About This Home
As of August 2025Beautifully maintained by the original owners, this elegant Colonial is perfectly positioned on a quiet cul-de-sac in sought-after Riverwalk. Surrounded by lush landscaping and enhanced by a charming front patio (2021), the home’s curb appeal is immediately captivating. Yet what truly sets this property apart is its extraordinary setting, backing directly onto the protected woodlands of Patapsco Valley State Park. There are no direct neighbors on one side, where the protected wooded area acts as a permanent natural buffer to ensure lasting privacy.
Inside, a thoughtfully updated interior begins with a grand two-story foyer featuring gleaming hardwood floors. To the left, a formal living room welcomes guests, while to the right, the formal dining room dazzles with a crystal chandelier and elegant chair rail detailing, ideal for refined entertaining. French doors lead to the show-stopping, fully renovated (2025) eat-in kitchen, where crisp white cabinetry, quartz countertops, a center island with bar seating, stainless steel appliances, a breakfast bar, two pantries, a writing station, and a casual dining area create a space as functional as it is beautiful. The adjacent family room impresses with a soaring cathedral ceiling, Palladian windows, hardwood flooring (2023), and a cozy gas fireplace. A sun-drenched sunroom offers year-round enjoyment with skylights, charming arched windows, a sliding door (2020), and panoramic views of the peaceful, private backyard. The main level also features a full bath and a versatile study—ideal as a home office or guest bedroom—with dual access to the updated full hallway bath. A dedicated laundry room adds everyday convenience to the main level.
Upstairs, updated hardwood flooring in the hallway (2022) leads to four spacious bedrooms and two bathrooms, including a luxurious primary suite with vaulted ceilings, dual walk-in closets, and a fully updated spa-like en suite featuring a large soaking tub, separate shower, and dual sink vanity. A generous sitting room off the primary offers flexible space for a nursery, home office, or reading retreat. The fully finished walkout lower level offers incredible versatility with a large recreation room, storage areas, a private fifth bedroom, and a full bath—ideal for guests, extended family, or multi-generational living.
Outdoor living is just as impressive, featuring a maintenance-free composite deck and a screened gazebo that overlooks a spacious, tree-lined, and fully-fenced backyard complete with a curved paver patio, all set against the tranquil Patapsco Valley State Park backdrop.
