With ample street parking, nearby community parking, and a striking portico entry complemented by a two-car driveway, this home immediately sets the tone for both elegance and ease—ideal for entertaining and everyday living alike. Inside, a sunlit foyer welcomes you with ceramic tile flooring and regal crown molding, unfolding into a beautifully finished recreational space featuring brand-new carpet and tailored window treatments. Ascend to the main living level, thoughtfully designed for hosting and connection. The gas-powered kitchen is the heart of the home—appointed with stainless steel appliances, brand-new Calcutta quartz countertops, marble backsplash, 42” Snow White cabinetry, rich hardwood flooring, and statement pendant lighting. The kitchen flows seamlessly into an intimate breakfast nook accented by upgraded lighting and gold hardware, with direct access to a private balcony/terrace—an end-unit advantage that floods the space with natural light. Down the hall, the formal dining area is elevated by custom lighting, crown and chair rail molding, and recessed lights that create a warm, inviting ambiance. The expansive family room impresses with its scale, crown molding, abundant sunlight, and plush new carpeting, while a stylish powder room completes the level. The upper level is a private retreat. The owner’s suite features fresh paint and carpet, a ceiling fan, walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired ensuite with double vanity, ceramic tile, soaking tub, and a walk-in shower enclosed by a stunning new frameless glass door with body spray. Two additional bedrooms—each with ceiling fans—share a well-appointed hall bath, and an upper-level laundry area adds everyday convenience. Beyond the home, the lifestyle is exceptional. Shipley’s Grant is one of Howard County’s most sought-after communities, offering a resort-style pool, fitness center, playgrounds, scenic walking and biking trails, and a beautifully upgraded community center.
