Live your best life in Historic Ellicott City! Originally conceived as a hillside cottage known as “Angivena,” this iconic home was thoughtfully established just beyond the thriving mill town of historic Ellicott City in the late 1800s. Over generations, the home evolved alongside the changing lifestyles of the families who called it home, with a series of significant additions and renovations reflecting the architectural character and living patterns of their respective eras. Today, the property presents a warm and versatile blend of contemporary comfort, Colonial influence, and covered-porch Victorian charm. Designed to accommodate growing, combining, and multi-generational households, the residence offers an adaptable floor plan rich with character and possibility. The second level features three bedrooms with hardwood flooring and two full bathrooms arranged across separate wings of the home. One wing includes two bedrooms served by a private staircase and full bath, while a separate wing offers an additional bedroom paired with its own sitting room and dedicated full bath, creating privacy and flexibility for guests or extended family living. A desirable main-level bedroom or office suite with an en-suite full bath provides ideal accommodations for one-level living, guest quarters, or work-from-home functionality. Adding even greater versatility, the detached garage is topped by a spacious loft apartment complete with a full bathroom, kitchenette, soaring ceilings, and modern windows—perfect for an au pair suite, in-law residence, guest retreat, studio, or private office. The main level gracefully blends preserved elements from the home’s earliest beginnings with its later additions. A formal dining room and updated kitchen with wood cabinetry and a sun-filled breakfast nook anchor one side of the home, while a formal living room and guest suite balance the opposite wing. Throughout, the home maintains an inviting atmosphere that celebrates its layered architectural story. Outdoor living is equally compelling, highlighted by an expansive slate patio framed by mature trees and natural surroundings. A covered walkway connects the main residence to the detached garage and loft apartment, enhancing both function and charm. Warm, welcoming, and remarkably flexible, this special property offers a rare opportunity to own a home that has gracefully adapted through generations while remaining deeply connected to the historic character of Ellicott City. Conveniently located within walking distance to the historic district’s celebrated shops, restaurants, and community events.
