Charming, warm and spacious 4 Bedroom home with NEW ROOF and NEW central air! So many spaces to enjoy, plenty of room for a home office or two. Family Room addition opens to the Kitchen and Breakfast area. Warm your toes by the wood burning fireplace or the wood stove in winter, and enjoy the huge front and back yards with ample space to play or plant more gardens in summer. You could even have a wedding reception back there! This Cape Cod has 2 Bedrooms upstairs that are identical, a hall Bath in between, and 2 storage rooms on either side of the Bath. The Basement is composed of a very large finished room, several walk-in storage rooms, plus the boiler/laundry room. Full Bath on every level! Across the street is the Howard County Center for the Arts for year-round enjoyment or summer day camp. The front of 8513 is shielded by lovely trees and a long paved driveway, giving it a sense of privacy. It is a serene environment in a lovely residential community, but so close to downtown Ellicott City and its many amenities. What's not to love?
