HOME IS WHERE YOUR HEART IS. It's where you put yourself in the morning and in those moments just before your eyes close for the evening. Before the rush of life's expectations and after they have taken their toll. That's when you see the beauty. The light that filters through the wall of windows across the room. The reflection of colors from the stacked stone. The shadows from the peaked ceiling. How you fit right in. Entertaining at twilight and midnight on the patio. The crackle of the fire. How the trees frame the curve of the retaining walls. How their shadows fall across the lighted pathways. Making music with the chorus of laughter, the beat of the bass, and the swaying to the sounds of shared melodies projected from room to room. Celebrating community with the sights and sounds of the Patapsco River, peacefulness on the Grist Mill Trail, and the hustle and bustle on Main Street in Historic Ellicott City. And being able to bring family home. It's rare to have a home that can support multi-generational living and accommodate the construction of another home for family right next door. This unique two-parcel sale offering includes an adjacent, separately recorded building lot. Build your own guest house, create your family compound and in-law home, or reserve for future investment. From the moment you enter through the impressive stone pillar entryway and up the curved driveway, this home makes a statement. Exterior lighting, security cameras, and custom stonework offer both elegance and peace of mind. Inside, you’re welcomed by limestone tile flooring in the foyer and kitchen, leading into an expansive open floor plan. Soaring ceilings, a dramatic two-sided fireplace, and walls of windows frame breathtaking views of the forest, making every room feel like a nature escape. Rosewood hardwood flooring adds warmth and richness to the living room, dining room, office, upper hall, and bedrooms, while a mahogany staircase adds a dramatic architectural touch. The heart of the home is a chef’s kitchen designed for both form and function. It features granite countertops, custom wood cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a room-length island with a breakfast bar—perfect for entertaining or everyday living. Enjoy seamless indoor-outdoor living with an IPE rear deck and mahogany railing, perfect for relaxing or hosting in your private, wooded paradise. Flagstone patios, stone pathways, and professionally landscaped retaining walls further enhance the natural beauty of the outdoor space. The home features five bedrooms, including a luxurious primary suite with a spacious walk-in closet and a spa-like en-suite bathroom, complete with a soaking tub and separate shower. Three additional, second-floor bedrooms are served by two well-appointed full bathrooms. Further highlights include a main-level bedroom/office, an upper-level laundry room, a walk-out lower level, a private driveway, and a detached storage building. Tech-savvy buyers will appreciate the integrated wired media system and in-wall speakers throughout the home, adding to its modern comforts. Included in the sale is a separately recorded building lot—ideal for a future guest house, in-law residence, or investment opportunity. Located just minutes from BWI Airport and perfectly positioned for commuters to Baltimore and Washington, D.C., this home is also a short distance from historic Ellicott City and just a walk away from the Patapsco River bridge and scenic hiking trails. This is more than a home—it’s a place to live your next story, surrounded by natural beauty, thoughtful design, and unmatched tranquility.
