Tucked into the wooded hillsides of historic Oella, where mill-town charm meets the Patapsco, 2601 Westchester Avenue is a property that has been loved by a single family for three generations ready for its next chapter. Five years ago, the navy-clad cottage was taken down to its bones and reimagined as a three-bedroom, two-bath retreat. Inside, the kitchen anchors the main level with a center island, and stainless appliances, opening to sun-filled living space. A finished basement adds the flexible room for guests (potential separate living quarters with outside entrance), a family room, or home office. Outside, almost half an acre unfolds under the tree canopy, with a deck and ramped entry built for slow Saturday mornings and golden-hour suppers under the sky. Aerial views capture the home's setting perfectly — leafy, private, and minutes from the shops of Ellicott City's Main Street to Trolley Line #9 Trail, and beyond. Three generations rarely let go of a place like this. Here's your opportunity to call Oella home.
