Nestled in the quiet tones of Cedarbrook/Mt. Airy, 8035 Gilbert St is a mid-century single-family home built in 1950, offering about 1,527 sq ft across four bedrooms and 2.5 bath—an honest, solid footprint that already works. This house welcomes residents with a clean, move-in ready feel; imagine afternoon light flooding through a large front bay window or lingering in the hallway before heading out. Families will find nearby schools—from Franklin S. Edmonds Elementary to Martin Luther King High—just a short drive away, with St. Raymond of Penafort Catholic School offering a private alternative. Need a breather? There's green nearby—Mermaid Park is only a few minutes away, giving you courtyard space without the upkeep (or the traffic). Road access and public transit are practical without being dramatic—the neighborhood feels rooted, not stuck. Everyday errands are short, and you won’t be stuck waiting for a train every morning. At its core, 8035 Gilbert St offers a quiet canvas: solid, familiar, and ready for someone to bring a fresh storyline. Some paint, your own style, maybe an update or two—and this mid-century gem could become something quietly elegant.
This home features a beautifully landscaped, fenced front yard in a tranquil neighborhood. It includes a mostly finished basement, with one half bath and a full ensuite bathroom on the first floor, and another full bathroom on the second floor. Some...
