Step outside to the rear brick paver patio where you'll enjoy peaceful mornings and relaxing evenings overlooking the tranquil wooded backdrop. The beautifully landscaped rear yard also features a storage shed, offering both privacy and functionality in a truly park-like setting. Thoughtful improvements throughout the home include engineered hardwood flooring, fresh interior paint, custom lighting, Cat 6E ethernet wiring throughout, upgraded 200-amp electrical service with aluminum-to-copper conversion, a high-efficiency Trane variable-speed heat pump with hybrid natural gas heating, updated washer and dryer, and a 50-gallon water heater with overflow protection. Ideally located in the heart of Columbia, you'll enjoy the perfect balance of privacy and convenience with nearby Blandair Regional Park, Columbia's extensive network of scenic walking and biking trails, neighborhood parks, Oakland Mills Village Center, endless shopping and dining options, entertainment at Merriweather Post Pavilion, and exceptional commuter access to Routes 29, 32, 100, I-95, the Baltimore-Washington Parkway, and beyond.
