Welcome to 8523 Lallybroch Lane — quite simply the most upgraded, striking, and lavishly appointed 55+ residence ever to come to market in Howard County. Less than a year old and nestled within the sold-out, highly-coveted Maple Highlands community by NV Homes — just minutes from the renowned Maple Lawn corridor — this exceptional property represents a uniquely rare opportunity. With more than $225,000 in curated upgrades selected by its discerning owners, every inch of this residence reflects an uncompromising commitment to quality, design, and elevated living. This semi-detached luxury property offers three meticulously appointed levels featuring a main-level primary suite and guest room, upstairs bedroom and loft space, four full bathrooms, and an elegant, fully finished walk-up lower level with full bar and home gym — all backing to serene conservation area and mature trees. Wide-plank hardwood flooring, coffered ceilings, and a double-sided gas fireplace set a tone of timeless class and sophistication. Hunter Douglas electronically controlled shades, Lutron lighting throughout, and a fully integrated Sonos audio system speak to a level of smart-home refinement rarely found at this price point. The magazine-worthy kitchen features two-tone shaker-style cabinetry, a stunning waterfall-edge quartz countertop, and a premium GE Café appliance package — a space as functional as it is beautiful. The lifestyle this home affords extends far beyond its walls. A screened-in porch and a breathtaking flagstone patio — professionally designed and installed by Budding Branch — set the stage for effortless outdoor living, anchored by a professional Wolf outdoor kitchen and grill station that will impress even the most particular entertainer. California Closets custom organizers are found in every single closet throughout the home, and upper level finished storage spaces provide additional sleek organization options. The garage features epoxy flooring and Gladiator wall panel systems, while the fully finished lower level — complete with a stylish wet bar — rounds out a residence that leaves absolutely nothing to be desired. Opportunities like this do not surface often — don’t let 8523 Lallybroch Lane slip away.
