Located in one of Howard County’s most sought-after planned communities, this home offers modern interiors, high-end finishes and an attractive backyard. The Maple Lawn home, built in 2017, contains five bedrooms, four and a half bathrooms and more than 4,000 square feet of attractive living space.

The home opens to an expansive foyer with a living room and formal dining room on either side. Throughout the main level, you’ll find crown molding, plantation shutters and wood flooring. French doors open to a private office, perfect for working from home. The family room, at the back of the house, is a highlight. It features coffered ceilings, built-ins, and a gas fireplace. The space seamlessly opens to a nicely updated eat-in kitchen with a massive island, stainless steel appliances and a butler’s pantry.

Upstairs, there are four bedrooms and three full bathrooms. A large primary suite features two walk-in closets and a luxurious en suite bathroom. There’s also a convenient second-floor laundry room.

The finished lower level provides additional living space, including a large recreation room. A den/extra bedroom, a full bathroom, and storage space complete the lower level.

Outside, enjoy a beautifully designed patio, with a pergola, gas fire pit and professional landscaping. There’s also an attached two-car garage.

The home is located in Maple Lawn, a vibrant planned community in Fulton. Community amenities include a clubhouse, outdoor pool, fitness center, tennis and pickleball courts, and playgrounds.

If you need to commute, downtown Baltimore is about 30 minutes away, and Washington, D.C., is about an hour’s drive.
