Welcome to 4220 Scarlet Sage Court, a beautifully designed and thoughtfully updated Colonial-style home located on a quiet cul-de-sac in Ellicott City’s desirable Village of Dorsey’s Search. This 4 bedroom, 3½ bath home offers a blend of architectural charm, luxury finishes, and practical living. Step inside to discover a thoughtfully designed main level that combines both function and elegance. To the left of the entry, the formal living room flows into the dining room (currently used as a home office). At the heart of the home lies the beautifully updated/fully renovated kitchen, showcasing vaulted ceilings, a skylight that floods the space with natural light, and high-end appliances including a built-in SubZero refrigerator, Wolf double wall ovens and a Wolf gas cooktop with griddle. A breathtaking center island with a breakfast bar and sleek granite and marble counters make this space perfect for both everyday living and entertaining alike. The kitchen opens to a bright dining area and expansive family room, where large windows overlooking the rear yard, soaring ceilings, and a striking fireplace create a warm and airy gathering space. Completing the main level is an exceptional primary suite featuring a luxurious en suite bath with a state-of-the-art walk-in shower, a freestanding soaking tub, and a quartz-topped vanity, offering a true spa-like experience. This level also includes a stylish powder room and convenient access to the oversized two-car garage, equipped with EV charging and dual electrical panels. Upstairs, three generously sized bedrooms await, all with rich hardwood flooring and abundant natural light that enhances the inviting feel of the home. One of the bedrooms features its own private en suite bath, making it an ideal retreat for guests, in-laws, or older children seeking added privacy. The remaining two bedrooms share a well-appointed full hall bath, and each room offers ample closet space. This upper level layout balances functionality and comfort, perfect for a variety of living arrangements. The finished lower level of this home adds valuable and flexible living space, ideal for a recreation room, media lounge, or home gym. Whether you’re hosting a movie night or creating a quiet retreat, this level offers endless possibilities. A dedicated laundry area ensures practicality, while the utility room provides ample storage and houses the home’s mechanical systems for easy access. Outside, the backyard is a true showstopper—lush, fully fenced, and impeccably landscaped for privacy and beauty. The expansive composite deck leads to a stunning stone patio, offering multiple zones for entertaining, dining, or quiet relaxation. At the heart of the backyard is the luxurious in-ground heated saltwater pool with automatic cover for easy maintenance (all recently refinished in 2024), surrounded by an elegant bluestone patio and framed by mature trees and greenery that create a peaceful, resort-like ambiance. Whether you’re hosting a summer barbecue, enjoying a morning coffee on the deck, or unwinding poolside, this outdoor retreat offers comfort and serenity in every season. This home also features energy-efficient upgrades, including a tankless water heater, leased solar panels (through 2025), and a new roof in 2022. ** The Columbia Association offers recreational memberships that include multiple pools and fitness facilities, as well as more than 90 miles of walking, jogging, and biking pathways. Dorsey’s Search itself features beautiful green spaces, the scenic Fairway Hills Golf Club, and a charming village center with shops, restaurants, and services. You're only a short drive to Centennial Park, top-rated Howard County schools, and major commuter routes, including Routes 29, 108, 70, and 95. ** SELLER REQUIRES POST SETTLEMENT OCCUPANCY THROUGH JULY 31, 2025

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
