2210 Pleasant View Avenue

Park-like and private, this 1938 Catonsville cottage sits at the top of a hill on 0.42 acres backing to woods, with a creekbed winding through the property and the Trolley Trail just steps away. Ready for renovation and priced accordingly, its an opportunity to restore a home with character in a setting that feels tucked away while keeping some of the best of Catonsville and Oella close at hand. Offering 3 bedrooms, 1 full bath, 1,224 finished square feet, and driveway parking for 3 vehicles, the home retains plenty of its vintage charm. A huge covered front porch stretches across the front of the home, while inside, hardwood floors and a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace anchor the living room. A main-level bedroom sits just off the living room, with the dining room, full bath, and kitchen completing this level. Built-in shelving between the dining room and kitchen provides useful pantry storage. Upstairs, two bedrooms feature hardwood floors with eave storage. The unfinished lower level offers laundry, utilities, storage, and exterior access. Several important improvements have already been made, including a replacement roof, new oil tank (2025), new water heater, and boiler updates including a new circulator pump and replacement burner. The boiler has also been serviced annually. Outside, the expansive lot offers plenty of space to enjoy the peaceful surroundings, with mature trees, woods, and frequent visits from local wildlife. And when youre ready to venture out, leave the car in the driveway. The Breadery, Jay's Country Store, Trueth's Butcher Shop, and Benjamin Banneker Historical Park & Museum are just steps away along with the Trolley Trail, while Patapsco Valley State Park, Historic Ellicott City, and downtown Catonsville are all close at hand. Convenient access to I-70 and I-695 makes it easy to get beyond the neighborhood, too. Offered as-is, this charming Catonsville cottage is a worthwhile restoration project in an undeniably special setting.
