1809 Sparks Drive, Forest Hill, MD 21050

Property Description

Tucked into one of Forest Hill's most coveted enclaves, this all-brick Colonial sits on 3.68 acres backing to mature trees and a protected agricultural conservation easement — a combination that delivers genuine privacy and a natural backdrop that cannot be built away. The home spans three levels with 3,221 square feet above grade, four bedrooms, three full baths, and two half baths. All four bedrooms and three full baths are together on the upper level for seamless day-to-day living, with a half bath on the main level and another in the finished basement. Inside, the finish details set the tone. The living room carries 10-foot-plus ceilings and tall Andersen casement windows over hardwood floors, while the family room off the kitchen opens up with a vaulted 12-foot ceiling and more Andersen casements that pull in light from every angle. The dining room continues the hardwoods and adds recessed lighting, chair rail, and crown molding, and a dedicated office at the front of the home — also in hardwoods — gives a real work-from-home setup. Tall base moldings run throughout. The updated kitchen anchors the main level with granite counters, stainless appliances, LVP wood-look flooring, and a workhorse appliance package — KitchenAid double oven and microwave, dishwasher, and a Jenn-Air cooktop with downdraft — plus an eat-in area surrounded by natural light. Upstairs, the primary suite features hardwood floors and a tray ceiling, with an updated bath finished in ceramic tile, a large walk-in shower with marble-look tile and quartz counters, and its own tray ceiling. Three additional carpeted bedrooms round out the level. The finished walkout basement expands the footprint significantly, with a rec room, family room, and dedicated storage — direct outdoor access and real potential for recreation, remote work, hobbies, or future customization. A screened-in deck — built that way from the start — extends the living space beyond the walls of the home, putting the acreage to work for relaxed evenings, weekend entertaining, or simply taking in the quiet of the surrounding property. The side-entry three-car garage, concrete driveway, and additional on-street parking handle the practical realities of busy households without a second thought. Major systems are buttoned up and recently updated. A new roof was installed in January 2026, and the home runs on two HVAC systems — a 2020 Carrier gas furnace serving the main and lower levels, and an all-electric attic unit installed in April 2015. Rounding out the infrastructure: poured concrete foundation, sump pump, central vac, an owned 500-gallon propane tank, and a well with iron/acid-neutralizing softener (well pumps replaced within the last five years). All of this sits within easy reach of Bel Air, with shopping, dining, and major commuter routes close at hand — so the seclusion here is a choice, not a compromise.
