Rare chance to own in Cottage Grove, where homes rarely come up for sale because people truly enjoy living here. This move-in ready 3 bedroom, 2 bath home has been well cared for and thoughtfully updated. The main level offers an open living and dining combination with a fireplace, an updated kitchen (2023) with modern cabinetry, countertops, and appliances, and a slider leading to the Trex deck (approx. 6 years), vinyl fenced and landscaped backyard, private hot tub, trellis (approx. 3 years), fire pit area, and storage shed. All three bedrooms are on the upper level, including the vaulted primary suite with a full tile bath and newer carpet (2022), along with an updated hall bath and two additional bedrooms. The finished lower level provides a comfortable rec room with a bar area and laundry. Roof and leaf gutter guards were replaced in 2021, and the HVAC was updated in 2023. Smart home features include an ADT smart system (new owner may assume), smart HVAC and hot water controls, and a Ring camera. The one-car garage offers flexible storage or workspace options. Cottage Grove offers community water access and a convenient location close to Ft. Meade, BWI Airport, Arundel Mills, and an easy commute to Baltimore, Annapolis, and Washington DC.
