8517 Ellicott View Rd, Ellicott City, MD 21043

Property Description

There’s something special about coming home to a quiet neighborhood, pulling into your own two-car garage, and knowing you have room to settle in, spread out, and simply enjoy being home. Tucked into the Autumn Oaks community of Ellicott City, close to the cul-de-sac, this traditional four-bedroom home offers 2,554 square feet of above-grade living space and a floor plan that seems to understand how life really happens. Step through the front door and the two-story foyer welcomes you in. The formal living and dining rooms are ready for holiday dinners, celebrations, and those occasions when everyone gathers around the table. But chances are, everyday life will happen just beyond them. The kitchen and casual dining area open to the family room, where a wood-burning fireplace becomes the backdrop for chilly fall evenings, Sunday afternoons, and quiet nights at home. Just outside, the composite deck extends your living space into an extra-large, private backyard—plenty of room for summer cookouts, a garden, outdoor fun, or simply a peaceful place to sit with your morning coffee. And because today's home needs to do a little bit of everything, there's a dedicated office on the main level when you need a quiet place to work, along with the convenience of a main-level laundry room and powder room. At the end of the day, head upstairs to the primary suite with its walk-in closet and private bath featuring a soaking tub and separate shower. Three additional spacious bedrooms and a full bath with dual sinks provide plenty of room for family, guests, hobbies, or whatever the next chapter of life brings. Downstairs, the unfinished basement is a blank canvas. Maybe someday it's a recreation room, home gym, theater, workshop, or additional living space. For now, there's plenty of storage and plenty of possibilities. Some of the less glamorous—but very important—things have already been taken care of, too. The roof was replaced in 2018, the HVAC system in 2021, and the water heater is newer, offering added peace of mind for the next owner. And then there’s the location.... Ellicott City continues to be a sought-after place to call home, known for its strong sense of community, highly regarded Howard County schools, historic charm, parks and recreation, and the shops and restaurants of Historic Ellicott City. Autumn Oaks gives you the neighborhood setting you want while keeping everyday conveniences within easy reach. Whether you're heading toward Baltimore, Washington, Columbia, or BWI, convenient access to major commuter routes makes getting where you need to go that much easier. Shopping, dining, recreation, and everyday necessities are all nearby—yet when you arrive home, you can leave the hustle and bustle behind. This isn't a house that tells you how you have to live. It simply gives you the space, location, and possibilities to make it your own—and a wonderful place to begin your next chapter in Ellicott City. Come see for yourself!
