Welcome to 4236 Hermitage Drive, a beautifully maintained Colonial in Chateau Valley, one of Ellicott City's most sought-after communities. Set on a gorgeous, beautifully landscaped .66-acre lot with an attached two-car garage, this home offers timeless charm, thoughtful updates, and a warm, inviting feel throughout.

To the left, the spacious living room features attractive built-ins that add both character and function, creating a comfortable space for entertaining or relaxing. To the right, the formal dining room provides an elegant setting for gatherings and special occasions. Continue past the powder room to the well-appointed kitchen, redesigned several years ago with both everyday living and entertaining in mind. Features include quartz countertops, a center island, stainless steel appliances, double ovens, and a large custom pantry offering exceptional storage. Just off the kitchen, the family room provides another inviting gathering space with hardwood flooring and custom built-ins. French doors open to the rear deck, creating an easy connection to the beautiful backyard. Convenient access to the attached two-car garage, complete with a beautifully epoxied floor, completes the main level. Upstairs, hardwood flooring continues throughout. The primary bedroom features a walk-in closet and private en-suite bath, while two additional bedrooms share a beautifully renovated full hall bath. Both bathrooms have been thoughtfully updated, with the primary bath renovated approximately 2½ years ago and the hall bath approximately 5 years ago. The lower level is exceptionally clean and well maintained, offering excellent flexibility for future finished space, hobbies, a workout area, and storage. A portion of the space is currently arranged as a workout area, and the lower level also includes the laundry area, sump pump, and convenient walkout access to the backyard. Outside, the backyard is truly a standout feature of the property, offering a spacious and attractive setting for relaxing, entertaining, gardening, and play. A charming children's playhouse that also doubles as a garden shed adds even more versatility. For additional peace of mind, a new roof was installed in 2026. The location completes the package.
