Welcome to your dream home in the heart of Columbia! An exquisitely updated classic contemporary nestled in the iconic Tidesfall community on Wilde Lake. From the moment you arrive, you'll feel the calm and elegance this home offers, starting with a private gate entry to a front courtyard framed by an overhead trellis, the soothing sound of a water fountain, a peaceful rock garden, and a deck that's perfect for weekend grilling or evening unwinding. The white stucco exterior and interior white walls add a modern yet timeless charm, reminiscent of homes you'd find featured in Architectural magazines. Step inside, and you're greeted by soaring ceilings, bright white walls, and an open layout that brings in natural light and sweeping lake views. The updated eat-in kitchen is both stylish and functional, with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and space for casual meals. Just off the kitchen, the separate dining room-complete with built-ins-overlooks the spacious living room, where 10-foot ceilings, a cozy gas fireplace, and floor-to-ceiling windows and glass sliders invite you to take in the beauty of Wilde Lake from your own private deck. Upstairs, the primary bedroom suite is a serene retreat with wide water views and custom Hunter-Douglas shades that let you wake up with the sunrise or sleep in with privacy. Two additional bedrooms offer plenty of flexibility-perfect for guests, a home office, or both, with one room overlooking the peaceful courtyard below. The split lower level gives you even more space to relax or entertain, featuring a generous family room with another gas fireplace, a separate laundry room with ample storage, and sliders leading to a private patio just steps from the water. Living here means you're just a short walk toThe Mall in Columbia with shopping, dining, and entertainment, a short drive to the booming downtown Merriweather District, plus easy access to major highways for commuting to Ft. Meade, NSA, Baltimore, or Washington, D.C. This is a rare chance to own a waterfront home in Howard County, where fishing, biking, and nature trails are part of everyday life. Come experience the peaceful elegance and unmatched setting of this special home-you may never want to leave.
