Amazing opportunity to find a like-new home at this price in Western Howard County! Welcome to Rivercrest. A lovely enclave of 12 homes on and surrounded by rolling hills and encircled by Cattail Creek, non-buildable forest conservation and open space. Nestled in the hillside, embrace the quiet and admire the protected view. Enter the large foyer flanked by a generous front office away from the conversation and a perfect oasis for those who work from home. As you make your way into the heart of the main floor you will be amazed by a breath-taking wall of windows extending from the living room with gas fireplace to the large open dining room to the peaceful built-in corner work or craft space. The magnificent kitchen is command central as the generous breakfast bar/island separates from the living space while the open floorplan welcomes multiple work stations and an unobstructed view . An abundance of cabinetry, granite counters, indirect lighting above, gourmet stainless appliances, walk-in pantry and separate reception area from the over-sized side entry garage. Access the upper level by a hidden split stairway to find a large center hall, 4 spacious bedrooms each with a private walk-in closet. The primary bedroom suite is large enough for a sitting area; spa bath with double vanity, soaking tub, shower stall and twin walk-in closets. The hall bath perfectly separates service spaces; tub/shower and w/c are private from large vanity. An amazing laundry room is tucked at the end of the hall with service tub, ample space for drying rack, a folding table and ironing/craft space. The finished lower level with large storage/utility room, wall of double hung windows and sliding glass door walk-out to the rear yard. Multi-space for gym, entertainment, powder room, secondary office or future 5th bedroom with walk-in closet and ensuite access to the powder room including rough-in for future shower.
