6912 Wells Pkwy

One of University Park's most iconic homes! Gracefully situated atop a rolling lawn on a .47-acre corner lot. A slate walkway leads you to the welcoming entry. Gorgeous hardwood oak floors throughout the main and upper level. Spacious living room with crown molding, a plate-glass window and a gas fireplace with mantel. An archway leads to the formal dining room with a classic brass chandelier and a wall of windows leading to the super-desirable screened porch with its slate flooring and arched openings. The spacious kitchen has a place for everything! Custom wood cabinets include spice, knife & wine racks, granite countertops, tile floors, a gas cooktop and a convection oven. There's plenty of room for a table or two in the adjacent breakfast room & nook. Bring the groceries straight in from the garage through the mudroom with its large panty - great for all those hard-to-fit items like your Costco purchases and Thanksgiving platters. The side-entry garage has a storage loft too! The primary bedroom is on the main level and has large windows, charming built-ins, a walk-in closet and an on-suite bath! An additional main level bedroom faces the backyard and has built-in bookcases. The renovated hall bath has a walk-in shower with a glass door. Upstairs we find 3 BIG bedrooms and a shared full bath. Lots of closets - there's oh-so-much storage including a trunk room plus access under the eaves. The attic holds the A/C system. While the main level is perfect for classic entertaining, the lower level is for family fun! The family room has a wood-burning fireplace, built-ins for display and storage, plus a bar. Let the games begin! Two additional paneled rooms include bookcases, great for home offices or hobby rooms. The unfinished area of the basement holds the utilities and laundry and walks out via stairs to the back yard. There's large shelving for all your sports equipment or camping gear! A gorgeous brick patio graces the backyard and is accessible through the breakfast room and mud room. Super-charming playhouse for your kids or grands. Beautifully planted lot with azaleas, hydrangeas. Magnolias, a red-leaf maple and glorious oaks provide much enjoyed summer shade! Fabulous location in the heart of University Park. Close to METRO & MARC trains, major commuter routes & the Flagship University of Maryland. Walk, bike or drive to Whole Foods, Trader Joes and lots of shops & restaurants along the Trolly Trail and Route 1. The words of a 1924 advertisement for the University Park development still ring true “…all the modern conveniences will be enjoyed in the perfect environment of gorgeous woodland, out of the whirl and bustle of Washington - and yet a scant thirty minutes from the city’s center.” You will truly love living here!
