Three levels of living, bedrooms that actually give you room to spread out, and a location that makes getting around easy.

Welcome to sought-after Asbury Woods! This 3-bedroom, 2-bath townhouse offers a spacious main-level living area that flows into the kitchen and connects to the upper and lower levels. The kitchen features oak cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and Corian countertops.

Upstairs, you'll find two generously sized bedrooms and a full bathroom, while the finished lower level offers a third bedroom, another full bathroom, a cozy fireplace, and a large laundry room. All three bedrooms are spacious enough to feel like primary suites, giving you plenty of flexibility in how you use the space.

There's something nice about moving into a home where some of the bigger improvements are already behind you. Fresh interior paint and new carpet were completed in October 2026, while the roof and attic fan were replaced in summer 2024.

Step outside and you'll find a large deck that's perfect for morning coffee, grilling, or spending an evening with friends. Downstairs, the walkout lower level opens to the backyard, where you'll also find a spacious shed with electricity for storage or projects. The backyard also provides access to another community parking area, and the home includes one dedicated parking pass.

And when you're ready to get out and explore, there's plenty to enjoy nearby! Enjoy the Winocopin Trails and Savage River, or stroll to Historic Savage Mill, a beautifully restored 1800s cotton mill filled with unique shops, local artisans, antiques, and restaurants. Columbia Mall, Merriweather Post Pavilion, and plenty of shopping and dining options are just a short drive away. With Fort Meade and NSA nearby, plus easy access to Routes 1, 29, 32, I-95, and the Baltimore-Washington Parkway (295), getting around is a breeze.

Sometimes the best part of coming home is knowing you have room to enjoy it and everything you need just around the corner.
