Few communities deliver the kind of diversity of construction, focus on landscape architecture, and pride of ownership that can be found in the Howard County community of Forest Glen. Surrounded by Hobbits Glen Golf Course and the Middle Patuxent River, Forest Glen is the Estate-home community of which you have been seeking. Among those with the highest of elevations is this impressive, three-story, four-side brick Williamsburg Builders home with side-entry, three-car garage. The completely custom construction combines with an idyllic setting of mature, specimen trees, a re-circulating stream with waterfalls, and a view of the manicured greens of the Hobbits Glen Golf Course to bring a residence and location that will be matched by few. An elegant entry foyer with turned-stair, columned-entries, two-story ceiling heights, and second-floor overlook frame the open floor plan and the selection of natural materials and designer dcor blend attraction. Formal spaces spill into casual family areas to elevate intimate home living as well as the entertainment opportunity experience. A dramatic family room with a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace flows into a designer kitchen featuring high-end and quality improvements. The Italian Fusion marble countertops are works of art and your gourmet chef will beam with excitement at the sight of the thoughtful work-flow and placement of specialty appliances including under-counter refrigerators and built-in Miele coffee center. Glass doors lead to a rich Mahogany deck and footbridge overlooking the award-winning hardscape and landscaping featuring a running stream and waterfall. There is a built-in barbecue, a stone patio, and a play area with a trampoline. Mature trees have been well-maintained and newer planting placement of 14 redbud trees, 9 cherry trees, and burning bushes provides both strategic screening and rare views of Hobbits Glen's 13th hole. A lovely, second-floor, owners suite is highlighted by a tray ceiling and a large, en-suite bathroom featuring a Jacuzzi jetted soaking tub, large shower, and private water closet. Guest and family security are assured with a separate and secure wing that offers two guest bedrooms with an updated hall bathroom and a recently finished two-bedroom suite with a shared bathroom.
