Meticulously maintained by its original owners, this pristine brick-front colonial offers exceptional space, major improvements and is ideally situated on a 1/3 acre lot in sought after Ellicott City. Significant improvements include: a replaced roof (2013) with architectural shingles; an upgraded gas HVAC system (2017); four replaced sliding glass doors (2018); easy care composite deck (2021); two-car garage with painted walls and finished flooring (2019). The main floor features a striking two-story foyer, separate living room, dining room detailed with crown molding and chair rail, a private dedicated office, and a remodeled powder room (2016). The renovated kitchen, featuring granite counters and upgraded black stainless steel appliances opens to the bright family room with a warm gas fireplace and tall cathedral ceilings. Directly off the family room is a light-filled three-season sunroom addition with a gorgeous wood cathedral ceiling. Main-level mudroom includes a utility sink and front-loading laundry. Upstairs, you will find four spacious bedrooms and two fully renovated bathrooms (2016). The primary bedroom features cathedral ceilings and a walk-in closet. A stunning renovated primary bathroom (2016) features dual granite vanities, a soaking tub, a walk-in shower and extensive tile work. The finished walk-out lower level expands your options with an expansive recreation room centered around a gas stove fireplace, a third full bathroom, a wet bar with a mini refrigerator, a storage/utility room, and a separate gym that can easily function as a fifth bedroom. Outside, the fully fenced rear yard holds a low-maintenance composite deck (2021) with a hot tub. No required HOA fees and within easy walking distance of St. John's Lane Elementary and Mt. Hebron High School.
