OFFER DEADLINE, MONDAY, 8/25 at 12 NOON! Please be sure to head to Liter Court, not Liter Drive- you’ll pass Liter Drive first before reaching Liter Court. Welcome to this classic ranch home, set on a quiet cul-de-sac in one of Ellicott City’s most desirable communities. Perfectly situated on a corner lot spanning over half an acre, the property offers both space and privacy while maintaining close proximity to everything you need. A charming covered front porch invites you to step inside and discover the thoughtful layout within. The main level begins with a spacious living room, where a large picture window frames serene views and fills the space with natural light. The adjoining dining room, accented by chair railing, leads seamlessly into the kitchen. Here, 42-inch cabinetry, upgraded counters, and a gas range provide the perfect combination of style and function. Just beyond, a bright family room addition creates a welcoming retreat, complete with its own entrance from the carport and access to the rear deck, surrounded by windows to enjoy views year-round. Down the hall, the private wing features the primary bedroom with an attached half bath, two additional bedrooms, and a full hall bath. Hardwood floors are tucked beneath the carpet, ready to be revealed. The lower level offers an abundance of living and entertaining space. A recreation room highlights a corner fireplace with a handsome stone surround and a beautiful wood bar, ideal for gatherings. A bonus room and an attached full bath provides flexibility for guests or a home office, while walkout stairs lead to the backyard. The level is completed by a utility room with laundry and ample storage. Step outside to enjoy the expansive rear deck with durable vinyl railings, overlooking the spacious lot. A whole house generator adds peace of mind, while two-zone heating ensures year-round comfort. The addition, completed in 2008, enhances the home’s functionality and appeal. The location is equally impressive. Just steps away, the 21-acre Cypressmede Park offers a baseball field, basketball and tennis courts, a playground, and winding nature trails. Highly rated schools, shopping, recreation centers, and the local library are all within easy reach, while major roadways provide quick access to BWI, Baltimore, and Washington, DC. This inviting home combines comfort, convenience, and timeless appeal in an exceptional setting. Please note: photos depicting furniture have utilized virtual staging.
