Description
This property is no longer available to rent or to buy. This description is from February 08, 2024
Welcome home! From the inviting covered slate front porch with swing, to the extensive rear decking with screened porch and slate patios, this home has what most owners say they would like to "add" but hardly ever get around to finishing. An extensive backyard living space includes 4 decks overlooking a large (.32 acre) fenced yard backing to a wooded patch for added privacy. Includes low maintenance Trex decking, custom stonework, and a newly renovated cedar screened porch with ceiling fan and skylight in a vaulted ceiling. Great for relaxing or entertaining. The large fenced garden area would be ideal for your homegrown vegetables and herbs. A firepit on the patio is perfect location to enjoy watching a sunset around the fire. The large built-in shed under the deck is accessible just outside the basement exit. It has double doors and will include the work bench/tables and offers plenty of dry storage and work area for hobbyists, gardeners, or outdoor furniture storage. This can all be yours in this beautifully finished Colonial with 3500 sq ft of living space! Inside the owners have made many major improvements over the past 8 years. Roof 2019, total kitchen remodel 2017, all new vinyl thermal windows 2016 to name a few. Upgrades during the remodeling included: new stainless steel kitchen appliances (2017) and the washer & dryer (replaced in 2022). There are 3 ceramic tiled bathrooms and 1 remodeled half bath. Entering the foyer from the front porch, the gleaming hardwood floors and stairway will open to the living areas. Large front living room with big windows for natural morning light. Formal dining room is between the living room and kitchen. The opening to the kitchen was widened during the remodeling to have more flow and views between rooms. The gorgeous kitchen was upgraded with wood cabinetry, granite countertops, and tiled backsplash. Some of the added features are the deep oversized sink, the center island with overhang for stools and a built in beverage refrigerator. A unique addition to the kitchen was the built-in bar height table with oversized granite top and more cabinetry. The open flow from the kitchen to family room has recessed lighting and plenty of natural light from the rear windows and french doors from the screened porch. Spacious family room features brick fireplace with mantle. From inside to the outside living space, this home is open and airy. The screened porch leads to the upper deck to the east with Trex decking and a pergola. Exiting to the westside is another open deck with stairs to the lower deck and patio. Stone walkways leading to patios and porch. Continuing inside, the lower level is finished with a huge rec room, full bath, storage/utility room, separate laundry room with sink, cabinet and counter. The laundry chute from each floor discharges directly into this room. A walk in pantry with a freezer are located at the bottom of the stairs. Upstairs there are 4 generous bedrooms all with hardwood floors and ample closets. The primary suite has a dressing area and walk in closet off the ensuite bathroom. The hall bath has beautiful ceramic tiled tub walls with glass doors and large vanity. It is obvious the owners have taken great pride in their chosen improvements. Cardinal Forest is a great community minutes to employment centers like JHUAPL, FT Meade/NSA and the BWI business district. Located halfway between Baltimore and Washington, Laurel Howard County has always been a popular choice with commuters. Surrounded by parks and minutes to the Rocky Gorge Reservoir, you can enjoy hiking, kayaking and many outdoor adventures here in the county. Maple Lawn and Columbia are minutes away and provide restaurants and shopping options. Close to I95, Rt 32, ICC and MARC train stations or check into the commuter buses that run downtown. All this and more.

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy children have been at this school for 4 years and we have had a very positive experience.We chose to move to this school pyramid because the school demographics are diverse. We have mixed race children and wanted a diverse background so that they would be surrounded by peers of all races. HES has a very good balance of children of all races, and minority representation in all areas is higher than the national averages. There is also a good mix of socio-economic diversity so that my children understand the concepts of privilege and compassion and learn how to be inclusive to people at all socio-economic levels.As for the teachers and staff, we have had wonderful support from the front office staff to the teachers to the paraeducators (counselors, special education teachers, and other support staff). My children love school, love their cohorts and love the staff. My children want to participate in many of the extracurricular activities because the school fosters a wonderful sense of community. So when there are special events outside of school hours, my children actively want to see their friends, fellow students and the staff for special events. This sense of community helps make my children enjoy the school and the atmosphere and want to learn. They have thrived in this setting. The pandemic was a very challenging time and my children had difficulty learning remotely. The teachers did a wonderful job trying to accommodate the students and families remotely in a very difficult setting. The children were so grateful to be back to in-person school and returning to school after such a challenging period only increased their desire to learn and be in school. The teachers did a really great job in transitioning the children back into in-person school, adapting to the varying degrees of learning loss and bringing the children up to speed at or above grade level.I do want to make a comment about some of the lower ratings (3 stars and 1 star). I think it is unfair for Great Schools to leave such old reviews up. All of the 3 star reviews are from 9 years ago and the 1 star review is from 10 years ago. In that time, the principal has retired and the former assistant principal is now administering the school. Many of the teachers have changed from that period, so the school is very different from when those reviews were posted. Reviews from more than 6 years ago should be limited.Parent Review1y ago - Hammond Middle School

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageEquity issues, especially regarding sexism & ableism. Needs work on communication In the administration, but other than that this school is an average middle school in HOCO. The teachers (especially in the English departments) are fantastic. Your child will be able to succeed here.Parent Review2y ago - Reservoir High School

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageCurrent junior here, reservoir has great teachers. I love almost every single one of my teachers. However, the work load is crazy high. We get a higher work load compared to places such as Hammond or Wilde lake. It’s extremely stressful to complete all of the work due to us only having 30 minutes every Wednesday to catch up with all of our work. We need a study hall class, a study hall class will catch us up and most likely improve grades.Student Review1y ago
