Rustic Sophistication Meets Modern Charm! The perfect blend of contemporary and classic living, nestled just outside of Baltimore, is an oasis that is Oella of Old Ellicott City. Conveniently located to Annapolis, D.C., and all three major airports, this stunning mill home offers a unique blend of charm, elegance, modernity, and serenity. As you enter this enchanting and surprisingly large house, you are greeted by locally quarried stone walls, wood plank, and beam ceilings, and log and chink walls, a quality representative of a more substantive era in home construction. As you explore the rest of the home, you will discover the contemporary fixtures, appliances, and flooring that complement this extraordinary house's authentic character and warmth. When asked how they would describe their 20 years in this iconic 18th-century stone home, the owners say, "We were in love at first sight." The house has provided dozens of wonderful memories through the decades since -- springtime walks along the Patapsco River, the Trolley Trail, and Main Street, summer dinner parties on the stone terrace, snowy Christmases by the fireplace, seasons of children's smiles and laughter, and all of the years in between. The hunt for authentic features to blend and soften the home's rustic charm began on that first day, and it inspired the pair around the world to identify stone flooring, decorative tile, and unique kitchen cabinetry from Germany. They spared little expense to find just the right furniture and finishes to make each room and every space their own and continued each year to maintain and update the home systems, which include a 4-year HVAC, two-year roof and gutters, and two-year replacement window systems. They poured even more of themselves into the rear landscaping and hardscaping, carving bluestone and slate patios into the hillside setting and adding many lush perennial plantings. "We can’t wait to see who falls in love next!†Polished to perfection as a rare gem, the home is highlighted by its custom indoor living and terraced outdoor landscaping. Lush greenery and entertainment areas, including corn hole and fire pits, hot tub, and custom lighting, offer breathtaking views. Nature lovers delight at the perfect outdoor dining and gardening areas, ideal for play or simply soaking in the natural beauty of the Patapsco Valley. A stroll along the picturesque Patapsco River leads to Main Street in Old Ellicott City. Explore locally owned shops, restaurants, and cultural attractions. Don't miss your chance to own this oasis and be a part of one of Maryland's most charming and inviting communities! |
