Presiding over 7-acres and sited on one of the most premier lots in Howard County, this beautiful property combines the beauty and richness of nature with historic charm and modern luxury. The architectural farmhouse style incorporates a stone and stucco exterior with exposed wood headers, blue stone window sills and wrap-around front and back porches that all fit perfectly with the peaceful surroundings. A private entry drive takes you past a family of duck swimming in the pond before you arrive at a generous circular drive and parking for sixteen. A detached barn-like stone garage has a bonus finished upper level with a breezeway connecting the main house clad in stucco. The quintessential covered front porch welcomes guests to enter and decompress. Inside, there is a center foyer and hall sided by a banquet-sized dining room with two large fireplaces that flank the opening into an oval library with custom built-ins, cove lighting and a herringbone wood floor. The private wing that follows is host to a main level ensuite bedroom and den with French doors that open to a rear covered porch. The foyer and center hall unfold into a spacious eat-in kitchen with a commanding center island. The central kitchen is outfitted with pine cabinetry, professional stainless appliances, a peninsula breakfast bar with prep sink, and cased openings at all four corners that lead to the family gathering room, walk-in pantry and mud room. Tucked into a secondary wing is a small office, nurse station, and a large office with several built-in desks and a fireplace that could become the formal living room. There are two upper levels, seven bedrooms, six full bathrooms, four half bathrooms, three laundry centers and nine fireplaces in this beautifully remodeled and expanded estate home with over 8,000 square feet of finished living space. Cast your vision and discover endless lifestyle options and endless entrepreneurial opportunities that are possible with this property already primed and ready to launch with so many features and amenities already in place. Imagine a winery, bed and breakfast, Air B & B, next level living, and so much more that would thrive in this bucolic setting!
