The past year taught us to value extra space, and this home has it! It's over 3,000 square feet, not counting the basement. In 2011 an addition to the classic colonial created a large primary bedroom suite upstairs (bedroom, bath, dressing room with laundry) and a family room and home office on the main level. The family room part of the addition is a large, inviting, sun-filled room with big windows all around. And outside is a view of the nicely landscaped backyard, attractive slate patio, and a delightful, small fish pond. The updated kitchen is open to the family room. Immediately adjacent to the family room is a home office, and there's a large den off the living room. Considering that there's already the "social space" of the family room, the den might be used as a 4th bedroom or school room or 2nd office. The dining room has classic detailing--corner cupboards and a bay window. The traditional, generous-sized living room has a fireplace, and there's a powder room off a hallway. The basement is finished, and there's a third full bath on that level. For storage there's an attic that's accessed from a staircase in the right front bedroom closet.

University Park is a highly desirable neighborhood located along the Route One Corridor in Prince Georges County. Visually-appealing, well-maintained houses are trademarks of the neighborhood which maintains a quiet small-town feel while, at the same time, being in easy reach of public transportation, shopping, restaurants and entertainment. There is an active civic association which hosts the 4th of July parade, an annual chili cook-off, outdoor movie nights and other fun, yearly events. Families with young children appreciate that University Park Elementary is one of the top-rated schools in the county.
