Set within the Canbury Woods community in Howard County, this beautifully maintained colonial offers extensive updates, thoughtful design, and a setting that balances comfort with convenience. A landscaped front yard and covered front porch create an inviting first impression, setting the tone before stepping inside.
The foyer introduces the home with classic box wainscoting and leads directly into a fully renovated kitchen that serves as the heart of the main level. Designed with both function and detail in mind, it features upgraded cabinetry with specialty inserts for baking sheets and spices, soft-close drawers, granite countertops, a breakfast bar, prep sink, planning station, and casual dining space.

Off the kitchen, the expansive family room offers warmth and character with a coffered ceiling, while hickory hardwood flooring flows seamlessly through the main level, including the formal living and dining rooms. A half bath completes this level.
