Rare opportunity in coveted Grace-Lyn Manor — a distinguished Custom Brick Colonial set on a gorgeous, flat 1.12-acre lot where timeless craftsmanship meets head-to-toe, move-in-ready luxury. 2521 Karen Way stands apart from every other home on the market: substantial all-brick facade, three finished levels including a full basement with exit, and an ownership team that has invested heavily and thoughtfully in every major system and finish since 2019. This is the home that discerning buyers wait years to find.
Step inside and the open floor plan immediately impresses — Wide plank hardwood like floors anchor the main level while a spacious kitchen with a large center island invites both everyday living and effortless entertaining. The kitchen is equipped with a whole-home reverse osmosis water filtration system at the sink and the refrigerator, delivering pure, clean water on demand. The adjacent dining and living rooms feature elegant crown molding and chair railings, and a dramatic fireplace with glass doors and custom mantel creates a warm, refined focal point. Need a dedicated workspace? The home office with French doors offers the privacy and polish that todays buyer demands.
Every major upgrade has already been done for you. The sellers have spared no expense: a new HVAC system, new hot water heater, new pressure tank (well system), and a septic system pumped and fully serviced ensure complete peace of mind. The exterior transformation is equally impressive — new siding, new shutters, and a widened driveway create striking curb appeal, while refreshed landscaping frames the property beautifully. New carpet has been installed in the family room, and new hardwood laminate flooring delivers a fresh, sophisticated look on the main level. And the roof? A 50-year architectural roof installed in 2015 — just approximately 10 years old with more than 40 years of life remaining — is the kind of asset that home inspectors and buyers alike celebrate.
Upstairs, the primary suite is a true retreat: cathedral ceilings soar overhead, a generous walk-in closet satisfies even the most demanding wardrobe, and the private en-suite bath provides a spa-like escape. Three additional bedrooms share a well-appointed full bath, and the bedroom-level laundry — rare in this price range — eliminates the daily stair trek that plagues so many homes. The basement spans the entire footprint of the home, offering unlimited potential for a recreation room, home gym, the band, or additional finished living space.
Outside, the maintenance-free oversized deck and paver patio with outdoor lighting create an al fresco living experience perfectly suited to the flat, private 1.12-acre backyard. A storage shed adds practical utility, and the side-facing two-car attached garage completes the picture of a home that has everything. Two-hundred-plus-amp electric service, double-pane vinyl-clad windows, recessed lighting, ceiling fans, and a bay window with a motorized shade feature to block the afternoon sun round out a feature list that is genuinely difficult to match at this price point.
Located in the highly sought Grace-Lyn Manor neighborhood, residents enjoy proximity to Deer Park fields and walking paths — Westminster living at its finest. Zoned for top-performing schools including Mechanicsville Elementary (rated A-), Westminster West Middle, and Westminster High, the location is as strong as the home itself. And with no HOA fees or restrictions, your freedom comes standard.
The Westminster market is extraordinarily competitive — homes are going under contract in an average of just seven days, and nearly half of all homes sell above asking price.
At $749,000, this exceptional Brick Colonial with 1.12 acres, all-new mechanical systems, and a 40-plus-year roof represents genuine, documentable value. Showings are expected to fill immediately — schedule yours today and bring your best offer.
