About the Listing RMA1 - 76244,2418
Welcome to The Birches, one of Columbia's best-kept secrets. As one of the original subdivisions within James Rouse's visionary planned community of Columbia, The Birches is nestled among towering trees and winding streets surrounding Wilde Lake. This beloved enclave offers a sense of character, community, and architectural distinction rarely found today. Here, no two homes are alike. Thoughtfully designed custom residences blend seamlessly into the natural landscape, creating a neighborhood that feels both private and connected. This beautifully renovated contemporary home offers over 3,000 square feet of living space across three finished levels, featuring 4 bedrooms and exceptional attention to detail throughout. The light-filled main level showcases an open floor plan with newer luxury vinyl wide-plank flooring for modern living and entertaining. The stunning eat-in kitchen features high-end cabinetry, quartz countertops, a large custom island with bar seating, a wine fridge, stainless steel appliances, a farmhouse sink with instant hot water, and an impressive wall of additional cabinetry and counter space extending into the dining area. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the spacious family room, creating the perfect gathering space for family and friends. Just off the kitchen, you'll find a cozy living room highlighted by a wood-burning fireplace and exposed wood ceiling beams. A renovated powder room (with heated flooring) and a convenient laundry/mudroom with garage access complete the main level. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite features a beautifully renovated bath with dual shower heads. Three additional generously sized bedrooms share a renovated hall bath with dual vanities. Outside, enjoy a private, professionally landscaped setting overlooking Wilde Lake. Outdoor improvements include a Trex deck, covered patio, and extended hardscape patio, providing multiple spaces for relaxing and entertaining. An expansive front patio further enhances the home's outdoor living areas. Completing the property is an oversized two-car garage. Enjoy morning walks around the lake, peaceful wooded views, and the convenience of being minutes from downtown Columbia, Merriweather Post Pavilion, restaurants, shops, and major commuter routes (Rt. 29, Rt. 100, Rt. 32, and I-95). The yearly HOA Fee (CPRA- Columbia Association) offers many amenities, including nearby walking paths, playgrounds, open green spaces, and discounted memberships to gyms, pools, and golf courses. Recent updates include fresh paint ('26), refrigerator ('25), washer/dryer ('25), HVAC ('23), Water Heater ('23), Dining Room built-ins ('22), Kitchen Island ('22), Wood Flooring ('21). Rarely does an opportunity arise to own a thoughtfully updated home in one of Columbia's most desirable and architecturally distinctive neighborhoods.
