ADD TO THE MUST SEE LIST! PREMIUM LOT/LOCATION! FOURTH STORY BEDROOM/LOFT! Welcome to 5239 Columbia Rd #70; a gorgeous four bedroom townhome backing up to the first hole at Fairway Hills Golf Course. This home is sited in a premium location within the community and offers plenty of space in the backyard to entertain/play while also being walking distance to the golf course. Per the direction of the tee boxes, this home is not at risk of being hit with golf balls. Each level of the home features owner-quality updates and is in excellent condition; move-in ready from day one. Enter the community passing the well-known and loved Forsgate On The Green sign and park in the driveway, attached garage, or one of many guest parking spaces available. Pass through the storm door onto the main level hardwood floor where you'll find the updated kitchen (granite counters, custom wood cabinetry w/ wine storage, updated stainless steel appliances, breakfast area) to your left. The kitchen opens up into the dining area, large enough for an 8-10 person table for those who enjoy entertaining. The dining area then steps down into the main level living space (world famous Columbia, MD architecture) which features plush carpet, trendy paint colors, and a massive sliding door connecting it to the rear deck. The deck is larger than you'd expect and has room for a full size outdoor furniture set up. You'll enjoy watching golfers tee off on the first hole and appreciate the open space behind the home which provides a great place to kick a soccer ball, throw the football, host parties, or relax. The large entrance to the deck allows tons of natural light to create a warm and welcoming feel on the main level. Upstairs on level two you'll find the primary suite featuring a walk-in closet, gorgeous view of the rear yard, and a high-end primary bath. The bathroom shows off a heated tile floor, gorgeous tile shower with dual shower heads and custom inlays, and an updated vanity with modern fixtures. Your own spa right at home! Down the hallway on level two there are two additional bedrooms, both of which feature valued ceilings, and another updated hallway bath. The hallway bath features a large soaking tub, gorgeous tile floors, and updated fixtures. This home really gets exciting on the lower level; a massive entertainment space with high ceilings, fireplace surrounded by built-ins, three storage areas, and a home gym. The lower level walks out to the covered back patio for more of that amazing view. NOTABLE FEATURES: Newer dual zone HVAC units - Workout room/tons of storage - Updated appliances; kitchen + laundry - Deck/covered patio - Renovated kitchen/primary bathroom - Heated tile floors in primary - High ceilings/vaulted ceilings - Updated fixtures - Hardwood floor - Breakfast area - Modern paint colors - Four bedrooms - Attached garage!
