Beautifully Renovated Cape Cod in Linthicum Heights

Built in 1924 and thoughtfully renovated for modern living, this charming Cape Cod blends historic character with the comfort and convenience today’s homeowners appreciate.

As you approach the home, wide stone steps rise gently from the paver walkway, leading to a welcoming covered front porch that stretches across the front of the house. Supported by Craftsman-style columns and framed by a striking stone façade, the porch creates the perfect place to relax with a morning coffee or greet neighbors passing by. Dormer windows and a steeply pitched roof preserve the home’s classic Cape Cod charm while updated siding provides durability and easy maintenance.

Step inside and you are greeted by bright, open living spaces with 9-foot ceilings, recessed lighting, and elegant decorative moldings that give the home both warmth and architectural character. White plantation shutters filter natural light throughout the living areas, while hardwood flooring adds style and long term value. The living and dining areas flow effortlessly together, creating an inviting space for gathering with family or entertaining guests.

At the heart of the home, the beautifully updated kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a gas stove, and a stylish tile backsplash. The layout keeps the cook connected to the rest of the home, making everyday living and entertaining feel effortless.

The main level offers the ease of two bedrooms and a full bath, along with a convenient first-floor laundry area. Just beyond the main living space, a spacious new built addition opens up beneath a dramatic 12-foot vaulted ceiling, and a large Palladian window creating a comfortable retreat for movie nights, relaxing evenings, or casual gatherings.

Upstairs, the private half-story serves as a peaceful suite. This level includes a bedroom which features a cathedral ceiling, a cozy sitting area, along with a walk-in closet and a full bath finished with ceramic tile and plantation shutters, creating a quiet retreat tucked away from the main living areas.

The walkout basement adds flexibility to the home, offering an exercise room, a full bath, and a second laundry area. A large unfinished section provides a workshop and generous storage space for hobbies, tools, or seasonal items. Major system updates include a HVAC system, two mini-split systems (2023 & 2024), and a main-level heat pump (2020).

Outside, the property continues to impress. A newly paved driveway accommodates up to six vehicles, while the large fenced backyard includes a newly constructed shed and creates a private outdoor escape. A hardscape patio and fire pit provide the perfect setting for summer barbecues, relaxing afternoons, or cozy evenings under the stars.

Located in the Linthicum Heights, a well-established Anne Arundel County community known for its tree-lined streets and welcoming neighborhood feel, the home offers the best of both worlds: quiet suburban living with exceptional commuter convenience. Just minutes from Baltimore, Annapolis, and Washington, D.C., with easy access to I-695, I-95, MD-295, and I-97, the location is ideal for professionals and families alike. Residents also enjoy nearby parks, the scenic BWI Trail, local shops, restaurants, and shopping at Arundel Mills.

This is a home where historic charm, thoughtful updates, and a vibrant community come together to create a place that feels both timeless and inviting.
