One-of-a-kind customized colonial in a very desirable Ellicott City area displays pride of ownership throughout and offers what so many new homes do not: quality and charm! This graceful 4 BD, 2 Full and 2 Half Bath home is being sold by the original owners, one of whom was a talented carpenter. Custom Built-in bookcases with lighted glass display cabinets, crown molding with picture railings, wainscoting, picture frame molding (not to be confused with picture rail moldings), solid wood doors with fluted moldings and bullseye corners, solid wood interior shutters - and more. Family room features rich mahogany stained paneling, a handsome brick fireplace, more built-ins - and pocket doors! Formal dining room features an interior glass wall that folds back, enlarging the dining room seamlessly with the breakfast room for an extra-large dining area that can easily sit 20+ for Thanksgiving! This expanded dining area flows outside to the multi-tiered brick patio – they don’t make brick patios like this anymore! Lovely expansive rear yard with mature trees and landscaping gently rolls to a creek-bed. Back inside, hardwoods grace the main and upper levels. The lower level also features a brick fireplace, surrounded by built-ins, would be an ideal place for the gamer in the family. The custom-built wet bar would suit the contemporary collector of small-craft spirits or cigars. Plenty of storage and room for your own hobbies – such as woodworking! The brick stamped concrete driveway offers ample off-street parking. Updates and replacements include windows, HVAC, roof and primary en-suite bath. Walking distance to the local elementary school. NO HOA! This house will not last long on the market.

This home has been nicely maintained throughout the years but could use some updating. On the main level there is the living room, the dining room, a powder room, the kitchen and a family room. There is a sliding glass door in the family room that...
leads to a brick patio. The patio overlooks a nice size backyard and backs to a gentle stream. Upstairs there are 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths. The basement is partially finished with a rec room and a powder room. There is a built in bar in the rec room. There is a door in the unfinished area of the basement that leads to the backyard.
