19 W MAGNOLIA AVE Hagerstown, MD 21742

Welcome home! Some homes have a story to tell and some homes, just have a little more character, and 19 W. Magnolia Ave. is definitely one of them. This renovated Sears Avondale Craftsman offers 5 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, plenty of original details, and an amount of storage that's hard to find in a home of this age.
One of the first things you'll notice is the large covered front porch—a classic feature of Craftsman-style homes. With its wide, welcoming design and custom handcrafted railings on the porch and front steps, it's not just great curb appeal, but a space meant to be used. There's plenty of room to sit, relax, and enjoy the beautifully landscaped front yard and hardscaping.

Inside, the main level features a spacious living room and dining room with original built-in window bench seating. The updated kitchen makes great use of its space with tons of cabinetry and countertop space, while the walk-in pantry has even more cabinetry and countertops for small appliances, kitchen storage, and all the extras. Also on the main level are two large bedrooms and a full bath with a custom-tiled walk-in shower and heated bathroom floor.

Upstairs you'll find three additional bedrooms, beautiful Ambrosia Maple hardwood floors, and another full bath with a heated tile floor. The bathroom also retains some of the home's original “poor man's tile,” adding another unique piece of its early character. The rear bedroom opens to its own private balcony, a great spot to relax and enjoy some fresh air.

The partially finished basement offers flexible space for a playroom, home gym, workshop or storage and includes a convenient half bath. There's even a little piece of the home's history still there—the original soap holder carved into the masonry.

What really makes this home stand out is the character you'll find throughout, including original exposed ceiling beams, transom windows, beautiful woodwork, and custom moldings. These details have been kept while the home has been thoughtfully renovated and updated for today.

Out back, the open rear yard gives you plenty of room for play, entertaining, or gardening. The detached one-car garage off the rear alley works equally well for parking, a workshop, hobbies, or extra storage.
This home has clearly been loved and cared for, with renovations that make it comfortable today while keeping the character that made it special in the first place.
