Welcome to this exceptional brick-front estate nestled on a private one-acre homesite in one of Howard County's most sought-after communities. Backing to mature trees, this beautifully maintained residence offers a thoughtfully designed floor plan that effortlessly balances elegance, comfort, and functionality. A dramatic two-story foyer with an impressive oak and wrought iron staircase sets the tone, welcoming you into a home filled with rich hardwood flooring, soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, and timeless architectural details. At the heart of the home, the gourmet kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring cherry cabinetry, granite countertops, updated stainless steel appliances, gas cooking, a large center island, and a spacious breakfast area that flows seamlessly into the sunroom overlooking the picturesque backyard. The adjacent two-story family room is equally impressive, highlighted by a gas fireplace and dramatic walls of windows that frame the surrounding landscape and flood the space with natural light. Perfectly positioned between the kitchen and formal dining room, a well-appointed butler's pantry with a beverage refrigerator enhances both convenience and entertaining. Formal living and dining rooms provide elegant spaces for hosting family and friends, while a main-level bedroom and full bath offer exceptional flexibility for guests, multi-generational living, an au pair suite, or a private home office. Just off the side-entry three-car garage, a custom mudroom with built-in storage creates the perfect everyday drop zone, while the adjacent main-level laundry room adds an extra level of convenience. Upstairs, the owner's retreat lives like a private wing of the home, featuring a spacious primary suite with two oversized walk-in closets, a luxurious spa-inspired bath, and two separate sitting areas that offer endless possibilities for a home office, reading lounge, fitness space, nursery, dressing room, or additional living area. The secondary bedroom layout is equally impressive, with two generously sized bedrooms connected by a beautifully designed Jack-and-Jill bath, while a third bedroom enjoys the privacy of its own ensuite bath, creating the perfect princess suite or guest retreat. The fully finished walkout lower level continues to impress with a spacious recreation area, wet bar, additional bedroom and full bath, and a large flex room perfectly suited for a theater room, fitness studio, home office, hobby space, or playroom. Exterior walkout stairs provide convenient access to the backyard and seamlessly connect the lower level to the home's outdoor living spaces. Step outside and discover your own private retreat, where extensive landscaping, elegant hardscaping, bluestone patios, composite decking, and a stunning screened gazebo create an outdoor setting that is every bit as impressive as the interior. Whether enjoying a quiet morning coffee, hosting gatherings with family and friends, or simply unwinding after a long day, the outdoor spaces offer exceptional privacy and tranquility.
