Owners tell us Life is great NEAR 21228 - our home is truly unique: located in historic Oella, just up the hill from historic Ellicott City shops and restaurants, and a quick drive from our favorite spots in Catonsville. We love hiking on the Trolley Trail to Main Street Ellicott City, playing tennis at the Westchester park, and exploring Banneker Museum with its colonial cabin, gardens, and orchard. We have fond memories of getting together with friends and neighbors for pizza day at the Breadery, paint nights at Atwater's in Catonsville, or simply enjoying each other's company on evenings, weekends, and many holidays around the year, right in our court. When looking to relax, we curl up in a comfy seat on the deck and listen to birds chirp and watch squirrels chase each other through the trees, or set up our hammock on the patio below and climb in with a favorite book. Inside, we love the open concept with seamless hardwood floors and the three finished levels with space for everyone. We love to entertain in every season, so the features that stood out for us when we found this home were the kitchen with gas stove, two pantries, and pass through to the dining room, the French doors with access to the deck and barbecue, the wood corner fireplace in the living room, and large lower level with walkout. On the upper level, you will discover a master retreat. The grand master bedroom has a vaulted ceiling, wall of windows facing the woods, two closets, one of which is a large walk-in, and en-suite luxurious master bathroom with skylight. With an oversize jetted soaking tub, imagine how good it feels to relax after a long day in this spa-like bathroom, and gaze out the window through the trees. A large separate shower and double vanity complete this space. Down the hallway, you will find two additional bedrooms, each with vaulted ceilings and fans, and a hallway bathroom. A wonderful bonus that we found very helpful and convenient is the upper level laundry with newer washer and dryer. The lower level is another great surprise. It really is as spacious as the pictures show you. When guests or extended family stay over, the upper rec room converts to a fourth bedroom and they have their own and private full third bathroom in the house. We also have room for an office. The sunken rec room is a great play, music, and exercise area, with regular size windows on the entire back, as well as a sliding door to the patio. Through the years we have completed many UPDATES in the home including: new roof, HVAC unit, living room and front bedroom windows, Brazilian hardwoods on the upper level, newer washer and dryer, fresh paint on the main level, upper hallway, and staircases. To the new owners, we offer a 1-year home warranty. Whether you enjoy the outdoors, shopping, dining, or staying in and relaxing, we know you will love this home as much as we do! *** 3D MATTERPORT TOUR WITH FLOOR PLAN: https://my.matterport.com/show/?m=jeh9dPghnVw ***
