Welcome home to this charming brick Cape Cod nestled on a beautifully landscaped ¾-acre lot in one of Sykesville's most desirable locations. Offering 5 bedrooms, 2 full and 1 half baths, over 2,500 square feet of finished living space, and a detached 2-car garage, this home combines timeless character with thoughtful updates throughout. Step inside to discover warm hardwood floors, inviting living spaces, and a beautifully updated kitchen featuring 42-inch cabinetry, wood countertops, stainless steel appliances, and an electric cooktop. The spacious living room is highlighted by a cozy wood-burning fireplace, while the adjoining sunroom provides the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee or unwind while overlooking the spectacular backyard. The flexible floor plan includes multiple bedrooms on the main and upper levels, with a finished lower level offering a large recreation room, additional bedroom or home office, half bath, abundant storage, and endless possibilities for guests, hobbies, or entertaining. Outside is where this property truly shines. The private, fenced backyard offers mature landscaping, room to play, entertain, or garden, and creates a peaceful retreat that's difficult to find. Enjoy evenings on the deck, relax in the sunroom, or take in the beautiful sunsets from the welcoming front porch. Major improvements provide peace of mind, including a new HVAC system (2025), new furnace (2025), hot water heater (2023), chimney relined (2025), radon mitigation system, and 200-amp electrical service. Conveniently located just minutes from downtown Sykesville's shops, restaurants, parks, and commuter routes, this is the perfect blend of classic charm, modern updates, and everyday functionality.
The purpose of the R-10,000 District is primarily to provide a location within the designated growth areas for smaller lot sizes, generally a minimum of 10,000 sq ft for single and two-family dwellings, and multi-family dwellings when included in a planned unit development. The area should be served with public water and public sewerage facilities. The district would generally coincide with areas designated for high-density residential development in the Master Plan
