436 Rivendell Ln

"I think I'll go for a walk outside now, the summer sun's calling my name. I just can't stay inside all day, I gotta get out, get me some of those rays...it's a sunshine day." If you live at 436 Rivendell Lane, you hear that Brady Bunch anthem in your sleep. It is ALWAYS a sunshine day here! Step inside this contemporary rancher and you are greeted by its light n' bright airy charm along with views of the pool and sprawling backyard from every window. This home underwent a complete renovation on the main level in 2017 and the end result is a fantastic open floorplan, with no space wasted.  The open kitchen sits in the center of this great room layout and is the heart of the home. It is flanked with windows and a massive island that invites you to sit, have a drink and hang out. Off the kitchen to the left side is the cozy dining room with a stone wood burning fireplace tucked into it. On the other side, a sunken family room with vaulted ceilings, gas fireplace and a perfectly located wet bar. Glass sliding doors connect both sides of the house to a central outdoor covered back porch that allows for completely seamless indoor/outdoor entertaining. This house was made to have fun in!   The main level features three bedrooms and two and a half baths allowing for one level living. The primary suite is located on one side of the house away from the other wing of bedrooms. The finished basement has a spacious rec room along with full bathroom, office and bonus room that is the perfect spot for when company comes to stay.  The real show stopper of the house though is the backyard. Set on more than a half acre lot, It's everything that backyard dreams are made of. Fully fenced, flat, and sprawling with a heated kidney shaped pool and spa and a gracious patio surrounding it. Ahem, it has a diving board!!! Set in the back, there is plenty of grassy space to play a game of lacrosse or cornhole and not interrupt the pool party on the patio.   The owners have made many improvements to the house in recent years. The main level was renovated in 2017 removing walls and reconfiguring the layout, complete with kitchen remodel. The two full bathrooms on the main level were redone in 2021 as well as the windows, sliding doors, exterior doors and house siding that same year. THe HVAC unit was replaced, along with the roof, and skylights in 2023. The pool heater and diving board were replaced in 2024. Do I hear a resounding heck yeah?   This house is centrally located in good old Severna Park, in walking distance to the high school, shopping and the water access for the neighborhood. If you are looking for a happy home and love the sunshine, this is the house for you!
