About this home
Photos coming soon - Welcome to this beautiful brick Colonial, nestled on a premium lot offering nearly 1.5 acres of wooded privacy. The inviting main level offers an open kitchen with stainless steel appliances, fireplace and a lovely sunroom with access to the deck overlooking wooded views. The upper level features four spacious bedrooms, including a primary suite with a renovated bathroom. The finished walkout basement offers exceptional versatility, with potential for an in-law suite featuring a fifth bedroom, full bathroom and kitchenette. Enjoy direct access to the beautifully landscaped backyard, ideal space for outdoor entertaining. An additional exterior-access shed provides flexible space for a recreation room, home gym and storage. This home features numerous updates, including a newer roof and windows, new water heater & dishwasher and gleaming hardwood floors throughout the stairs and main and upper levels. Ideally located close to route 32, easy access to route 29, Merriweather District, Columbia Mall, shopping, Howard County General Hospital and scenic trails, this property offers the perfect combination of space, privacy and convenience!
Hickory Ridge, located between Lake Elkhorn and Middle Patuxent Environmental Area, is a wooded and trail-linked Columbia neighborhood with lakeside paths and village-style shopping. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Hickory Ridge Village Center at Cedar Lane and Freetown Road, where a small cluster of local storefronts and everyday errands meets a steady rhythm of foot traffic. Robinson Nature Center and the Lake Elkhorn loop set an outdoors-forward cadence, while Merriweather Post Pavilion and the Columbia Art Center add a cultural counterpoint nearby. Housing reads as late-20th-century Columbia—townhomes and single-family streets framed by mature trees. Sidewalks and greenways stitch parks, schools, and pocket playgrounds into daily routines.
