Tucked away on a quiet cul de sac in Howard County's desirable Hammond Hills community, this beautifully maintained colonial offers more than 3,000 square feet across three finished levels with five bedrooms, three and a half baths, and numerous recent updates. Freshly painted throughout the main level, brand new carpeting installed upstairs just one week ago, a new garage door, and recently replaced washer, dryer, dishwasher, and refrigerator, all less than 18 months old, complement the home's timeless appeal. A welcoming foyer is flanked by formal living and dining rooms, each featuring a charming box bay window with a built-in window seat that provides additional storage. Neutral paint creates a bright, inviting backdrop throughout the home. At the center of it all, the kitchen is appointed with ceiling height cabinetry, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances, while an adjoining breakfast nook with a bay window offers the perfect spot for casual meals. The kitchen also provides convenient access to the attached two car garage. Just beyond, the family room invites gathering around a cozy wood burning fireplace and opens through a sliding glass door to the deck overlooking the tree lined backyard. A conveniently located powder room completes the main level. Vaulted ceilings enhance the spacious primary suite, where a walk-in closet, linen closet, and private bath with a double sink vanity and tiled tub and shower create a comfortable retreat. Three additional bedrooms share a well-designed hall bath featuring a double sink vanity. Both upper level baths have some updated tile replaced within the last 5 years. Completed in 2024, the finished lower level adds exceptional flexibility with a spacious recreation room featuring recessed lighting, tv wiring, wide plank luxury vinyl plank flooring, and a sliding glass door leading to the backyard. A fifth bedroom, stylish full bath, and versatile bonus room ideal for a home office, exercise space, or hobby room complete this level. Outdoor spaces are equally inviting with a welcoming brick front patio, an elevated deck with railing replaced in the last several years, and a peaceful backyard framed by mature trees. This home enjoys convenient access to shopping, dining, parks, and everyday amenities, along with nearby Maple Lawn and Historic Savage Mill. Commuters appreciate the easy connections to I 95, Route 29, MD 32, Fort Meade, Columbia, Baltimore, and Washington, D.C., making this an ideal location for both work and recreation.
