About This Home

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.

Ellicott City is the county seat of Howard County, Maryland, and holds a distinction few communities can claim — its historic downtown sits around the oldest surviving railroad station in the United States, built in 1830 as the first terminus of the original B&O Railroad line. Positioned between Baltimore and Washington, D.C., the community blends preserved 18th- and 19th-century architecture with newer residential development that fans out across 31 square miles of rolling Maryland terrain. Fort Meade and BWI Airport are within easy reach, giving the area a steady economic foundation alongside Howard County's well-regarded school system.
Neighborhoods here shift noticeably depending on where you land. The Route 40 corridor offers a lively stretch of international markets and eateries, while the Long Gate area provides a more suburban feel with convenient access to retail and major commuter routes.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
