Offer deadline Monday 12pm. Welcome to a nature lover’s dream home, an elegant Colonial with a premium lot that backs to woods and offers a trail leading to the local park and library. Recent renovations completed in 2022 include a new roof, hot water heater, Trane gas furnace, and washer and dryer. The HVAC was replaced in 2019. Furthermore, this home has an amazing amount of custom stonework, and you might feel as if you are entertaining in Italy with a lower-level stone wine-tasting room, and both an outdoor wood-fired stone pizza oven and separate stone fireplace. Located on a spacious parcel, this property is located in a quiet cul-de-sac and the backyard is private and tranquil. Entering the home, you will be impressed with the 2-story foyer which showcases hardwood floors and a curved staircase. The hardwood floors continue throughout the office, living, dining, and family rooms. The office is conveniently located adjacent to the foyer behind double doors. Tucked between the living and dining areas is a reading nook, complete with a cushioned window seat. The dining room is beautifully accented by decorative moldings and a sunny, window-filled bump-out. The kitchen is expansive with plentiful cabinetry, island seating for 4, extra dinette space, and a built-in desk. In addition to the many cabinets, the walk-in pantry is sure to please! Granite countertops shine in the light from the large windows and French doors lead to the stone patio. The family room flows from the kitchen area and calls you to come relax by the gas fireplace. The main level, graced with 9-foot ceilings, is completed by a half bath, a double-door coat closet, and a large laundry/mud room with utility sink that gives access to the 2-car garage. Upstairs, the owner’s suite is spacious and restful, with vaulted ceilings and a sitting area separated by stately columns. Closet space is abundant with 2 walk-in closets. The owner’s bath is expansive as well, inviting you to soak in the over-sized corner tub while basking in sunlight from the skylight. Separate vanities, a private water closet, and large shower complete the bath. Three additional large bedrooms and a bathroom complete the upper level. Escape to the wine room in the basement, clad in stone and accommodating 256 bottles of wine in the locking, temperature-controlled cellar. With room for several bistro sets, entertain in the ambiance of this amazing space. A luxurious full bath with Italian tile is on the lower level, and a massive unfinished area awaits your design. Outdoor cooking and entertaining are ideal on the multi-level stone patio. There are built-in counters and stainless steel cabinets in the grilling area. But the highlights are massive stone fireplaces on opposite sides of the patio offering a pizza oven on one side and fireplace on the other. Deer are abundant as well as other woodland creatures, and birds of prey, including a bald eagle, are regular visitors. Commuting is a breeze with quick access to Routes 198, 29, and 95. Only 12 minutes to Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab! Close by are restaurants, places of worship, grocery stores, and many other services. There are endless parks and conserved lands nearby as well.
