About This Home

UPDATED MODERN COLONIAL ON RARE 1.28-ACRE PRIVATE LOT! Welcome to your spacious, sun-filled oasis in Ellicott City! This beautifully updated Colonial is nestled on a rare 1.28-acre private lot surrounded by mature trees, with professionally maintained lawn included in rent. Enjoy peaceful living with the conveniences of Howard County’s top-rated schools, Patapsco State Park trails just steps away, and easy commutes to Baltimore and DC. The bright and airy living and formal dining rooms open seamlessly into the well-appointed kitchen, perfect for both elegant dinners and casual gatherings.The kitchen features a large peninsula ideal for prep or hosting, stainless-steel appliances, warm wood cabinets and overhead lighting, and a cozy breakfast nook area flooded in natural light and overlooking the backyard. The family room flows directly off the kitchen, showcasing a natural-gas fireplace, hardwood flooring, custom built-ins, and a door to the expansive back patio and lawn—complete with a natural-gas Weber grill!

Three additional bedrooms, a full bath, and an upstairs washer/dryer zone for convenience complete this level.
