GORGEOUS 4th-level condo in the ESTEEMED Ellicott's Retreat 55+ community. This condo has been lovingly cared for and tended to. From the moment you walk in, you will feel the sophistication, elegance and secluded nature of this very special condo! Overlooking a blanket of green trees below, you can look out above the treetops and see for miles! Inside, this beautiful home gets plenty of afternoon natural light, with an entire wall spanning the length of the condo that overlooks trees providing an extensive skyline view and sunset! A sleek and functional Kitchen is any chef's delight with SS appliances, granite countertops, 42" cabinets, and dreamy-colored subway tile backsplash across both walls. The kitchen sink and some counter space faces out to the LR and has amazing views of the tree tops and skyline, also looking out to the living and dining areas. A private balcony off the living and dining area shares the same peaceful and priceless view! Upgraded lighting fixtures in the kitchen and dining areas are both rustic and contemporary. In the primary bedroom, the builder floors have been replaced with wood flooring! Lots of sunlight streams through these windows, which also provide the coveted treetop and skyline view! Dual sinks in the primary bath and 2 large closets complete this primary ensuite! The secondary bedroom is attached to a full bathroom with a tub/shower, and this bathroom also connects to a hallway toward the condo entry. Secondary bedroom has plush low-pile carpet, an attractive neutral light color and pretty and seldom found pattern! The secondary bedroom also boasts a BONUS room, which is currently used as a home gym, but could function as extra closet/storage space as well. There are closets everywhere in this condo, so bring everything you own! Washer and dryer in unit is just outside of the secondary bedroom. But wait! There's MORE.
