Don’t miss this rare opportunity to live in this gorgeous Cattail Woods neighborhood located in Western Howard County! This beautiful 4 bedroom, 4-1/2 bath Colonial is situated on 1.24 +/- acres with a private fenced backyard and a 2-car garage. The generous 4700 sq ft of finished living space includes a guest addition on the main floor. The addition, with its own HVAC system and new roof, has a separate entrance that leads to a sitting room, another large room with built-in drawers, and a full bathroom that is wheelchair accessible. This area is currently being used as an in-law suite but is the perfect space for growing teenagers that want their own private space. The gourmet kitchen is complete with a large island, granite counters, stainless steel appliances, gas cooking, and an abundance of cabinet space. Tile backsplash and recessed lighting help create a subtly luxurious feel and make this space perfect for entertaining. A large sunroom with porcelain tile flooring extends from the kitchen and opens to a screened in porch via sliding glass doors. You can’t beat summer nights on the porch, enjoying the panoramic view of the peaceful backyard, or watching the kids play on the playset. A stone patio provides space for grilling and entertaining, and a shed allows for additional storage. Natural light streams into the 2-story family room from floor to ceiling windows that face the backyard, and a gas fireplace that will keep you cozy all winter. The family room, living room, and dining room all feature hardwood floors. The first level also includes a library/office that has ceramic floors, built-in shelving with lights, and a reading bench with storage. A remodeled half bath and a mud room with laundry complete the first level. The upper level offers the spacious owner's suite with its own beautifully renovated spa-like bathroom complete with a glass-enclosed shower, relaxing soaking tub, and dual vanities. This suite includes a walk-in closet and convenient laundry chute. There are 3 additional generously-sized bedrooms on the upper level and a guest bath. The finished lower level, with an additional full bath, is full of potential and can easily be used as a gym, rec room, or guest space of your dreams. An unfinished area completes the basement with opportunity for storage space or a workshop. Updates in the last couple of years include roof, main house furnace, Anderson windows, siding, and water heater. Radon remediation has also been completed. This is a perfect setting in a private and quiet neighborhood yet convenient to Rt. 70, Rt. 144 and Rt. 94.
