Property size:<\/strong> 6.17 acres<\/p>\n

Unique features:<\/strong> The woods are lovely, dark and deep \u2014 and, best of all, need no upkeep. This all-brick colonial, on a cloistered 6-acre homestead in Howard County, offers forested surroundings and a calming view for those inclined.<\/p>\n

With six bedrooms and six baths (four full), the home boasts more than 7,500 square feet of living space, with enough recessed ceilings to make the place seem larger. The two-story foyer has Brazilian cherry hardwood floors (the norm throughout) and a Venetian window that evokes a sense of grandeur without being gaudy. Three fireplaces add ambiance, and there’s plenty of wood to feed the flames. There’s a generous island in the kitchen, which leads to a breakfast niche and a panorama of the woods and wildlife out back. Windows abound, with remote-controlled blinds (“smart” shades, with motors), though who’d want to block a look-see at Bambi?<\/p>\n

Besides its wet bar, the primary suite features a bathroom with Turkish marble tile, a skylight and a jetted tub with oversized dual-head shower (remember the nozzle that KO’d Kramer on “Seinfeld”?). Also, there’s a hot tub on the suite’s private deck, which overlooks the heated saltwater pool.<\/p>\n

The previous owner, who does home restorations, left little to chance: the residence has a 50-year roof, a whole-house generator, an energy-saving recirculation pump and more than 1,000 gallons of stored water for emergencies.<\/p>\n
