2707 Prospect Hill Dr, Hanover, MD 21076

Two substantial gathering areas give this 2015 Parkside townhouse a welcome sense of separation. The large entry-level family room opens directly to the patio and works well for movie nights, recreation or a quieter place to settle in while conversation continues upstairs. A one-car garage and driveway handle on-site parking. One level up, the kitchen, dining and living areas open into one another. A generous island with an overhanging counter anchors the kitchen, while ample cabinetry and a separate built-in counter add workspace and storage. Whoever is cooking can stay part of what is happening around the island or in the adjoining rooms. A sliding glass door leads to the elevated deck, making it easy for dinner to move outside when the weather cooperates. A half bath completes this level. All three bedrooms and the laundry are together on the upper floor. The primary bedroom includes a walk-in closet and private bath with a double vanity, walk-in shower and separate bathtub. Two additional bedrooms share a full hall bath. The deck and lower patio extend two different levels of the home, and both look toward the grassy hill and trees beyond. The deck is ready for an open-air meal, while the patio gives the family room its own outdoor counterpart and a quieter spot to watch the seasons change. Parkside residents have use of the community clubhouse, fitness center, outdoor pool, playgrounds and paths. Arundel Mills covers shopping, dining, movies and entertainment in one familiar regional destination. On the fence about cooking dinner? Timbuktu Restaurant has long been a Hanover answer for Maryland crab cakes. When the better plan involves fresh air, Patapsco Valley State Park and the Grist Mill Trail bring wooded river-valley scenery into the rotation.
