Spacious and light-filled, this wonderful 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath Colonial offers the perfect blend of comfortable living and a peaceful setting rarely found in such a convenient location. The heart of the home is the large, gourmet kitchen, which flows seamlessly into the living area, and an incredible family/sun room addition that will win your heart from the moment you enter. A wall of windows frames tranquil views of surrounding greenery, creating a bright and airy retreat with a rare sense of privacy in the heart of Howard County. A separate dining room provides space for gatherings or more formal meals. Adjacent to the main level living area, a beautifully crafted screened gazebo offers a quiet escape among the trees. Whether enjoying your morning coffee or an evening conversation surrounded by nature, this elevated outdoor space becomes a true extension of the home. Expansive decks—one on the main level and a covered one that spans the entire length of the lower level—provide multiple options for entertaining, relaxing, or simply taking in the peaceful setting. All four bedrooms are on the second level, including the vaulted-ceiling primary suite—a true standout with sweeping views and a 24-ft-long walk-in closet. The upper-level laundry room is ideal for day-to-day ease. The finished walkout-lower-level includes a spacious recreation room and a private guest suite with a full bath, walk-in closet, and flexible living space—ideal for visitors or extended stays. The home sits on a 0.46-acre lot with a flat, usable backyard—perfect for play, gardening, or simply enjoying the open space. Set on a beautifully landscaped property that backs to county parkland, the home offers generous living space, abundant natural light, and excellent flexibility. Storage is plentiful throughout, including in the lower level, garage loft, and the top level, where an easily accessed attic offers bonus storage and natural light via skylights. Additional highlights include a backup generator, a smart irrigation system, a full gutter system, and a location that offers both privacy and access. Located a short distance to Centennial High, Burleigh Manor Middle, and Centennial Lane Elementary, this home also offers easy access to Centennial Park, downtown Ellicott City, and BWI Airport. This is the one you’ve been waiting for. Welcome Home!

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
