellers have to say:

When we first found our home at 10517 Justice Place, we were first attracted to the huge, flat yard and the perfect location! It had that “Welcome Home” feel right from the start. It is such a private community that the journey to the house is always enjoyable. What we have loved about our home is welcoming our 2 smallest children to the world. Howard County General Hospital is conveniently close. As they are growing, we really enjoy playing with our kids in the large living room, cooking big family meals in the generously sized kitchen, and enjoying both the sunrise and sunset from our porch. We had huge plans to make the lower level into a play-area extravaganza and “Man Cave”, but life is busy with kids!!!

Since living in our home we have fully renovated the master bathroom. It’s a great space to relax. Having 2 full bathrooms on the main level has been wonderful. Having everything on one level has kept us sane too. It’s a wonderful space. Having hardwood floors throughout is one of the delights of older, well built homes.  We love the huge detached 2 car garage. Perfect for “tinkering”

In Stella Glen II, our neighborhood is great for porch parties, walks around Allview Estates, and yard games on the huge property. We are also in great proximity to the highway without any of the noise! Many people have never heard of our community. The neighborhood is quiet, but with a few families with young kids. The neighbors are easy going and super friendly! It’s a close knit community and we all like to help each other out as much as we can.

Some of the things we love about living in Columbia are the easy access to all our shopping needs. Almost anything you will ever need is within a 15min drive! My kids love visiting the rock climbing gym, trampoline park, nearby playgrounds, and having a picnic in the many beautiful parks! Some of our favorite restaurants around this home are The Cheesecake Factory, Chick fil a, Koto Sake, Best Hunan, and Chutney. The grocery store we use is Harris Teeter. Maple Lawn is a short drive with great restaurants and services. also have a great proximity to the Columbia Mall…..which is in a forever state of growth with incredible stores and conveniences. On some evenings when there are concerts at Merriweather, we can sit outside and enjoy.

We moved to Howard County for the great schools! We have really enjoyed the educational journey provided by HCPSS. The proximity to DC and Baltimore and Fort Meade made this home a solid 10 for us.  

Who better to tell you about this gracious classic home than the Seller. 

When we found our home at 4303 Kensington Road, I was first attracted to the untouched, original features still in beautiful condition. I loved the large pane windows with the antique wavy glass, and there were just so many windows! Light floods into the house on a bright and sunny day. I studied historical preservation at college, so I was drawn to the home's original features like the oh-so-sweet Kitchen Nook and separate Oven Room. I had considered putting in a half-bath in the oven room, but in the summertime the kitchen does stay nice and cool with the oven on in it's separate little area. They knew what they were doing back in 1928 when the house was built. I loved the sconce lights, the working fireplace, and the French Doors in the living room. The three-season porch was a big draw too.       What we love about our home is catching up with friends in the Kitchen Nook after dinner. It's such a cozy little space, like a booth at an old classic Diner. That Nook has been the center of our home, where homework is done, meals are enjoyed, and most importantly, there have been many heart-to-heart conversations in that sweet space, usually accompanied with a good glass of wine…or two. We love sitting in the living room in the winter with the fireplace crackling away, listening to Nat King Cole on the record player. The side porch is a great place during the warm months to keep a jungle of house plants. I used the side porch as an art studio for a little while, until we had the art studio shed installed in the backyard a few years ago. We loved being in the garden, and the backyard was a great spot for the kids to play. There may or may not have been some pretty competitive badminton matches played there….!              We didn't need to to any big renovations in the house, but we did replace the furnace and the water heater a few years ago. An electrician updated the outlets, installed an attic fan, and replaced some of the ceiling fans. We did paint the entire house blue to give it a richer cottagey feel, and the original front door was found in the garage, so we put that back in place after sprucing it up a bit. (The aluminum storm door with the eagle silhouette from the 1970s wasn't the look we were going for!) We also reglazed and repainted the original storm windows for the entire first floor. One of the biggest upgrades we did was put in a French drain system around the interior perimeter of the house, install two sump pumps, and fill in the dirt crawl spaces with concrete floors. Since then, the basement has been happily dry and great for storage. At the same time, the contractor poured a beautiful concrete driveway and poured a concrete floor in the garage. Another big expense was installing two backyard sheds, one for the pottery studio, and one for garden tools and bikes. The art studio got electricity so I could run my kiln. During the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak, I used my time at home to insulate, drywall, trim out and lay flooring in the art studio. I was ready to move in, it was so cute!              

