8915 TRAPPER LN Adelphi, MD 20783

Available for the first time since it was built in 1988, this one-owner home has been loved and maintained with care. The property backs to Buck Lodge Community Park, and the wooded setting extends to the left of the house as well, as it is the last home on the street. A front porch provides space for a comfortable chair and a sheltered entrance. Step inside to a traditional colonial floor plan, with a front hall, coat closet and plenty of space for a shoe rack or umbrella stand. The living room is to the left, with a working fireplace and front windows overlooking the big, sunny front yard. Behind the living room, a formal dining room offers plenty of space for family gatherings. A door opens from the dining room onto the kitchen, which is the heart of this home. Ceramic tile, traditional oak cabinets, a double sink, and updated white appliances including a smooth-top stove create a warm, welcoming atmosphere and offer the home cook a roomy, practical layout with plenty of storage. The room is big enough for comfortable family meals, and the upgraded sliding glass doors onto the deck make it a bright, inviting space. The deck is wonderful! This two-level oasis of calm offers plenty of room for outside dining, visiting and relaxing. A short flight of stairs down from the deck leads to the big, flat, sunny back yard. This property is unique in that it is surrounded by trees on two sides, and yet it has plenty of sun for gardening and outdoor fun. A large Amish-built wooden shed will convey with the property, offering garden tool storage and plenty of space for grills and accessories, croquet and cornhole sets, kids' sports equipment, you name it. Back inside, there are three bedrooms and two baths upstairs, including a very generous primary bedroom--in most colonial floor plans this space would have been broken up into two smaller bedrooms. Here, though, the primary bedroom extends almost all the way across the back of the upstairs. The primary bath with shower was recently updated, and a door leads out to a private deck of its own, perfect for morning coffee, birdwatching, relaxing after a long day. Finally, a flight of stairs from the kitchen leads to the full, finished basement. With plenty of room for movie night or gaming, the lower level has a storage room with roughed-in plumbing for another bathroom. A laundry room includes plenty of counter space and cabinet storage, and an exterior door provides back yard access. The one-car garage has even more storage space conveniently accessed from the kitchen. This property is ready to be the forever home for its next lucky owners.
