Welcome to 8837 Willowwood Way, a three-level townhome in Howard County’s Aspenwood community with a feature you rarely find at this size: a skylit loft overlooking a vaulted primary suite. The main level centers on a wood-burning fireplace with a rustic wood mantel, and a sliding glass door opens to a deck that backs to mature trees. The dining area sits beside a granite-topped pass-through to the kitchen, and a powder room with a white shaker vanity completes the level. Upstairs, the primary bedroom opens up under a soaring vaulted ceiling, with a ceiling fan and its own staircase to the loft above. The loft is bright and flexible, with a skylight and floor outlets, and works as a home office, reading nook or studio. A dressing hall lined with mirrored double closets on both sides adds generous storage. The second bedroom has two windows facing the trees and a wide double closet. The refreshed full bath features a marble-look tub/shower surround with a handheld shower, a shaker-style vanity and a medicine cabinet. The finished lower level adds wood-look flooring, a second half bath, and room for a family room, gym or guest space, plus a separate laundry/utility room with washer, dryer and storage. Neutral paint and carpet on the main and upper levels make it easy to move right in. Aspenwood offers sidewalks and common grounds, and the location is hard to beat: minutes to Route 32, I-95, Route 1 and Route 100, Fort Meade/NSA, BWI Airport, MARC commuter rail, Columbia, Arundel Mills and Historic Savage Mill.
