***Sellers have purchased a home and are ready to move. Make your offer NOW*** Rustic Sophistication Meets Modern Charm in this fabulous home with the perfect blend of contemporary and classic living, nestled in Oella of Old Ellicott City. As you enter this enchanting and fully renovated home -- you are greeted by locally quarried stone walls, wood plank and beam ceilings, and log and chink walls -- qualities representative of a more substantive era in home construction. As you explore the rest of this gorgeous home, you will discover new and contemporary fixtures, modern appliances, custom wall and window treatments, and flooring, that complement this extraordinary house's authentic character and warmth. When asked how they would describe their 20 years in this iconic 19th and 21st-century stone home, the owners say, "It is a house for all seasons." Imagine springtime walks with family and friends along the idyllic Patapsco River and the Trolley Trail, experiencing the natural beauty of the Patapsco Valley. Plan summer dinner parties, sharing drinks on stone terraces, roasting marshmallows around the fire pit, enjoying swing sets and cornhole, all in the professionally landscaped and mostly maintenance-free backyard. In the autumn, explore the shops, restaurants and historical attractions on Main Street in Old Ellicott City -- just a half mile walk from the house to town center. And in the winter, enjoy wine and dinners in the exquisite dining room, Christmas in the storybook living room, and simply staying warm around any of three working fireplaces. "We raised our three children here, we've experienced and enjoyed the home as empty nesters, and now we are introducing the house to our grandkids, too -- they simply love the spiral staircase, exploring the backyard, and all the fun features that make the place 'so cool.'" Over the years, the owners spared little expense to find just the right furniture, fixtures and finishes to make each room and every space their own -- and continued each year to update and improve the home -- including a remodeled kitchen with granite countertops and Kitchen Aid appliances to compliment the existing custom cabinetry and Sub-Zero fridge, a 4-year HVAC, two-year roof, gutters and gutter covers, and two-year-old stationary windows. They even recently converted one of the 3rd-floor walk-in closets to a really cool office/nursery or 4th bedroom with dormer windows without compromising space for a full-size washer/dryer and spacious clothes closet. The investments continue outside in the rear landscaping and hardscaping with significant investment in carving bluestone and slate patios into the hillside and adding many lush perennial plantings. "We can’t wait to see who gets to live and experience this very special homestead next!” And this true oasis is just 15 minutes from downtown Baltimore, 30 minutes to Annapolis and 45 minutes to DC -- with three major airports all within an hour's drive. Don't miss your chance to own this gem of a home and experience one of Maryland's most charming and inviting communities!" **Motivated Seller willing to consider closing concession toward buyer closing costs or rate buy-down with acceptable offer.
