809 Tred Avon Road, Baltimore, MD 21212

About this 3 bedroom 3 bath house

Some addresses never need an introduction. 809 Tred Avon sits steps from the pool and the school, a 1938 classic offering three bedrooms, two and a half baths, and 1,911 square feet above grade. Behind the painted brick and stone facade, twin bay windows flank a classic navy front door beneath a slate roof, and the interior delivers the details that era is loved for: arched doorways, crown molding, gleaming hardwood floors, and a living room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace with a dentil mantel. The formal dining room features a chair rail and its own bay window, a charming breakfast nook wears original knotty pine trim, and a bright sunroom overlooks the rear yard. A finished lower level adds a recreation room with recessed lighting and built-in shelving, along with laundry and workshop space, and a finished attic offers flexible bonus space above. Upstairs, the generous primary bedroom offers double closets and a private bath updated in 2018. A second full bath with knotty pine wainscoting serves the additional bedrooms. The home has spent the summer being readied the right way: fresh exterior paint, masonry repointing, refreshed ceilings, repaired patio and walkway, and professional staging throughout. The big-ticket items are handled as well, with a Roland Slate roof, furnace, and hot water heater all replaced in 2016. The roof work qualified for the historic tax credit and the documentation conveys, a meaningful benefit for buyers planning updates of their own. If you love to swim, there is no better address.
