Welcome to this stunning stone-front Colonial nestled in Woodstock’s desirable The Preserve At Marriotts Ridge community of Howard County, where timeless architecture, refined finishes, and exceptional indoor-outdoor living come together. A welcoming front porch and elegant French door entry introduce the sophisticated interior, where soaring ceilings, gorgeous hardwoods, and thoughtfully designed living spaces create an impressive sense of arrival. At the heart of the home is the gourmet kitchen, beautifully appointed with a striking chevron-pattern backsplash, high-end stainless-steel appliances, custom cabinetry with glass-front display cabinets, pendant lighting, a spacious center island with breakfast bar, a pantry, and quartz counters. The kitchen provides direct access to the two-car garage, and inviting breakfast room, where a picture window fills the space with natural light and offers seamless access to the expansive deck. Open to the kitchen, the impressive two-story family room features a soaring ceiling, dramatic Palladian window, and a double-sided gas-burning fireplace designed to enhance both indoor and outdoor entertainment. The formal dining room offers an elegant setting for special occasions with crown molding and recessed lighting, while the private office features crown molding and French door entry. A sun-drenched sunroom showcases abundant natural light, transom windows, and an effortless connection to the home's main living spaces. A main-level bedroom suite provides exceptional flexibility, complete with crown molding and a private en-suite featuring ceramic tile and a glass-enclosed walk-in shower. A convenient mudroom with ample storage and a powder room completes the main level. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite provides a luxurious retreat with crown molding, gorgeous hardwood flooring, and a French door entry to the beautifully appointed en-suite. The spa-inspired bath features a dual vanity, soaking tub, glass-enclosed walk-in shower, and generous walk-in closet. Three additional bedrooms feature plush carpeting, including two with access to a shared dual-entry bath, while an additional hall bath serves the upper-level sleeping quarters. The fully finished lower level expands the home's living and entertaining possibilities with versatile space ideal for a home gym, media room, or game area. A wet bar adds convenience for entertaining, while a private bedroom with walk-in closet and full bath with dual vanity and walk-in shower creates an ideal guest or au pair suite. Outdoor living is equally impressive.
