Welcome to 11533 Shell Flower Lane, a beautifully appointed townhome nestled in the sought- after Clary’s Forest community of Columbia. With three bedrooms, two full baths, and two half baths, this residence offers both comfort and convenience, featuring assigned parking and a partially finished walk-out lower level that blends seamlessly with the surrounding parkland. The main level showcases a bright front kitchen with a box bay window and granite counters, a separate dining room, and a living room enhanced by a wood-burning fireplace and sliding glass doors that open to a rear deck with some of the best views in Clary’s Forest. Upstairs, the en- suite primary bedroom boasts mirrored closet doors and an upgraded shower, while two additional bedrooms share a full hall bath. The lower level extends the living space with new carpet, fresh paint, and walk-out access to a brick patio surrounded by trees, a creek, and scenic trails. Recent updates add peace of mind, including a new HVAC system (2023), roof replacement (2020), primary bath fixture updates (2022), front windows (2024), and upgraded primary shower (2025). Additional highlights include kitchen granite counters (2013) and a well- maintained water heater. Clary’s Forest offers an array of community amenities such as a pool, playground, basketball courts, and walking trails, all while being conveniently close to commuter routes 29, 32, I-95, the ICC, and Columbia Mall. With its serene parkland backdrop and a wealth of modern upgrades, this townhome is the perfect blend of nature, community, and comfort.
