What street presence! Siting above the road level on a one third acre lot makes an impressive setting. There's so much to like about this house! First--notice that it has that solid feel of a well-built, custom home. You may initially think it's not a very big custom home--but you'll be amazed at the wealth of space. It's especially evident when you look at the back of the house. It's two full- height levels above ground. The rooms are filled with light, showcasing freshly painted walls and refinished oak floors throughout. The flow of space is more open than in many of the homes of this eraa generously-sized living room open to the dining area, which is open to a comfortable family room. Both the living room and family room have a fireplace, and theres a convenient main level powder room and a laundry room. The roomy kitchen, with space for a table, features new stainless kitchen appliances. Nicely private and somewhat separate from the rest of the main level are two bedrooms and a full bath (great for one level living) or maybe two quiet offices and a full bath. Upstairs are bedrooms three and four, a full bath, and an ENORMOUS bonus room. This sunny space could be used to create a huge master suite, play room, or whatever you'd like. The basement level features a recreation room with a wet bar and a utility area. The basement dcor may be a little old-fashioned, but the systems in the utility room are not! The furnace, air conditioning unit, and the water heater (including a new flue lining) were recently replaced. While these are not glamorous features, a new owner will not need to replace these substantial and costly items for a long time.

University Park is a highly desirable neighborhood located along the Route One Corridor in Prince Georges County. The impressive tree canopy and visually-appealing, well-maintained houses are trademarks of the community. Theres a quiet, small town feel yet easy access to public transportation (Metro, MARC train) and major travel routes. New and continuing development in the area provides shopping, restaurants, and entertainment. A lovely Town park with walking paths along a quiet creek and an all-ages play area are fun places to relax. An active civic association hosts the 4th of July parade, a chili cook-off, Porch Fest, outdoor movie nights, and other fun events. Families with young children appreciate that University Park Elementary is one of the top-rated schools in the county.
