Welcome to 8729 Fairhaven Place — a beautifully refreshed single-family home tucked into the charming Heritage Woods community of Howard County. This home offers an unbeatable combination of thoughtful updates, inviting living spaces, and an extraordinary backyard that truly sets it apart. Brand-new carpet and fresh paint throughout create a bright, move-in ready canvas, while hardwood floors flow through the living room, kitchen, and hallways on the main level.

Listed by Brian Saver• Long & Foster Real Estate, Inc.
Savage-Guilford, located between Savage Mill and Guilford Road, is a historic and residential Savage neighborhood with mill-era character and wooded river edges. The neighborhood’s energy concentrates around the Savage Mill complex along Foundry Street, where brick warehouses frame coffee counters, small studios, and weekend browsing. Industrial architecture and converted mill buildings set a textured backdrop for daily routines. Savage Mill anchors local culture with maker shops and galleries inside the old textile buildings. The Bollman Truss Bridge adds a signature landmark feel over the Patuxent. Trails and riverbank greenspace shape a walk-and-pause rhythm near the water.
