Introducing this extraordinary one-of-a-kind home tucked away in the sought-after Woodmark neighborhood in Ellicott City, offering a peaceful retreat on nearly an acre surrounded by mature trees. Featuring three bedrooms with four and a half bathrooms, this home has been thoughtfully updated inside and out, with meticulous attention to detail and timeless design. Beautifully manicured landscaping and a charming covered front porch create a warm welcome as you arrive. Inside, a soft color palette, sun-filled windows, and rich hardwood floors establish an inviting ambiance. Prepare your favorite meals in the gourmet eat-in kitchen that boasts granite countertops, a tile backsplash, lighted cabinetry, and a breakfast nook with a built-in desk station. Stainless steel appliances include a five-burner gas cooktop with telescopic downdraft, double wall ovens, and a Sub-Zero refrigerator replaced in 2024. A cozy wood-burning fireplace with brick surround anchors the elegant living room, enhanced by wainscoting, crown molding, and built-in shelving. French doors from the formal dining room open to an expansive family room with a soaring wood-beamed cathedral ceiling, skylights, and a stunning stacked-stone feature wall. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame peaceful views of the lush surroundings, creating an inspiring space for gathering or unwinding. This side of the home also includes a half bathroom and a laundry room with more storage and garage access. The main level hosts the primary bedroom suite with dual closets and sliding doors to a deck with a relaxing hot tub. The luxurious ensuite bathroom showcases a frameless glass shower with a rainfall showerhead and built-in bench. A second bedroom and a second full bathroom with a tub shower complete the main level. Upstairs, the top level is a private third bedroom suite with a walk-in closet and a spacious walk-in shower in the bathroom. Downstairs, the finished walk-out lower level extends the living area with a large recreation room featuring a gas fireplace and a wet bar, ideal for entertaining. A home office provides a quiet workspace and could serve as a fourth bedroom with an adjacent full bathroom that has a walk-in shower. A versatile bonus room with a walk-in closet offers space for a gym, playroom, another office, or creative studio. Ample storage abounds, including an expansive utility room and separate storage room. Outdoor living shines with a Tennessee flagstone patio perfect for barbecues or starlit evenings. Other recent updates include a new HVAC system (2025) and water heater (2024). Additional features such as outdoor lighting, a storage shed, and a two-car garage ideal for auto enthusiasts, complete this home. Nestled across from 28 acres of conserved woodlands and a scenic neighborhood pond down the street, this tranquil setting offers both natural beauty and a true sense of retreat.
