Here is what the Sellers want you to know.
When we found our home at 12227 Mount Albert Road, in the Woodmark community of Ellicott City, we were drawn to it for several reasons. The spacious neighborhood, unique houses, and great schools. These have all been valuable aspects that contributed to a positive living experience. Having a spacious neighborhood provides room to roam and a sense of openness, while the unique custom-built houses add character and individuality to the community. Great schools were a significant factor for our family, as they offered quality education and contributed to the overall desirability of the area. There are so many features and attributes we love about our home! One thing is having ample entertaining space which is wonderful for hosting gatherings, parties, and events, allowing us to create memorable experiences with friends and family year round. The addition of a pool provides a recreational outlet, a place to relax, and a great focal point for social activities during the warmer months. The ability to go for a hike or walk with the family in the backyard to the neighboring county park land or along community roadways is a bonus as well.
The multi-level living space serves many different functions and provides distinct areas for various activities and offers privacy to different members of the household.
This home has not only met our practical needs but also aligned with our desires for leisure, relaxation, and personal space. We have upgraded most all of four floors of the house. The upgrades include a new roof, insulation, furnaces & AC's, well equipment, full kitchen, remodel, bathroom remodel, relocation of laundry room, new flooring, addition of 3500sf patio, new decking & railings, granite counters in secondary kitchen, theater room, bathrooms & office, new plumbing fixtures, gas fireplace, pool plaster & tile, bluestone patio & walkway, replaced most landscaping, and so much more! In our community of Woodmark we are known for an annual picnic by the lake, Halloween parade & trick or treat hay ride, friendly neighbors, gatherings by the fire pit, and dinner with friends on our decks.
Some of the things we love about Ellicott City is the rural feel with close proximity to shopping, restaurants, entertainment, biking, hiking, farms & cultural activities. You are just 10 minutes to Clarksville, Rt. 40 & Turf Valley areas for grocery stores, casual & fine dining, dry cleaning, coffee shops, salons, hardware stores, Patapsco State Park, Benson Branch Park & historic Ellicott City. Downtown Columbia is a short 15 minute drive, Olney 25 minutes, Frederick 40 minutes. Some of our favorite restaurants include Grille 620, River Hill Grill, Ernesto's, Paper Lantern, Floyd’s Crossroads Pub, Uma Uma & Katana. But the choices are endless and multiple delivery options available. The grocery store I most go to is Harris Teeter in Turf Valley and H-Mart in Ellicott City. Other favorites include Roots in Clarksville, Sprouts in Ellicott City, Whole Foods, Costco and Wegman's in Columbia, and Giant in Clarksville. “We moved to Ellicott City, MD in Howard County for the open rural feel with in-town amenities, it's historic charm and close proximity to Baltimore and DC.
