7004 Southwark Terrace

This home is located in College Heights Estates, a highly desirable neighborhood of homes near the University of Maryland. It was custom built by Peter Wedderburn, a prominent local builder. The classic, quality craftsmanship is apparent in the home’s exceptional stone front. Mature trees and plantings frame the house; and a stone walkway leads to an entry porch which has a copper roof. Sunlight pours through the large windows of the living and dining rooms; highlighting gleaming oak floors, crown molding, and wainscoting. The roomy kitchen has space for a large table and features cherry cabinets, quartz countertops, and new stainless appliances. The adjacent family room has a raised hearth fireplace. It also provides access to a gorgeous enclosed porch that was added in 2012. The porch’s cathedral ceiling and large windows make it feel like being outside. There’s a laundry room near the kitchen and a powder room that is accessed from the home’s central hall. Upstairs there are three bedrooms and two bath. The primary bedroom has its own bath and two walk-in closets. The finished lower level has a Rec’ room area, bedroom, full bath, and a caterer’s kitchen. It’s a great guest suite or maybe a quiet space for a couple of offices. Imagine the convenience of a stairway “commute” from home to work! Many features of the house are subtle–the feel of solid wooden doors, the convenience of coming into the house directly from the garage, the pleasure of knowing there’s no exterior painting, etc. At the house there’s a list of other features and substantial improvements and renovations that reflect long time care and pride of ownership.
