    ***Offer Deadline is set for Tuesday Feb 17 at 5pm*** Exceptional Properties. Exceptional Clients. Welcome to 4280 Coattail Court in the sought-after community of Dorsey Hall—where space, updates, and location come together in the heart of Ellicott City. Tucked away on a private cul-de-sac and set on a beautiful half-acre lot backing directly to the scenic Columbia Association walking pathways, this 5-bedroom, 2 full bath, 2 half bath Colonial offers the perfect blend of privacy and convenience. Step inside to find a beautifully remodeled kitchen (2024) designed for both everyday living and entertaining - featuring beautiful counter tops, and new stainless steel Café Appliances. Brand new flooring throughout the first and second floors adds a fresh, modern feel, while the traditional Colonial layout provides comfortable and functional living spaces. Upstairs, you’ll find five generously sized bedrooms and two full baths offering flexibility for family, guests, or home office needs. The finished basement expands your living space even further with a large recreation area and an over-sized laundry room with plenty of storage. Major updates bring peace of mind, including a roof replaced in December 2020, leaf-filtering gutters (2019), hot water heater (2018), and a dual-zone HVAC system with the lower zone replaced in 2018 and the upper zone in 2023. Out back, enjoy your own private retreat on the expansive deck—complete with an included hot tub—overlooking the serene, tree-lined yard and direct access to miles of walking paths. This is a rare opportunity to own a spacious, updated home in one of Howard County’s most desirable communities—close to shopping, dining, top-rated schools, and commuter routes, yet peacefully tucked away.
