Property Description

Offer deadline Monday 4/20 at Noon. Welcome home to 8434 Governors Run, where everyone will want to gather for life’s big and small moments. This remarkable residence has been thoughtfully enhanced over the years with entertainment in mind and offers approximately 4,900 square feet of finished living space in the desirable Governors Run community. Idyllically situated on nearly half an acre, the home backs to a protected wooded reserve with walking trails leading to Patapsco Valley State Park and historic Old Ellicott City. At the heart of the home, the gourmet kitchen is designed to impress, featuring double ovens, a gas range, a spacious center island with seating, and a walk-in pantry. Elevated and wrapped in lush natural surroundings, the remarkable 3 season porch evokes the feeling of a private treehouse nestled within the forest canopy. An oversized dining room opens to a custom deck, beautifully extending the living and entertaining space outdoors. A dedicated private office and mudroom completes the main level. Upstairs, the primary suite is designed as a luxurious retreat, complete with its own gas fireplace, a spa-inspired bath with an oversized walk-in shower, and generous walk-in closets. Three additional bright, spacious bedrooms are served by a convenient Jack-and-Jill bath. The fully finished walk-out lower level is an exceptional extension of the home also designed for entertaining and relaxation. A bonus room, a home gym, recreation room, and ample storage round out the lower level. Outside, the backyard truly shines with extensive landscaping and hardscaping, offering a fully fenced backyard, a heated pool with a custom waterfall, a stone pool deck with a fireplace, a changing room, and a cleverly integrated storage shed. It is an ideal setting for summer parties, relaxing weekends, and evenings spent outdoors. The backyard has immediate access to a trail, where an easy stroll leads to the shops and restaurants of historic Old Ellicott City, while the opposite direction opens the door to Patapsco State Park. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to own a truly special home in one of Ellicott City’s most sought-after neighborhoods.
