I am so honored to present this extraordinary property! It is a Classic Columbia Contemporary, that has been completely updated. The seller has spent over $400,000 on improvements since he purchased it! The architecture is so thoughtful -- It is dramatic and elegant, but also warm and easy to live in. The sellers added a wonderful addition that comprises an entry room with storage, and a lovely bridge-breezeway to a two car garage with built-in EV chargers. They renovated most of the spaces top to bottom, replacing the kitchen, bathrooms, and installing warm cherry wood floors and smart lighting throughout. It offers sleek architectural lines and large windows that flood the interior with natural light. Nestled on a . 46 acre lot backing to open space, there are gorgeous views from every window. The open-concept layout creates a spacious feel, but the rooms are human sized, and made for living…don’t miss the adorable ladder from the family room to the loft bedroom/office upstairs! Backing to woods and open space, the home provides a tranquil retreat with scenic views and direct access to nature, making it ideal for those seeking privacy and a connection to the outdoors. The Columbia open space path enters the woods from this cul-de-sac, and eventually leads to the Middle Patuxent River, and Environmental Area. It’s truly a woodland retreat in the middle of Columbia. Watch the deer, foxes, and birds play from one of your decks, then head to downtown Columbia less than three miles way for dining and shopping. Please also note the backup generator.
