Who knows the home better than the original owners who have loved this home for 23 years
What we love about our home!
When we found our home at 5615 Roundtree Lane we knew it would be a great place to raise our family! We loved how spacious it was including large sized bedrooms, great storage and a big level back yard for our children and their friends to play in.
The smaller neighborhood was perfect for getting to know our neighbors and to take nice walks on long evenings. Riding bikes on the streets is a pleasure. We have a really lovely community feel that we will miss. It also has plenty of parking spaces with a two car garage and additional street parking for guests.
Since we have lived here we have been thrilled with all the new developments that have happened in the area. Columbia Crossings is so convenient and offers many retail options including Target, Old Navy, Dicks Sporting Goods, Toys R Us and many more. Wegmans is a delight to shop at and we also frequent Trader Joes and Cosco. Blandair Park is the newest addition to the Howard County Parks and its just a short ride away. Our perfect location affords us a quick commute to Baltimore, Washington or Fort Meade and a quick journey to BWI too.
What we love about our home is enjoying all the natural light that streams in through the many windows and spending so much time out on the beautiful and large screened porch. We also love cozying up to the warm wood burning fireplace in the colder months. We really like that the bedrooms are all on the same level and the cozy basement is great for family movie time! The open floor plan provides the opportunity to be with family and friends on the main level and is a great space for entertaining.
The house has many improvements including a fenced in level back yard, a new HVAC unit, wood floors, granite countertops, a partially finished basement, large screened porch, new sump pump with battery back up, updated kitchen appliances, new carpeting, fresh paint, new garage door, ceiling fans and new top quality Thompson Creek windows.
We use Baltimore Gas & Electric and our utility costs are very good averaging between $200-250 per month. Our new gas-insulated windows help keep the costs down. We are on public water.
Our neighborhood Longridge Knolls is great for conversing with friendly people, yearly cul-de-sac get-togethers and walk-abouts. It is also convenient to many bike and walking paths in the area.
Some of the things we love about living in Columbia are the excellent schools, the diverse community, the convenience to shopping, parks, restaurants, libraries and top notch medical care including Howard County General Hospital and many urgent care centers. We also love the multitude of programs available for all ages including theater, sports, concerts and educational classes including those at Howard Community College.
Some of our favorite restaurants in the area are T-Bonz, a friendly and cozy pub, LeeLynn’s on 108 for great crab cakes, Eggspectations for brunch and Pasta Blitz for Italian dishes and pizza. Other convenient restaurants provide a variety of food choices including Indian, French, Mexican and Mediterranean cuisine. The grocery store we use the most is the Giant on Centre Park Drive. It is less than five minutes away and has most everything we need. We also like to shop at the new Wegmans which has an abundance of wonderful items and a cafe. There is also a Whole Foods nearby as well as Safeway and Food Lion.
We moved to Howard County because it is near two major cities which provides many good employment opportunities. It is also close enough to the beach/mountains for vacations and the schools are top notch. We enjoy the many amenities and activities that this county provides. It truly is a wonderful place to live!
