Welcome to one of Columbia’s most exceptional homes—a true private retreat tucked away at the end of its own exclusive drive and nestled on two-thirds of an acre of serene, landscaped beauty. Thoughtfully renovated and impeccably maintained, this residence evokes the feeling of a luxury resort getaway—complete with its very own full-size PRIVATE tennis court (more on that shortly!). Offering over 3,100 square feet of living space, the layout is both spacious and versatile, featuring four bedrooms on the main level and a fifth on the fully finished lower level. Recent upgrades include rich, handsome hardwood floors that perfectly complement the home’s modern, sophisticated design. The kitchen is a true showstopper, boasting granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a striking backsplash, breakfast bar, and abundant cabinetry—ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The bathrooms are equally impressive. Highlights include full-sized, touch-illuminated mirrors, a spa-inspired primary suite with a freestanding soaking tub, a walk-in shower, and dual high-end vanities. Natural light pours in through oversized windows, multiple sliding doors, skylights, and generous recessed lighting, creating a warm and inviting ambiance throughout. The main living room features an abundance of light, while the spacious family room invites you in with a vaulted ceiling, skylight, and fireplace. Step out onto the expansive decks from either the family room or the primary suite, and enjoy peaceful views of your beautifully landscaped backyard. Downstairs, the finished lower level includes a large recreation space and the fifth bedroom—ideal for guests, a home office, or multi-generational living. And then there’s the outdoors—where the magic continues. Multiple tiered decks provide ample space for relaxing, dining, or entertaining. The PRIVATE full-size, fenced-in tennis court is a standout feature, but it’s also incredibly versatile—easily converted into two pickleball courts for endless fun and flexibility. Beyond the court, a lush expanse of green space invites even more possibilities—whether it’s for gardening, play, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings. Additional perks include a large storage shed and a two-car attached garage. Energy efficiency is another standout feature—this home includes a fully owned (not leased!) solar panel system, offering significant savings on utilities. Best of all? You’ll enjoy the benefits of Columbia living without the Columbia Association (CA) fee. Conveniently located with easy access to Ft. Meade, Washington D. C. , Baltimore, the University of Maryland, and more—this is more than just a home; it’s a hidden gem and your personal sanctuary. Don’t miss the opportunity to make this extraordinary property your own.
