11812 BRIGHT PASSAGE Columbia, MD 21044

Surrounded by nature trails and within close proximity to the Columbia Lakefront and Town Center, this property is a modern oasis nestled in the woods. It backs up to a protected nature area and is a short distance to a community pool.

Attention to detail and design is evident throughout the house, from luxurious flooring surfaces to upgraded hardware and designer LED light fixtures and switches. Over 50 recessed lights provide ample light, and the creative floor plan includes a generous amount of built-in closets, many with built-in shelving. Most windows include cordless, energy efficient honeycomb shades.

The chef's kitchen is extraordinary, with abundant storage space, high-end stainless steel appliances including a gas range and stovetop, and tiger granite surfaces including a custom-made granite table.

With 30 windows and skylights, the sunroom appears to float in the trees overlooking the Middle Patuxent Environmental Area, providing perhaps one of the best views in Columbia. Exit the sunroom to enjoy the view from the wooden deck or the paved patio, surrounded by nature. Set back from the main street, the house features natural, low-maintenance landscaping.

The living room includes a bay window and a modern 40-inch gas fireplace with internal LED lighting and a granite surround.

Featuring a cathedral ceiling and espresso hardwood floors, the large primary bedroom suite includes a separate sunken sitting area, three large walk-in closets, and an en suite sink. High-end MartinLogan ceiling speakers are also installed in the primary bedroom, sitting area, and bath.

The spa-like primary bathroom includes an oversized whirlpool tub, a walk-in shower with a river rock floor, and a state-of-the-art Toto Japanese washlet toilet.

In addition to the primary bedroom suite, there are three additional bedrooms. One of the bedrooms is double-sized, with solid rosewood floors and four large windows. It could double as a second primary bedroom or serve as a palatial home office.

The two-car garage has been finished with an extensive GarageTek storage system, including flooring, walls, a butcher block workbench, and a large variety of efficient storage solutions.

The house has been upgraded with natural gas, including a Carrier Infinity gas furnace, high recovery gas hot water heater, gas fireplace, and gas stove/cooktop.

The walk-out basement includes a large finished area and two storage/utility rooms.

Some furnishings, such as a high-definition wall-mounted television and select pieces of furniture, will optionally convey at no extra charge based on buyer preference.
