Welcome Home!! This beautifully maintained Colonial residence is situated in the highly sought-after Briarcliffe Neighborhood of Ellicott City. Boasting 5,070 square feet of finished living space on a generous 0.37-acre lot, this sun-filled home masterfully blends timeless charm with thoughtful upgrades and impressive versatility — including a fully finished walk-out basement in-law suite.
The property welcomes you with lush, mature landscaping, a meticulously kept driveway, siding in excellent condition, and a charming widow's walk balcony that enhances the home's character and curb appeal.
Step inside to discover gleaming hardwood floors and abundant natural light throughout. Enjoy two warm and inviting living areas — one featuring a wood-burning fireplace, the other a cozy gas fireplace — perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. The renovated kitchen is a chef's dream, equipped with granite countertops, updated cabinetry, a center island, and a gas stove with double ovens, making it the true heart of the home. Additional main level highlights include a formal dining room, a versatile flex space ideal as a piano room, den, or home office, a powder room, and a convenient laundry room with direct access to the 2-car garage.
Step out onto a private deck overlooking the peaceful, tree-lined backyard — an ideal setting for relaxing, entertaining, or enjoying quiet moments surrounded by nature.
Upstairs, you'll find 3 generously sized bedrooms, each featuring hardwood floors and ample closet space, complemented by a full bath in excellent condition. The expansive primary suite occupies the entire top floor, offering a serene retreat with a walk-in closet to the right, an additional closet to the left, a luxurious jetted Jacuzzi tub, and a large tiled shower for spa-like relaxation.
Downstairs, the fully finished walk-out basement is designed as a private in-law suite, complete with durable LVP flooring, a full kitchen with granite countertops, a full bathroom, and its own washer and dryer. It also includes an unfinished storage area for added convenience. From this level, step outside to a private chill area with beautiful backyard views — perfect for extended family, guests, or independent living quarters.
This home combines incredible space and comfort with thoughtful updates where it matters most, including a 6-year-old roof, a 2019 hot water heater, 4-year-old hardwood floors, and a 5-year-old furnace. All major systems have been recently updated for efficiency, comfort, and low-maintenance living.
