Next Step Realty is proud to present 4886 Green Bridge Road, Dayton, MD 21036! This property has been lovingly owned & enjoyed by the same family for 25 years & now it is time to pass this special home onto a new owner. This highly sought after address in Howard County is served by Dayton Oaks Elementary, Folly Quarter Middle & Glenelg High School. You'll feel your blood pressure lowering & your mood elevating as you exit the highway and cruise through the beautiful, country landscape. This large colonial is situated in the middle of 3 lush acres. The grounds have so many hidden gems! Off of the family room there is a deck with a huge picnic table perfect for crab feasts, an in-ground pool for hot summer days & a beautiful fish pond tucked away in a secluded spot. You'll love grabbing fresh fruit from the trees in the small orchard plus all types of berries & grapes. You'll take fewer trips to the grocery store because you can walk right out back and harvest fresh veggies like asparagus, beans, carrots, cucumbers, lettuce, peas, & potatoes for dinner. There is a generous, detached shed to store lawn & garden equipment and a well loved swing set. There is a shared driveway agreement in place with several neighbors. This home has an oversized, side-load garage with a parking pad for 6 - 8 cars. Friends and family usually use the back door, but if you follow the brick path around to the front of the home you'll cross the wraparound front porch to enter through the front door into a bright, 2 story foyer. There is a comfortable living room with a fireplace to the left large enough to accommodate a baby grand piano & a dedicated office /study to the right offering a wood stove for comfort when you're working late on cold winter nights. The heart of the home is the huge kitchen & family room area at the rear of the house. Your friends and family will gather here over the years in all seasons. The kitchen has everything needed for serious cooks; loads of oversized hickory cabinets with generous pull out drawers, a double oven, an island with a prep sink and a long breakfast bar with seating for 6 - 8 people. It's the perfect spot to cook a large dinner, throw a holiday party or host book club. Most days you'll just find it ideally set up for making lunches while the kids eat breakfast or sipping your coffee in the morning while you check your email. There is a large, separate dining room just off the kitchen for more formal meals. On the main level there is also a full bath with a shower which is convenient for all the new friends you'll have when the pool is in use, a laundry room, coat closet, additional storage closets and access to the over-sized garage. At the top of the stairs you'll find a landing perfect for a small office area. The master suite can easily accommodate a king sized bed and several other large pieces of furniture. The master bathroom offers a double vanity, separate shower & walk-in closet. There are 3 other bedrooms located upstairs and another full bathroom. The lower level has berber carpeting and there are two defined areas that could be used as a recreation room and a game room. There is a built-in bar and a pool table that will convey. Pass through to the unfinished portion of the basement and you'll appreciate having a ton of extra storage space for seasonal and occasional items.
