Light-filled, beautifully updated and spacious, this 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath colonial offers 2,824 finished square feet, a side-entry 2-car garage and a fantastic corner-lot setting in Ellicott City's Chatham community. Step inside to an inviting interior filled with natural light and hardwood floors throughout much of the main level. Generous living and dining rooms provide plenty of space for everyday living and entertaining. The bright kitchen features warm wood cabinetry, ample counter space and newer stainless steel appliances, while the adjoining breakfast area flows into a welcoming family room with beamed ceilings, built-in shelving and a cozy wood-burning fireplace with brick surround. A laundry/mudroom and powder room complete the main level. Upstairs, the spacious primary bedroom features an en suite bath, while three additional generously sized bedrooms share a full hall bath. Hardwood floors continue throughout the bedroom level. The walk-out lower level was finished in 2023 and adds even more living space, including a 5th bedroom, full bath and recreation room. New windows and a new sliding glass door bring in plenty of natural light and provide direct access to the backyard. Additional storage is available in the lower-level crawl space. Outside the nearly 1/2-acre, level yard offers plenty of room for entertaining, lounging and play.
