Who better to convey all of the qualities than the sellers themselves:When we first saw the house at 11115 Scaggsville Rd in Laurel we were so excited! It seemed like the perfect place to raise a family. Howard County Schools, on a cul de sac and nestled back on a little hilltop, with lots of open space for the kids to run (and the perfect size sled run). We knew instantly we had found our home. With conservancy bordering two sides of the house, it was a quiet and secluded location and imagined relaxing on the front porch or sun porch with a cup of coffee. With professional landscaping, the property looked amazing, yet manageable to maintain.When we entered the house for the first time, we were delighted with the open and welcoming feel of the house. With plenty of windows, there was lots of natural light which created a warm and inviting feel. We were very happy to find the laundry room on the main level, with turned out to be very convenient for doing a quick load while preparing a meal in the kitchen. We were also impressed with the amount of storage space in the garage, laundry room, two hall closets, pantry, and plenty of kitchen cabinets. The unfinished basement was huge, and with a rough in bathroom and it held lots of potential. We had planned to finish it when we needed more space, but that time never came as the rest of the house was more than spacious for our needs.On the second floor, we were very impressed with the size of the bedrooms, especially the closet space. With double vanities in both bathrooms, we knew there would be plenty of room for everyone. The master bedroom was huge, with a cute sitting area. The master closet was bigger than we had ever had and a pure delight, it would give us lots of storage room.Top 10 reasons we love our house!10. Big kitchen, plenty of room to cook and play.9. Convenient to everything!
