About This Home

As of August 2021

Sited on a majestic corner entrance in the premier western Howard County community of Country Springs, this distinctive property boasts a custom-built all brick estate home with over 6,300 sf of sun drenched living spaces, extraordinary indoor and outdoor entertaining spaces and dozens of custom finishes.

The charm of the home begins with a stone front porch, stately columns, and a travertine edge covered porch. First impressions! The main entry leads to a sunken foyer and innovative circular stairway with an impressive view to the pool and backyard amenities. Step up to the formal living and dining rooms accented by extensive moldings and finishes along with one of three working masonry fireplaces, topped off with fabulous views. The open kitchen/family room design is perfect for everyday living and entertaining thanks to a smooth flow and connection to both inside and outside spaces. The main level with soaring 9.5 foot ceilings is complete with added conveniences including a secondary front entrance to a mudroom, another half bath on the main level as well as a private office and second stairway off the great room. A gorgeous owner’s suite anchors the upper level. You’ll love the closet space, built-in safe, luxury bath with separate jetted tub and walk-in shower, sitting area, vaulted ceiling and french doors to a private balcony with a swing hammock and picturesque view. Three more spacious bedrooms, two additional full baths and laundry workroom complete this well designed and comfortable level. The fully finished lower level offers more than you can imagine. A 9’ wet bar features custom cabinetry, a wine fridge and dishwasher. The brick fireplace anchors one of three flat screen tv spaces. Artist commissioned paintings will warm the hearts of family or guests, including a bear cave under the stairs! This level not only doubles your indoor entertainment potential, another full bath, potential bedroom, storage spaces and external stairs to the garage provide you with the extras needed to maximize the functionality of your home.

As you make your way outdoors, prepare to be astounded! This private oasis delivers unparalleled opportunities to relax, entertain and staycation a few steps from three distinct entry points including two sets of french doors. Dip your toes in the award-winning saltwater pool with waterfall which serves as the centerpiece that connects numerous stone and paver patios, each with their own sitting areas, an oversized stone fire pit, extensive professional hardscape/landscape and sound system. With privacy top of mind, berms were added to isolate your outdoor entertaining areas on this 3.10-acre property. A complete outdoor oasis!

You and your guests will treasure every minute spent and you’ll make years of memories at this impeccable home sweet home. Don’t miss it in this very active market.
