A Classic Colonial with Fresh Updates in University Park
A home with classic character, practical updates, and a surprisingly spacious feel. Set on a quiet, tree-lined section of 44th Avenue, this 1938 Colonial combines the appeal of a traditional University Park home with the updates and flexibility that make everyday living easy.
Classic Character, Freshened Up
The home retains the character you want in a 1930s Colonial, including beautiful oak floors and a traditional floor plan. The entire interior has been freshly painted, and the upstairs oak floors have been newly refinished. New flooring in the foyer and kitchen gives these high-traffic spaces a fresh, updated feel.
A welcoming covered front entry, painted white brick, green shutters, and a red door give the home its classic curb appeal.
A Layout That Lives Well
The floor plan is traditional in the best way—defined rooms where you want them, with natural flow between key spaces.
A spacious living room, formal dining room, main-level office, and powder room create a functional main floor that supports both daily life and entertaining.
A Kitchen That Stands Out
The kitchen is one of the home’s best features—and it is larger than you typically find in University Park.
New stainless steel appliances, generous counter space, and abundant natural light make it both practical and inviting. A large sliding door provides a direct visual connection to the backyard and opens to the enclosed porch, creating an easy connection between the kitchen, indoor living space, and outdoors.
Flexible Enclosed Porch
Just beyond the kitchen, the enclosed porch adds valuable flexible space.
Use it as a seasonal sitting area or entertaining space or convert the space to a conditioned playroom, home office, or art studio. With its connection to the backyard, it becomes a natural extension of the main living areas.
Traditional Living Spaces
The main level includes a comfortable living room with a wood-burning fireplace and a formal dining room. The spacious foyer offers excellent potential as a mudroom or drop zone.
Upstairs are three bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The newly refinished oak floors add warmth and character throughout the upper level.
A Finished Basement + Plenty of Storage
The finished basement adds useful living space with new flooring and recessed lighting. It provides room for recreation, an office or hobby area, along with laundry and additional storage.
Storage is a real strength here. A large attic with pull-down stairs provides lots of additional storage, while the basement and large backyard shed offer even more room for everything that needs to be tucked away.
A Backyard with Room to Enjoy
The 7,080 SF lot is flat, private, and surrounded by mature landscaping. Spring brings blooming azaleas, while the brick patio creates a natural spot for outdoor entertaining.
The large shed provides substantial storage and workspace potential, making it especially useful for gardening, bikes, tools, and outdoor equipment.
Location That Delivers
Set in the heart of University Park—known for its tree-lined streets, strong community feel, and walkability.
~1 mile to Metro
Close to University of Maryland
Easy access to Baltimore Avenue dining and shops
Near neighborhood parks and local amenities
The Bottom Line
A classic University Park Colonial with a standout kitchen, beautiful oak floors, fresh interior updates, flexible living space, abundant storage, and a private backyard. It is a home with traditional character that has been thoughtfully refreshed—and one that lives larger than it looks..
