Rare opportunity to own a piece of history in Ellicott City! This home has all the charm of an older home combined with modern features and finishes for today's living. Arriving at 935 Oella, the first thing you will notice is just what makes this home so special, the amazing views of the Patapsco River, which you can enjoy from both your front patio or upstairs deck. Stepping off the patio and through the front door you will immediately be drawn to the gleaming, newly refinished hardwood floors and freshly painted walls that carry throughout the home. The upgraded kitchen is sleek and polished, presenting white cabinets, stainless-steel appliances and granite counters. In perfect contrast is the brand-new walnut luxury vinyl plank flooring, selected for its extreme durability and moisture-resistance. This gorgeous floor carries off the kitchen and into your combination laundry and mud room, which features front-loading washer and dryer, as well as its own separate front entrance, convenient for after a walk along the river or exploring the nearby trails. On the middle floor you will discover the living room that showcases a gas-burning fireplace with brick surround, perfect for keeping cozy on winter nights. A study that could be converted to space for a third bedroom and an updated full bath with new porcelain tile floor complete this level. The upper floor encompasses the two main bedrooms that feature ample closet space and built-ins for additional storage. Why the previous owners loved living here: "We love being able to walk to Main Street, or just walk along the river, and simply look out the window and see and hear the river after a rain. I love sitting on our upstairs deck overlooking the Patapsco, talking to neighbors who walk by, enjoying the history of the area and knowing we live in a house where families have lived for 200 years, walking barefoot on the wood floors as they reflect the beautiful afternoon sun, and rolling over in bed in the morning and looking out the window at the river. I love seeing the Great Blue Heron in the river as I walk to and from my car, the osprey on the old oak tree, or the fox and deer walking through the shadows out our backdoor in the evenings. I love the peace of sitting on the deck in the late afternoon light, watching the shadows dance on the river. Come visit." See the video walkthrough at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XkxpuYxMx4
