Your chance to live in Terra Maria - one of the more unique communities in Ellicott City (a city named the 7th best small town in America by US News in 2025). Terra Maria was built as a place mindful of its history and the environment. Most homes front on open greens maintained by the HOA, providing a place for family recreation and a sense of space. 3017 Grotto Walk is one of those homes enjoying the greens from the front porch and a wooded view from the rear deck. In between you'll find a home freshly painted throughout with new flooring on 2 levels: A main level with LVP flooring and flexible living/dining that could accommodate a large gathering and then convert back to family space. A kitchen with island, cooktop w/downdraft, pantry and breakfast nook, opening to a large deck and the family room with a gas fireplace. There is also a main level laundry and half bath. Upstairs find 3 spacious bedrooms with hall bath and a primary with vaulted ceiling, large primary bath and walk-in closet. More space for family activities awaits on the lower level family room with half bath. Many big ticket updates have been done, leaving room for any cosmetic changes you may want to make. Updates include: 2026 - paint throughout, carpet, LVP flooring, deck and porch updates, fridge, island countertop, updates in hall bath, 2025 - garage door mechanism upgrades, 2023 - poly renewal to concrete driveway, 2021 - kitchen slider, 2019-Trane wi-fi enabled HVAC, 2017- Fiberglass roof w/50 yr warranty, leaf filter gutter system. The grounds around Terra Maria were once the site of St Charles College. Its remaining ruins, on Terra Maria Way, have been stabilized and used for community events. There is also a community center, tot lot and tennis courts for residents. An enclave separate, but so close to all the amenities available nearby - shopping, dining, Patapsco State Park, Old Ellicott City, Turf Valley, and commuter routes. Experience the warmth and community spirit that Terra Maria has to offer!
