Welcome to this well maintained Mid Century Modern split level home in the sought-after Ellicott City location. This home sits on half acre of extensive gardens with specimen trees and shrubs and perennials making it a true gardeners paradise that offers year-round beauty and a haven for birds and nature lovers alike. A custom Designers Guild bluestone patio with lighting creates an outdoor private living space. With no mandatory HOA and easy access to shopping, lakes, trails, and commuter routes to Baltimore and Washington, this home offers both privacy and convenience near all the amenities of Columbia and Ellicott City. Inside, warmth and comfort define the living spaces. Large windows (Anderson and Pella) invite natural light throughout, enhancing the home’s welcoming feel. Hardwood floors run throughout the main and upper bedroom levels, while the spacious, open floor plan provides both functionality and flow. Upstairs are three bedrooms and two full baths. The main level features a Jøtul Norwegian wood stove in the spacious living room that fills the home with a wonderful heat during colder months. The entry level offers a large family room, guest room, and powder room—perfect for flexible living. Recent updates include a new hot water heater (2025), newer stainless steel refrigerator and dishwasher, quartz countertops, an Amish-built storage shed, open firewood shed, and CertainTeed lifetime-warranty fiberglass roof. This is more than a house—it is a home, lovingly nurtured over many years, offering beautiful views, light, and an extraordinary connection to nature.
