8517 ELLICOTT VIEW RD, ELLICOTT CITY, MD 21043

🏡 TAKE ANOTHER LOOK—THIS HOME MAY MAKE MORE SENSE NOW. A new market price + potential seller assistance toward a 2-1 interest rate buydown could change the numbers—and possibly put this Ellicott City home within reach. Sometimes you find a home you really like, but the numbers just don't quite work. **What if they could?** With a new market price and the potential for seller assistance toward a 2-1 interest rate buydown, qualified buyers may have an opportunity to reduce their interest rate—and monthly principal and interest payment—during the first two years of the loan. If a 2-1 buydown isn't what you need, other seller assistance toward allowable closing costs may be considered, subject to the terms of an accepted offer and loan guidelines. So if you've seen this home before, it might be time to see it differently. Some homes are designed to impress you for a moment. Others have a way of making you imagine a life there. Tucked into the Autumn Oaks community of Ellicott City near the cul-de-sac, this traditional four-bedroom home has been the backdrop for years of everyday moments, celebrations, holidays and memories. Now it's ready for someone new to begin their own chapter. Step through the front door into a two-story foyer and 2,554 square feet of above-grade living space. Formal living and dining rooms offer plenty of room for gatherings, while the heart of the home is just beyond—the kitchen and casual dining area opening to a comfortable family room with a wood-burning fireplace. Picture chilly fall evenings by the fire, Sunday afternoons at home and friends gathered around the kitchen. The main level also features something today's lifestyle calls for—a dedicated home office—plus a convenient laundry room and powder room. Outside, the composite deck overlooks an extra-large, private backyard with room for cookouts, gardening, outdoor games, pets or simply enjoying your morning coffee. Upstairs, the primary suite features a walk-in closet and private bath with a jetted soaking tub and separate shower. Three additional spacious bedrooms and a full hall bath with dual sinks complete the upper level. And here's where you get to dream a little. This home gives you the opportunity to bring your own ideas, style and vision. The unfinished basement offers even more possibilities, future recreation room, home gym, theater, workshop or additional living space. Important improvements have already been made, including a roof replaced in 2018, HVAC system in 2021 and a newer water heater. And then there's Ellicott City known for its strong sense of community, highly regarded Howard County schools, parks and recreation, shopping, dining and the charm of Historic Ellicott City, with convenient access to Baltimore, Washington, Columbia and BWI. For years, this house has been more than four bedrooms and four walls. It's been home. ❤️ Now there's a new market price, potential seller assistance and a new opportunity to make it yours. Maybe the house didn't change. Maybe the opportunity did. Come take another look. Your next chapter could start here. 🏡Open Saturday 9/26th & Sunday 9/27th 12-2.
