Offering nearly 1,900 square feet across four levels, this beautifully refreshed home combines modern updates with classic Columbia charm. It features three bedrooms upstairs plus a finished basement bedroom that can serve as a guest room, home office, or private retreat, along with two and a half baths and generous living areas throughout. Filled with natural light from its end-unit design, The Balcony House offers a private balcony overlooking a peaceful, tree-lined green space, a front patio with a storage shed and room for BBQ or outdoor seating, and lush green grass surrounding the home—perfect for outdoor play or relaxing in the fresh air. As an end unit, you’ll appreciate added privacy, side windows, and serene views of the open greenery that make this home truly special. Perfectly located just minutes from Columbia Gym, Fairway Hills Golf Club, Wilde Lake trails, and The Mall in Columbia, you’ll enjoy convenient access to recreation, fitness, and dining options right at your doorstep. Set within one of Howard County’s top-rated school districts, the home is near Clarksville Elementary School, Harpers Choice Middle School, and Wilde Lake High School, with multiple daycares and preschools within five minutes. Everyday essentials like Safeway, Starbucks, Howard County General Hospital, and Howard Community College are all nearby, while major routes including US-29 and MD-32 provide easy commutes to Baltimore and DC. With its flexible four-bedroom layout, private green space, serene balcony views, and unbeatable Columbia location, The Balcony House offers the perfect blend of comfort, lifestyle, and community appeal. The HOA provides extensive coverage that simplifies homeownership, including exterior maintenance, master insurance, lawn care, snow removal, pest control, water, sewer, professional management, common area maintenance, and reserve funds. Because exterior insurance is included under the master policy, homeowners typically only need a small interior policy—often around $300 per year—which can significantly reduce personal insurance costs while bundling many major homeownership expenses and helping maintain the community’s long-term value.
