Mornings in Hamilton Heights/Lauraville start a few blocks away, with coffee from Zeke's and a browse through Snug Books right next door. Then home to a 1923 bungalow that has been updated and cared for the whole way through: hardwood floors, crown molding, and windows that pull light into every room. The kitchen is fully updated, with an island, upgraded counters, a gas range, and room to cook for a crowd. The formal dining room is right there when dinner turns into an occasion. All three baths are updated too, one including a soaking tub/shower and the others with walk-in or separate stall shower. Here is what the photos undersell: a bedroom and a full, updated bath on the main level. Guest suite, home office, or everyday one-level living, the choice is yours. Two more bedrooms upstairs, and a finished lower level with its own rear entrance, give you plenty of room to spread out. Outside, the 0.22-acre lot is landscaped front and back, with a deck and patio for long evenings, a detached garage, and generous driveway parking. Then there is the location. Sitting equidistant from Perring Parkway and Harford Road, the Beltway and the city center are both an easy decision. Lake Montebello, Mount Pleasant Golf Course, and the Mount Pleasant Ice Arena are minutes away, and dinner at Maggie's Farm or Koco's is closer still. Or find your own neighborhood gems - there's plenty to choose! 2505 Ailsa is ready for its next chapter. Bring the coffee. We will leave the porch light on.
