Some homes check most of the boxes. This one was built to check all of them. Offered by its original owner and meticulously maintained since day one, this 2017-built 6-bedroom, 4.5-bath home delivers a rare combination of scale, flexibility, and modern upgrades — all with no HOA, no front foot fee, and no Columbia Association fee. Step inside and the home makes an immediate impression. A dramatic two-story foyer opens into a soaring double-height family room filled with natural light. Nine-foot ceilings throughout, and a versatile main-level bonus room provides the perfect space for a home office, library, or flex space. The primary suite feels like a private retreat, complete with a sitting area and a custom-designed, room-sized walk-in closet with a refined boutique-style finish. One of the home's most valuable features is the walk-out basement. Designed as a true independent living space, it includes a complete second kitchen, two bedrooms, a full bath, separate laundry, and direct access to a large concrete patio. Whether for extended family, long-term guests, or rental potential, this level offers flexibility rarely found in a home like this. Outside, the backyard has been thoughtfully transformed into a true outdoor living environment — an expansive deck with a permanent covered gazebo, a fenced yard, a dedicated playground area, and a custom concrete walkway connecting front and back. A stone retaining wall garden adds a polished touch to the home's curb appeal. The finished "showroom" garage features SwissTrax flooring, EV charging, and professionally finished walls. Combined with the extended driveway and 2-car garage, the property accommodates 6+ vehicles with ease. Inside, dual HVAC systems with two independent thermostats and two water heaters provide efficient, year-round comfort. Located in the highly convenient Columbia/Elkridge corridor, the home is just minutes from Costco Wholesale, along with a wide range of shopping and dining options. Quick access to Route 100, I-95, and major commuter routes makes travel to Baltimore, Washington, DC, and surrounding areas straightforward.
