**OFFER DEADLINE SUNDAY 1/19 AT 3PM** PRIDE OF OWNERSHIP shows in this 4 bedroom, 2 full bath custom rancher! The land was purchased, the house was built, and the owners have been here for 53 years! They have taken meticulous care of their home and it shows! They have also updated along the way, so you don't have to! Walk into the spacious kitchen with granite counters, stainless steel appliances (new dishwasher), ash-wood cabinets that are plentiful (and contain pull-out shelving), pantry, backsplash, double sink, inset lighting, pass-through to the dining room, wainscoting on walls, and an eat-in area for everyday dining. This is the kitchen you have always wanted. Step into the huge dining room (but you can make it anything you like...would be a great family room!). The hardwood floors, chair rails, beautiful custom built-in cabinets/hutch, vaulted ceiling, and inset lighting are just a start. What will wow you is the plethora of windows and atrium door to the front porch and door to the back deck that allows in so much natural light...and the view overlooking the backyard, pool, and woods is incredible! Next, the living room also boasts built-in custom cabinets all along one wall and another great view through the large bay window. 3 bedrooms and a large bath make up the rest of the main floor. Head downstairs to the finished basement and find a huge finished room! This space is highlighted by the stone wall around the fireplace (with heatilator) and the built-in bar across the room! What an amazingly large space to host family gatherings or watch the big game with your friends. The whole extended family could fit down here easily!! This room has walk-out double doors to the paver patio and the heated in-ground pool for those lazy summer days where the kids can make great memories. The basement also features a TRUE 4th bedroom that is extremely large, and has window and door egress to the outside. If you don't need another bedroom, it would make a great workout room or a kid's playroom. There is a full bath in the basement that is totally updated, and has a gorgeous walk-in shower! Head outside to the inground pool that was just redone in 2021. It features new coping, plaster, and tile! The views of the woods behind your home as you swim are amazing. You have your own idyllic setting that can be enjoyed from the pool, the back deck (made with PVC, so no rotting), and front porch! The detached oversize garage is a car enthusiasts dream (the engine hoist will stay!!)...or make it your own personal workshop! The second story is a huge space that can be used for storage, or finished for an apartment (there is a separate septic system for this room, but it would need to be connected). Even with all this privacy, you are just minutes from Route 26 and all the dining and shopping that Eldersburg has to offer! Latest updates: Driveway repaved, kitchen remodeled in 2015, water heater 2014, HVAC in December of 2016, and pool heater electronics redone in 2024. There is also an extra .15 acre lot that comes with the home!
