AN EXTRAORDINARY AMOUNT OF HOME FOR THE MONEY What ultimately separates 8502 Dark Hawk Circle from so many other properties is the sheer amount it offers in a single home. Approximately 5,500 square feet. 5–6 bedrooms. 5½ bathrooms. Private in-law/au pair accommodations. Multiple living and entertaining spaces. Two recently installed HVAC systems. Beautifully refreshed kitchen. Fresh interior paint throughout. Refinished hardwood flooring. Luxury carpeting and custom tilework. Updated lighting and fixtures. Recently resurfaced deck. Two-car garage. Oversized corner lot. And a location within walking distance of neighborhood schools. For buyers searching for more space, the numbers alone are impressive. But the true value of this property is found in how that space can be lived in. There is room here for family to come together without feeling crowded. There is room for grandparents or extended family to have privacy of their own. There is room for overnight guests, home offices, recreation, hobbies and entertaining. There is room for today's needs—and flexibility for whatever tomorrow may bring. That combination is increasingly rare. At a time when buyers throughout Howard County are often asked to compromise—choosing between size and condition, location and affordability, or privacy and convenience—8502 Dark Hawk Circle offers a refreshing alternative. Here, you don't have to sacrifice the space you want to obtain the updates you need. You don't have to give up multigenerational flexibility to remain in an established Columbia community. And you don't have to cross the million-dollar threshold to find a truly substantial home. A residence approaching 5,500 square feet with this many bedrooms and baths, this degree of flexibility, extensive recent updating and an oversized homesite represents an increasingly uncommon opportunity in Howard County at this price point. 8502 Dark Hawk Circle isn't simply about having a larger home. It is about having more room for the people you love, more flexibility for the way you live and more value for your investment. More space. More comfort. More possibilities. And an extraordinary amount of home for the money. Welcome home.

Built by Toll Brothers, this stately colonial sits on 1.17 pristine acres in Glenelg, holding the widest frontage in the community— a lot position that simply cannot be replicated. A two-story foyer with dual staircase opens to a two-story family room filled with natural light. The gourmet kitchen anchors the main level with a center island and sunny breakfast area, flowing to formal living and dining rooms and a private main-level study. Off the side of the home, the conservatory rises to a 12-foot ceiling and enjoys its own dedicated HVAC zone — a true four-season room, comfortable in January and August alike, and the space this home's owners return to year after year. Upstairs, five generously sized bedrooms each enjoy a private full bath — no shared baths, no morning negotiations, and a rare configuration at any price point. The primary suite was taken well beyond the builder's standard offering, with a custom bath rising to a 12-foot ceiling that brings a sense of volume and light you simply don't find in a bath of this kind. The full walkout basement is already roughed-in for a full bath, and the first-floor HVAC was deliberately sized to condition the lower level — meaning the space can be finished without adding equipment. The cabinetry for the basement bath and bar is on hand and conveys with the home, taking a significant line item off any finishing budget.Outdoors, the living space extends across a maintenance-free AZEK deck overlooking a paver patio below, with mature privacy on all sides and beyond. A step-free paver walkway wraps the home to the lower-level entrance, offering true single-level access to the basement A whole-house standby generator keeps the property running through Howard County storms without interruption. Water quality throughout the home is managed by a whole-house treatment system paired with a salt-free conditioner — no salt to haul, no brine discharge, no maintenance routine — and a reverse osmosis system delivering drinking water at the kitchen tap. The result is clean, scale-free water at every fixture and appliance in the house, protecting plumbing and water heaters while removing the guesswork that comes with any private water supply. The grounds are maintained by a 13-zone automatic irrigation system, app-controlled from anywhere — adjust schedules, skip a cycle ahead of rain, or run a zone from your phone whether you're across town or across the country. On 1.17 acres, it's the difference between a lawn that stays green and a weekend spent dragging hoses. The address sits five minutes from high rated schools. Quiet Glenelg countryside with quick access to Routes 32, 70, and 97 places Columbia, Ellicott City, Baltimore, and the D.C. corridor all within comfortable reach.
