Welcome to your new low-stress, maintenance-free lifestyle. This energy-efficient LEED Gold home, a coveted end unit with a bay window and pond view in the Blue Stream community in Howard County, presents a contemporary floor plan that begins with a mudroom and flex space (gym, home office, future bedroom, etc.) on the ground floor with a walk-out to the backyard. On the next floor, a contemporary kitchen with crown molding, granite countertops, and high-end Frigidaire Professional stainless steel appliances (including double oven) intersects with an elevated deck, reading space, dining area, and spacious living/family room. Next, the primary bedroom offers cathedral ceilings, walk-in closet, and bathroom with oversized shower and soaking tub (and special garnet-bearing granite countertops). Two other well-sized bedrooms with ceiling fans share the floor. A fourth floor loft could serve as a massive office, game room, or additional bedroom with access to a roof deck, providing entertainment space and immaculate views of the pond and local wildlife. Dual zone climate control, tankless water heater (you'll never run out of hot water), bathrooms on every floor (5 total), LED lighting, and luxury vinyl plank and professionally-cleaned carpet throughout add to the rich amenities available in this home. Built in 2022, everything in this house is still new, offering peace of mind for years to come. The community center offers a beautiful pool with an outdoor grilling area, gym with free weights and cardio equipment, and meeting space. The neighborhood has multiple playgrounds, walking path around the pond, local dog park, and highly rated Howard County public schools.
