The condo is located in Odenton’s Town Center Commons community, which was built a few years ago directly adjacent to the MARC Commuter Rail Station in Odenton. Within two minutes, the couple can board a commuter train to Union Station in the heart of Washington, D.C. or to Baltimore’s Penn Station. In addition, the U.S. military’s Fort Meade – one of the state’s largest employers -- is located just a five-minute drive from their new home.

The couple’s new condo is a real stunner – the builder’s model home, in fact. It features all of the premium upgrades the builder was offering, including a kitchen with Wyoming Cherry Spice cabinets, a tasteful tile backsplash, under-cabinet lighting, stainless steel appliances and sleek granite counters. The main level of the home offers hardwood flooring and a wide-open entertaining area. The upper level of the home includes plush carpeting, an expansive primary bedroom with a tray ceiling, and a primary bath with a deep soaking tub and a double sink vanity.
