About this home
Welcome to 5161 Harpers Farm Road, beautifully updated and ideally situated in the upscale Villas at Hobbit’s Glen, a close-knit golf course community in the heart of Columbia. Offering a flexible 3- or 4-bedroom layout, multiple living spaces, a finished lower level, garage, abundant natural light, and beautiful golf-course views, this home delivers space, comfort, and an exceptional Columbia lifestyle. The main level features wood flooring, fresh paint, new recessed lighting, an updated powder room, and bright, open living spaces. The refreshed kitchen features new stainless steel appliances and opens to a comfortable sitting area with a gas fireplace. Step outside onto the large rear deck, relax, entertain, and watch the golfers go by. Direct garage access is conveniently located at the end of the main hallway near the stairs to both the upper and lower levels. Upstairs, new carpet continues throughout a wonderfully flexible floor plan. The spacious primary suite offers excellent closet space, an updated private bath with soaking tub and separate shower, and its own covered deck overlooking the peaceful surroundings. An adjoining sitting room makes a terrific office, den, nursery, or reading room and could easily be enclosed to create a third upstairs bedroom. A Jack-and-Jill-style half bath connects this space to the hallway. The second level also includes a private guest bedroom above the garage with its own updated full bath, an additional loft perfect for a home office or reading area, and a convenient upstairs laundry room with two utility sinks. The mostly finished lower level provides even more living space with a huge family/recreation room, a generously sized legal bedroom with egress, a full bath, additional storage, and a separate utility room. With the lower-level bedroom and flexible upstairs sitting room, the home can function beautifully as a 3- or 4-bedroom residence. The location is just as impressive. The Villas at Hobbit’s Glen offers a wooded, golf-course setting convenient to Hobbit’s Glen Golf Club and the highly regarded Turn House restaurant, along with nearby tennis, swimming, walking trails, and outdoor recreation. Enjoy everything the greater Columbia community has to offer, including extensive Columbia Association amenities with sports and fitness centers, indoor and outdoor swimming, gyms, exercise classes, playgrounds, trails, and year-round activities. All of this is just minutes from shopping, dining, major commuter routes, Howard Community College, Howard County General Hospital, Downtown Columbia, and the award-winning Merriweather Post Pavilion. Beautifully renovated, remarkably spacious, and surrounded by recreation, nature, and some of Columbia’s best amenities, 5161 Harpers Farm Road offers the golf-course lifestyle and convenience that make Hobbit’s Glen such a special place to call home.
Hobbit's Glen, located between Centennial Park and the Columbia Town Center, is a residential and golf-course Columbia neighborhood with wooded streets and rolling fairways. Much of the architecture leans toward late-20th-century colonials and contemporary homes set on curving roads and cul-de-sacs. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Hobbit’s Glen Golf Club clubhouse, where greenside patios and tournament-day bustle set the tone. Community pillars include Hobbit’s Glen Golf Club, Merriweather Post Pavilion, and Toby’s Dinner Theatre for nights that feel distinctly Columbia. Paths and parkland shape daily routines, with Centennial Park’s loop and lake views acting as a natural extension of the neighborhood. Shopping and dining energy gathers at The Mall in Columbia and nearby Merriweather District blocks, balancing quiet streets with a polished, modern scene.

Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in the Hobbits Glen Golf Course community, this expansive three-level villa townhome offers the space, privacy, and views that are increasingly hard to find in Columbia. With over 4,000 square feet, this home lives more like a single-family residence - yet with the convenience of townhome living. From the moment you enter the two-story foyer, natural light and warm hardwood floors set the tone for a home designed for both everyday comfort and memorable gatherings. The main level flows effortlessly from the living and dining rooms into a generous kitchen and family room - the heart of the home. Stainless steel appliances, ample counter space, and a breakfast area make the kitchen functional and welcoming, while the adjoining family room and gas fireplace invite you to relax. Step onto the deck and take in peaceful golf course views - an ideal location for morning coffee, evening wine, or entertaining friends. Upstairs, four bedrooms and three full baths offer flexibility for a variety of living needs. The spacious primary suite is a true retreat, complete with a walk-in closet, spa-style bath, and a private balcony overlooking the course. Two additional bedrooms feature ensuite baths, while a fourth bedroom enjoys convenient access to a full hall bath. A laundry area is thoughtfully located on this level. The finished walk-up lower level expands your options even further, featuring a large recreation room, full bath, bedroom with egress window, and abundant storage - perfect for guests, multigenerational living, a home office, or movie nights. Recent updates totaling over $50,000 provide peace of mind, including a new exterior water line and lower-level carpet (2025), kitchen appliances (2023), roof and upper-level HVAC (2019), and more. Backing to the 7th hole of Hobbits Glen, this home offers rare privacy and scenic views in a community of just 36 residences — where opportunities like this don’t come along often. Enjoy close proximity to The Turn House, parks, trails, shopping, dining, and downtown Columbia, with easy access to Routes 29, 32, 100, and I-95 for commuting to both Baltimore and Washington, D. C. This is more than a home — it’s a lifestyle. Come experience it for yourself. Welcome home! This villa is not age restricted (not 55+). CPRA is $1750.64 annually and condo fee $275 monthly. Property is being sold AS-IS and is subject to third-party approval but it is NOT a short sale. Seller will make no repairs.
