About This Home

As of August 2025

Sophisticated and contemporary custom-built and architecturally designed 3 bedrooms and 2 full/2 half bath brick ranch-style home with over 3,954 sq ft of finished living space in the heart of Columbia. Nestled on a grassy cul-de-sac in the revered Birches neighborhood, the property is only 2 blocks to beautiful Wilde Lake (Park) and a short distance from Lake Kittamaqundi, The Mall in Columbia, Town Center, Merriweather District, Running Brook Pool and more! The brick pathway leads guests to the welcoming double front door with slate steps and entry to the foyer with distinctive details like granite flooring and modern lighting. A light-filled living room features solid hardwood flooring, a 3-sided fireplace with brick surround, vaulted ceiling and wall of windows. The living room wraps around the fireplace for more additional seating and leads to a slider with access to the screened porch with attractive wood ceiling and skylights that overlooks the lush backyard. The large dining room with hardwood flooring has seating for up to 8 and a large pass-thru to the gourmet eat-in kitchen that features sleek custom cabinetry, granite counters, stainless steel appliances including a center island gas range with dramatic overhead vent fan. On the main level is the primary bedroom suite featuring 2 walk-in closets, a private deck, and the luxurious remodeled primary bathroom with a soaking tub and separate glass shower. The main level features 3 bedrooms plus an office/guest area, all with hardwood flooring, and a remodeled hall/guest bathroom features neutral tones and updated materials. On the lower level, there is access to the 2-car garage, a finished recreation room with windows and slider to the backyard, and plenty of storage options. The large laundry room has a front-loading washer/dryer set, folding station, and utility sink. A reconditioned bar is ready for events with family and friends and the basement powder room with its distinctively curved walls is a fun feature. Come home for the summer to this contemporary charmer and enjoy all the events and fun right in the heart of Columbia!
