3565 Towanda Drive

One of the coolest houses in College Park! This historic landmark is only 10 minutes from the airport with a double lot, beautiful park-like landscaping, and extraordinarily large rooms with 11’ ceilings. Named Red Oak Manor, this home has occupied the same basement since 1863 & the same main floor footprint since 1910 when the structure was rebuilt! The original building materials and craftsmanship of the structure remain unaltered and are easily viewable today. The original stacked stone foundation and the stacked stone basement walls ensure this building will survive another 160 years. The front portico entrance is reminiscent of the front portico of the White House. It has a really large concrete patio. A Grand foyer with customized wall features. Huge living room with stone stack fireplace. Formal dining room that easily seats 12. Great flow for entertaining from kitchen to dining room to living room. Gleaming, original hardwood floors and doors dating back to 1910. Separate study with built-in book cases. Oversized master bedroom with a custom master bath and a tile walk-in shower. Walk-in cedar lined master closet. The 2nd bedroom and full bath comes with a tub/shower combo on the main. Kitchen has custom built cabinets, stainless steel appliances including a 5 burner gas range, breakfast nook and huge walk-in pantry. There is a partially finished, daylight basement that has a bedroom, workout room, laundry (with a laundry chute) with workbench. There is a mud porch off the driveway with a patio out back. Huge professionally and pristine landscaped corner, double lot with the highest elevation in the area. New roof of 60 ml TPO Fleece Backed Membrane with a 20-year transferable warranty; new custom downspouts, all new gutters, interior and exterior freshly painted. Newly refurbished original 1910 iron railing. Upgraded electric circuit boxes, and outlets with breakers. Critter free transferable warranty. The original design from 1910 can be seen throughout the home and repairs have maintained its authenticity. This is a true one-of-a-kind southern home!
