8502 Dark Hawk Circle

ONE EXTRAORDINARY HOME. THREE DISTINCT LIVING POSSIBILITIES. ALMOST ENDLESS POTENTIAL. Welcome to 8502 Dark Hawk Circle, an approximately 5,500-square-foot Columbia residence that offers something far more valuable than size alone: options. Set on an oversized corner lot and offering 56 bedrooms, 5 baths and multiple distinct living areas, this remarkable property can function as one grand residenceor provide the framework for three separate living environments under one roof: the primary residence, an already licensed private in-law/au pair apartment, and an expansive lower level offering additional possibilities for guest accommodations, extended family or potential future rental use, subject to applicable Howard County approvals. The existing Howard County Rental Housing License for Apartment B, the private in-law suite, immediately distinguishes this home from the ordinary. With its own entrance, living area, bedroom, full bath, wheelchair-accessible curbless shower and organized closets, it provides genuine independence while keeping loved ones close. Now imagine the possibilities. Live in the main residence while a parent or adult child enjoys a private apartment. Rent the licensed suite and use the income to help offset your mortgage. Create another private living environment on the lower level. Or design a true multigenerational household where grandparents, parents and adult children can each enjoy privacy while remaining together under one roof. For the entrepreneurial buyer, the possibilities become even more compelling. With approximately 5,500 square feet and multiple flexible spaces, this may be an exceptional setting for a home-based professional practice or family businessperhaps childcare or nursery services, mental-health or wellness services, an aesthetician or beauty practice, tax preparation, consulting, accounting or a law practicesubject, of course, to applicable zoning, licensing, HOA and governmental requirements. Imagine living upstairs, operating your business from home and generating rental income elsewhere within the property. Or housing multiple generations while eliminating the cost of separate office space. Or maintaining a beautiful traditional family residence today while preserving the flexibility to reconfigure portions of the home as your needs change tomorrow. Few properties provide that kind of optionality. And all of this comes wrapped inside an extensively refreshed home featuring warm, freshly painted interiors, refinished hardwood flooring, plush luxury carpeting, custom tilework, an updated kitchen with stainless-steel appliances and farmhouse sink, updated lighting, two recently installed HVAC systems, 5 updated baths, a recently resurfaced deck and an oversized corner homesite within walking distance of neighborhood schools. At a time when a property approaching 5,500 square feet in Howard County for under $1 million is already increasingly difficult to find, 8502 Dark Hawk Circle offers something even rarer: A home that can change with you. A traditional family home. A multigenerational residence. A home plus licensed apartment. A residence with mortgage-offsetting rental income. A live/work environment. A family home paired with a family business. A property with multiple private living zones. Or some combination of them all. One address. Multiple lifestyles. Extraordinary flexibility. 8502 Dark Hawk Circle isn't simply a place to liveit is a property that can potentially house your family, support your business, generate income and adapt to the next chapter of your life, all under one roof. More space. More independence. More income possibilities. More ways to live. That is what makes 8502 Dark Hawk Circle truly different.
