8517 Ellicott View Road, Ellicott City, MD 21043

Property Description

Some homes are designed to impress you for a moment. Others have a way of making you imagine a life there. Tucked into the Autumn Oaks community of Ellicott City, close to the cul-de-sac, this traditional four-bedroom home has been the backdrop for years of everyday moments, celebrations, holidays and memories. Now, after being loved and lived in, it's ready for a new owner to begin their own chapter. Step through the front door and the two-story foyer welcomes you into 2,554 square feet of above-grade living space. The formal living and dining rooms have hosted gatherings and special occasions, while the heart of the home is just beyond—the kitchen and casual dining area opening to a comfortable family room with a wood-burning fireplace. It's easy to picture chilly fall evenings by the fire, Sunday afternoons at home, and friends and family gathering in the kitchen. The main level also offers something today's buyers will appreciate—a dedicated home office, along with a convenient laundry room and powder room. Step outside onto the composite deck and you'll quickly discover another special part of this property. The extra-large, private backyard offers room for cookouts, gardening, outdoor games, pets, or simply enjoying a quiet morning with a cup of coffee. Upstairs, the primary bedroom features a walk-in closet and private ensuite with a soaking tub with jacuzzi and separate shower. Three additional spacious bedrooms and a full hall bath with dual sinks complete the upper level. And while this home carries the warmth and character of the years enjoyed here, it also offers something exciting—the opportunity to make it your own. Bring your ideas, your style and your vision, and create spaces that reflect the way you want to live today. The unfinished basement provides even more possibilities. Leave it as generous storage or imagine a future recreation room, home gym, theater, workshop or additional living space. Some important investments have already been made along the way. The roof was replaced in 2018, the HVAC system in 2021, and the water heater is newer—providing added peace of mind as you focus on making the home your own. And then there's Ellicott City. Known for its strong sense of community, highly regarded Howard County schools, parks and recreation, shopping, dining and the charm of Historic Ellicott City, it's easy to understand why so many people enjoy calling this area home. Convenient access to major commuter routes also puts Baltimore, Washington, Columbia and BWI within reach. For years, this house has been more than four bedrooms and four walls. It's been home. Now it's ready for new memories, new traditions, new ideas—and someone new to love it. The next chapter is yours to write. Stop by this Sunday 9/13th 1-3 to see for yourself!