The Kensington neighborhood is quite a little gem hidden away from the hustle and bustle of Wilkens Ave. It's a diverse neighborhood, with retirees, new families, and everyone in between. A lot of neighbors walk their dogs here, and at the top of the neighborhood is a community garden space. It's not a vegetable garden, but it's a green space around the old railroad tracks. There are a few garden cleanups a year and that's a great time to get to know your neighbors. We have a big block party every year for the whole neighborhood, and we usually celebrate National Night Out with a large spread of fried chicken, watermelon, cookies, soda; the local policemen and firemen always know to join our party that night for some great food! A busload of neighbors with discount tickets in hand go every year to an Orioles game at Camden Yards, and every Easter holiday there's an egg hunt for the kiddos in the old cow field adjacent to the neighborhood. Christmastime brings out the singers who go caroling then land at a neighbor's house to feast. Every year we raise money for a few families who need help during the holidays. All in all, it's a great neighborhood vibe!       

Some of the things we love about living in Baltimore: Patapsco State Park is a five minute drive from the house! Great trail loops for any level of hiking and biking are at your doorstep off Rolling Road across the 195 Park and Ride. Our house is close enough to downtown Baltimore to make it easy to have dinner and see a show, but being in the suburbs, you don't feel close to downtown. The Catonsville High School fireworks are a tradition we love: just park at UMBC and walk down Hilltop Road for a great view of the best fireworks in town. Historic Ellicott City has always been a favorite spot for us as well with all the small shops and quaint eateries. The Howard County Fairgrounds is not too far away, either, so we would love to attend the famous Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival, the biggest of its kind. The farmlands of Howard County are big draw for us, too. Great roads for cycling and just driving.  Some of our favorite restaurants in the area are: The Trolley Stop in Ellicott City, E.C. Diner on Route 40, Catonsville Gourmet, Mission Barbeque in Columbia, Sorrento's of Arbutus, Elkridge Furnace Inn, Tio Pepe's and The Helmand in Mount Vernon, The Brewer's Art in Charles Village, The Evergreen cafe near Roland Park, the list goes on!         The Grocery stores we use are: Weis Market on Maiden Choice Lane, Giant Food on Wilkens Ave, Trader Joe's in Elkridge, and Whole Foods in Columbia. We moved to Baltimore County because of it's proximity to a variety of experiences: you've got the city life and country life. You can shop small or go to the big box stores. The 95 corridor is close by so travel is a breeze. We like driving into Frederick to go antiquing, but we like living close to Baltimore's amenities. The airport is very close to our house as well, so it's easy to pick up friends and family who come into town: they call when they land and we're there when they're ready with luggage. Fifteen minutes, if that.

Who better to tell you about this delightful home than the Sellers. 

When we found our home at 744 Edmondson Ave. we loved the large yard with all of the mature trees, the charming front porch and curb appeal, and having plenty of off-street parking. We knew we wanted good schools, a walkable neighborhood, and plenty of room for a garden, and this house has been great! The house has tons of character inside as well, with original hardwood floors, black & white tile bathroom, and traditional floorplan. It has a lot of storage with a detached garage, attic, and basement too. What we love about our home is how bright and sunny it is in the morning, especially sitting on the front porch or back patio with coffee. We've enjoyed countless family dinners and game nights in our dining room, and our living room has been the place for the whole family to relax. And of course, we spend a lot of time in our private fenced yard hanging out and tending to our gardens. In the summer we get lots of fireflies in the trees behind the house, which is lovely to watch and entertaining for the kids, and in the winter we can walk to Banneker Community Center for sledding. We renovated our kitchen in 2019 by opening it up to the dining room and adding new cabinets and quartz countertops, which has been great for entertaining. Over the years we have maintained the slate roof, had the house repainted, added a partially-finished office/den in the basement, and have made several upgrades including replacing the central air conditioning. We also added landscaping outside with lots of native plantings and large raised beds for vegetable gardening and several types of berries.

In Catonsville our neighborhood is great for its small-town feeling, get-togethers with friends, and all of the amazing food and festivals. Edmondson Avenue has a dedicated bike lane so biking is very convenient, and we often walk or bike with our kids and dog for fun and exercise.     

Some of the things we love about living in Catonsville are being able to walk to so many great shops and restaurants, live music within walking distance, and the Fourth of July parade (which we never miss!).

Our favorite restaurants are Catonsville Gourmet, Atwaters, Wielands BBQ, Farmhouse Greens, Sam's Bagels, Indian Delight, Peace A Pizza, El Agave, and of course, Opie's!          The grocery stores we use are Aldi and Lidl (Catonsville is lucky to have both!), the farmers market when in season and the Catonsville Co-op, Scittinos deli and Treuth's for meats, and the Breadery for baked goods.   We moved to Catonsville because it is so convenient for commuting to work in Baltimore and for traveling via BWI, but also close to natural areas like Patapsco State Park. It's the best of both worlds!       We love being close to Hillcrest Elementary, St. Mark Church/School, and the Catonsville Library. Everything we need is right in town, even our family doctor and pharmacy.
