A Farmhouse Fancy in Historic Ellicott City! The site of many a winter holiday celebration gathering and oh, so many summer garden parties, this rare beauty provides the balance between house and property that few can match. From its covered and wrap-around front porch to its massive rear deck and lush 1.7-acre fenced landscape, thought, care, and attention are evident. Four finished interior levels provide abundance and versatility with decades of family history and countless hours of tender loving care and improvement beaming from room to room. A chef’s kitchen sparkles with updated features, including quartz counters, glass cabinetry, and stainless-steel appliances. Each bathroom has been touched with specialty fixtures, millwork, and tile. An open main level floor plan makes entertaining a breeze, while a quaint enclosed porch provides intimacy. Each of the home’s five bedrooms is spacious and offers morning or afternoon sun. A second-floor laundry center and a third-floor office with a wet bar are among the pleasant floor plan surprises, and a finished ground-floor suite highlighted by a cozy family room, den, bedroom, and full bathroom make this home full of opportunity. Add partially covered and open brick patios,a screened porch, an outdoor shower, a hot tub, a pergola, and a detached two-car garage along with updated home systems, including a recent furnace and water heater, and this home is sure to bring your five-star review!
