Distinctive contemporary architecture, dramatic interior spaces, and a remarkably versatile floor plan come together in this beautifully maintained and thoughtfully improved home in sought-after Hobbit’s Glen. Lovingly cared for and enhanced by each of its owners, the home offers a wonderful balance of architectural character, comfortable living, and flexibility. Soaring ceiling heights, expansive atrium windows, a striking spiral staircase, and a second-level balcony overlook create an impressive sense of volume, light, and openness throughout the main living areas. The thoughtfully designed floor plan adapts easily to changing needs, including a flexible main-level office that could also serve as a playroom, fitness or wellness space. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite is a true retreat of generous proportions, featuring a walk-in closet with built-in shelving and an impressive en-suite bath with soaking tub, separate shower with body sprays, heated floors, and the added convenience of a private laundry room. Three additional upper-level bedrooms share two full baths and open to the second-level balcony overlooking the sunroom, continuing the home’s distinctive open and airy design. Additional living space extends into the finished lower level, featuring a large recreation room, separate bedroom, additional laundry room, full bath, and convenient kitchenette—ideal for entertaining, extended stays, multi-generational living, hobbies, or everyday relaxation. Outside, mature trees create an established setting with even a glimpse of the golf course. One of the home’s greatest amenities, however, may be everything available within the neighborhood. The Turn House restaurant, tennis courts, Hobbit’s Glen Community Pool, Hobbit’s Glen Golf Course, Columbia Association trail system, and a neighborhood tot lot are all within walking distance. With its dramatic contemporary architecture, flexible living spaces, abundant neighborhood amenities, and history of attentive ownership, this special Hobbit’s Glen home offers something refreshingly different.
