TRUE ONE LEVEL LIVING: Beautifully renovated rancher with a fully remodeled kitchen, newly updated bathrooms, and luxury flooring throughout. The full 2000 square feet of living space is on the same level. No stairs. No basement laundry room.
ALL THE WORK HAS BEEN DONE: The entire HVAC system was replaced in 2024 with a zoned high efficiency heat pump system that includes all new ducting, filming of the double paned windows, and insulation of the attic to create a conditioned storage space. Coupled with new copper wiring throughout the house, this system has reduced the monthly energy bills dramatically. This Howard County home is served by public water and sewer, and features 200 AMP electrical service that is suitable for solar.
LIVING ROOM / DINING ROOM: Full of natural light from two walls of windows, this open-concept floor plan showcases the wide plank hardwood flooring and soothing neutral color palette. The living room features a ceiling fan for the summer, and a functioning wood stove to make the large room cozy in the winter.
KITCHEN: The kitchen includes soft-close cabinets with inserts, stainless steel appliances, Silver Waves granite countertops, a large prep table that doubles as a movable island, and a professional steel storage system. The stove has induction burners for safety and efficiency, and a double door system that allows you to convert it into two separate ovens.
BATHROOMS: Both bathrooms have been upgraded with modern luxuries like the thermostatically controlled constant temperature shower in the primary ensuite, and a deep soaking tub in the hall bath.
BEDROOMS: The large primary bedroom features an ensuite bath, luxury carpeting, and a California closet system. The second and third bedrooms have upgraded closets and hardwood flooring. The primary bedroom is pre-wired for a ceiling fan.
STUDIO: This room was added to the house to provide a flexible living space. The room is fully insulated and has its own HVAC system. It is currently configured as a family room and bunk room for the grandchildren. With the outside entrance, and the security door separating it from the rest of the house, this room would make a great bedroom/studio, guest suite or home office.
BACKYARD: The slider in the kitchen leads to a 12’ X 30’ paver patio, and a landscaped fenced backyard with mature trees. There is a railing system and lockable gate in the back fence that gives direct access to the pathways, basketball court & playing field.
ALL THE BENEFITS OF LIVING IN COLUMBIA: The home is ideally located near Wilde Lake and Centennial Parks, with easy access to miles of paved walking, running, and biking paths. The Merriweather District and downtown Columbia provide abundant shopping, dining, and entertainment options. Join us for the Open House on 5/9 from 1-3 PM.
