Welcome to 11049 Wood Elves...a truly exceptional, well-maintained and thoughtfully updated home in the highly sought after Hobbits Glen golf course community of Columbia. This neighborhood is a tranquil area with several forested pathways, rolling hills, winding streets, lovely gardens, nearby restaurant and friendly neighbors.
The modern style home is sited on a 1/3 acre pie-shaped lot, with a wide 135 foot road frontage and sloping in back into a wooded protected wetland with stream. Surrounding the home are picturesque garden beds with about 100 varieties of ornamental and natural plantings--many progressively bloom from early Spring to late Fall--including four bountiful blueberry bushes in the front yard. Give away your mower -- no grass here! A variety of birds and other wildlife including deer, fox, squirrel, rabbit, turtle, and even coyote can be seen here.
A curved slate walkway leads to the inviting front porch entrance showcasing a modesty wall and composite deck with built in storage bench (2020). Flanking the red front door, natural light shines through a pair of six foot stained glass custom windows from triple skylights above into the foyer. The main floor exposes a bright and airy open feel with soaring cathedral ceilings, fresh paint (home wide, 2021), gleaming light oak floors, recessed lighting and a massive floor to ceiling, light exposed brick wall feature between the living and dining rooms. Three Pella sliders--kitchen, dining and living rooms--have retracting screens and beckon you onto the expansive rear deck complete with a 20 foot Sunsetter power awning (2020) and a panorama of nature's best.
The completely updated chef kitchen features granite counters, subway tile backsplash, soft close 42 inch white cabinetry, large pantry, Jenn-Air gas stove with dual convection oven, stainless GE fridge and quiet Bosch dishwasher. A novel solar tube floods the area with natural light from the roof. A secluded main level owner suite highlights a cathedral ceiling, two extensible closet systems (2021), new louver doors (2020), and private rear deck thru another Pella slider. The suite hall provides access to the attic. Upgrades include insulated ceiling hatch with integrated steel ladder, humidity and temp controlled power ventilator, and bright LED lighting (2020). The bright and welcoming en suite bath has an elevated, double sink, solid surface countertop vanity w/matching triple medicine cabinets (2020) and a soaking tub with shelf and skylight above. A powder room, with a whole house fan in the ceiling nearby, and a second bedroom (or optional home office) with built in shelving and triple floor to ceiling windows complete the main level.
The stairway to the lower lever is remodeled and now carpeted (2021). Ceramic tile flooring flows throughout the lower level that features a recreation room, two bedrooms, full bath, large laundry room, storage and 2-car, side-entry garage. The walk-out level recreation room offers a triple panel Pella sliding door for access to an under deck concrete patio and stairs to a lower level slate patio. A full-glass pocket door and three built-in Birch veneer bookcases were added as part of the stairway remodel (2021). The brightly lit laundry has a utility sink and large work surface above the appliances. One lower bedroom was fitted with a three foot deep work surface and soft close 42 inch white cabinetry above--a great hobby space. The garage was painted, relit with several large LED ceiling lights and provides white melamine shelving and white pegboard for storage (2020).
The HVAC system (gas heat with electric A/C) and radon system are recent (ca. 2016-2018). The new 50-year roof was installed in late 2018 and upgraded color-matched gutters with screens were added in 2021.
