Located in the popular Mt. Hebron area, this home is in a neighborhood yet sits on a lot that offers a surprising sense of privacy and backs to acres of treed Howard County Open Space. This home combines convenience, space, and a beautiful natural setting. The main level offers a wonderful layout for both daily living and entertaining. The foyer opens to a spacious living room and a dining room with a beautiful tray ceiling for sophisticated entertaining. The kitchen provides granite countertops, updated stainless steel appliances, including Bosch double wall ovens, Bosch dishwasher, Samsung refrigerator, and KitchenAid downdraft cooktop, along with plenty of room for cooking, gathering, and direct access to the deck, creating a convenient outdoor entertaining venue. You will know you have arrived as you enter the dramatic two-story family room, where a cozy fireplace, soaring ceilings, abundant windows, and breathtaking seasonal views combine with a warm, cozy atmosphere to create an unforgettable focal point for the home — especially when the leaves begin to change, and the snow begins to fall. Adjacent to the family room, the office offers flexibility for working from home, hobbies, or study, with hardwood floors and large windows creating an elegant, peaceful setting. The main floor also includes a convenient main-level laundry adjacent to the garage, and a half bathroom. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a spacious and peaceful retreat, complete with a large primary bathroom with vaulted ceilings and a huge, walk-in closet. Three additional bedrooms and another full bathroom complete the upper level, providing room for everyone and flexible living options. The lower level expands the living space even further with a large recreation room, two bonus rooms ideal for hobbies, fitness, guests, or workspace needs, and a full bathroom. The basement also includes ceiling-mounted theater capability, creating excellent potential for movie nights and entertaining. Outside, you will enjoy the thoughtfully improved rear patio area with a built-in brick bench, along with the natural stone front walkway and front door step, which add to the home’s curb appeal and outdoor enjoyment. The private rear setting backing to open space creates a peaceful atmosphere that is difficult to find while still being so convenient to everything.
