Last fall, I had the pleasure of photographing a beautifully updated townhouse nestled in a quiet, tree-lined neighborhood in Beltsville, Maryland. With 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, and 1,580 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, this home strikes the perfect balance between classic charm and modern sophistication.

As you step inside, you're welcomed by a warm and inviting living room where gleaming hardwood floors stretch across the main level. Soft gray walls, paired with crisp white chair rail molding, create a calm, elegant atmosphere that instantly feels like home.

The living room flows into a separate dining area and kitchen, each space distinct yet connected in a way that feels natural and functional. The kitchen is a true highlight—smartly designed with white quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and high-end cabinetry. Though compact, it’s efficient and stylish, offering plenty of storage along with additional seating at the counter. For anyone who enjoys entertaining or simply unwinding at the end of the day, the mini wine refrigerator adds a nice touch of luxury.

Upstairs, you'll find the primary bedroom along with three additional bedrooms. The primary suite features three large picture windows that flood the room with natural light, creating a peaceful and inviting retreat. The attached bathroom is particularly striking, with eye-catching copper fixtures, a new vanity, and a beautifully tiled shower backsplash. It’s a space that feels both stylish and relaxing.

The lower level continues the home’s polished look with hardwood flooring, freshly painted gray walls, and a versatile layout. Whether you’re setting up a home office, creating a cozy media room, or carving out a quiet reading nook, this basement offers plenty of options to make it your own.

This townhouse was a pleasure to photograph, with so many thoughtful details and beautifully finished spaces.
