Over the last 2-3 months have you yearned for more interior and exterior space? Here is a special home. Spread out for a July 4th celebration! Rare opportunity to own a well maintained single family home in Guilford Downs in Columbia in desirable Howard County. These detached homes are few and far between. This very private, superb location on almost 1/2 acre coupled with NO CPRA and NO HOA fees does not come along every day. This 4 BR/3.5 FB split level/mid century modern home located on the court won't last long. The court has no center island either which leaves more open space. The home is much larger than it appears and it is move in ready. See for yourself. Welcome your guests into the foyer with 12 inch square slate tile flooring from the covered front porch. Enjoy the main level entertaining space and views of the backyard upon entry. The main level has a spacious, freshly painted and upgraded kitchen with solid surface counter tops, deep dish sink with a Moen faucet, eat in table space, vaulted ceilings and 15 inch square ceramic tile floor. There is no end to the cabinets including the upper ones which are 39 inches. The kitchen window over the sink brings in plenty of natural light. Access the walkway from the carport, shed (for trash cans and yard tools), backyard and the dining area thru the kitchen. The combined living/dining area with replacement windows and a sliding door to the back deck provides views of the gifts of mother nature. The living room wood burning fireplace with slate hearth and mantle is the perfect cozy spot for winter evenings. The first floor is complete with a freshly painted powder room with 12 inch square slate tile flooring. The upper level has 3 bedrooms with a master BR en-suite including an expanded FB (with a skylight and 2 sinks) and all hardwood floors in the bedrooms and hallway. The hallway FB has been upgraded. Generous closets and a hallway linen closet. Vaulted ceilings and replacement windows complete this level. The first lower level, more generous living space includes a large BR, freshly painted hallway full bath and a family room with sliding door access to a private patio. This level has laminate tile flooring. Still more house to come, the second lower level has a large recreation room and the laundry area contains commercial grade, stand alone Maytag washer and dryer and a 24 inch utility sink. The un-finished workshop and utility room has plenty of storage space. Covered carport for 2 cars and an additional parking spot. Lots of available parking on the court and driveway. Mature landscaping (including peonies, vinca, iris, daffodils, azaleas, clematis and a dogwood (garden bed in the back deck)), indoor/outdoor living just in time for summer.
