About This Home

Welcome to 8617 Sassafras Court — the kind of home people wait for in Kings Contrivance. This beautifully maintained 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath home offers nearly 4,200 sq. ft. of space, with 3,873 sq. ft. finished, giving you room to live, work, play, and breathe. The layout flows effortlessly, with natural light pouring into every corner. The lower level is a standout: a spacious bonus room, a kitchenette with mini fridge, and a full unfinished storage room that’s perfect for holiday décor, tools, gym equipment — or that Costco haul you swore you’d never buy again. Upstairs, the primary suite feels like your own private retreat, featuring a deep soaking tub, separate shower, and generous closet space. Every bedroom gives you flexibility: guests, office, kids, in-laws... take your pick. Located in Kings Contrivance, one of Columbia’s most coveted communities, this home gives you access to endless walking trails, pools, playgrounds, and everything the CPRA lifestyle offers. And of course, you’re in Howard County, known for top schools, parks, and convenience to everywhere you want to be. Homes like this don’t come around often — especially in this neighborhood.
