A truly special home in Clary’s Forest, offering custom details, generous living spaces, and a beautiful natural setting backing to the Middle Patuxent Preserve. Tucked into one of Columbia’s well-established and sought-after neighborhoods, this distinctive home is situated in a quiet cul-de-sac with plenty of parking, offering the feeling of being surrounded by nature while remaining close to everything that makes Columbia so convenient and desirable.
The handsome stone-front exterior is complemented by a distinctive pergola-style structure at the entry, adding architectural definition and welcome shade. A paver driveway leads to the side-entry, courtyard-style garage, creating an attractive approach to the home and a welcoming sense of arrival. The oversized three-car garage features high ceilings, abundant storage, and a laundry tub for seasonal use.
Inside, the main level features a welcoming two-story foyer, formal dining room, private office, den, and an impressive great room with soaring ceilings and a stone-front fireplace featuring a new Regency electric fireplace. The fireplace offers the option of enjoying its realistic flame display even when heat is not needed. The large kitchen has been thoughtfully renovated with natural cherry cabinetry, including glass-front doors, custom pull-outs and lighting, granite and Corian surfaces, and highly rated stainless steel appliances, including Wolf appliances with a gas cooktop, warming drawer, wall oven and microwave, along with a Sub-Zero refrigerator. A breakfast area with custom granite corner shelving overlooks the deck and beautiful lot, offering a pleasant connection to the outdoors. Hardwood floors and nine-foot ceilings add to the comfortable, substantial feel of the main level. A convenient back staircase off the laundry/mudroom provides direct access from the garage to the upper level—an especially practical feature for everyday living.
Upstairs are five bedrooms and three full baths, along with several open sitting areas and abundant closet and storage space. The spacious primary suite is particularly appealing, with sitting areas, walk-in closets, a generous bath with separate shower and oversized jetted tub, and a private sauna—a particularly distinctive feature.
The walk-out lower level offers a finished full bath, large storage closet, and plenty of unfinished space to create whatever additional living area best suits your needs—home gym, recreation room, studio, guest space, or simply terrific storage.
Outside is where this property really distinguishes itself. A beautiful Brazilian hardwood deck, tiered natural stone patios, and walkways overlook the natural landscape, with mature trees, native plantings, and a peaceful setting along the Middle Patuxent Preserve. It is a setting that offers privacy, beauty, and a wonderful connection to the outdoors.
Enjoy a peaceful, private setting while remaining remarkably close to Columbia’s many amenities—Downtown Columbia, lakes, the Columbia trail system, Merriweather Post Pavilion, restaurants, shopping, Howard Community College, Howard County General Hospital, and major commuter routes, with easy access to Baltimore, Washington, BWI Airport, and the MARC train.
For someone looking for a home with character, space, privacy, and a true connection to the outdoors—while still being close to everything Central Columbia has to offer—this is a rare opportunity.
