Some homes have great features. Others have a great location. A select few offer both. This is one of those rare opportunities where quality, lifestyle, and setting come together to create something truly special.

A Homesite That Rarely Comes to Market - 
Opportunities like this are few and far between. Built by respected local builder Dorsey Family Builders, this exceptional 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath Colonial combines quality craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and an extraordinary setting. Backing directly to more than 450 acres of Rockburn Branch Park with seamless access to over 16,000 acres of Patapsco Valley State Park, this home offers a lifestyle that is nearly impossible to duplicate.

Nature at Your Doorstep - 
Enjoy direct access to more than 11 miles of trails, sports fields, tennis and basketball courts, playgrounds, streams, and protected woodlands. Whether you enjoy hiking, biking, fitness, or simply relaxing in nature, this remarkable location makes the outdoors part of everyday life.

Designed for Living - 
Built in 2012 and meticulously maintained, this semi-custom home offers an open and inviting floor plan ideal for both daily living and entertaining. Quality finishes and thoughtful details throughout reflect the reputation Dorsey Family Builders has earned throughout Howard County.

The Heart of the Home - 
The gourmet kitchen features upgraded countertops, an oversized center island, abundant cabinetry, a walk-in pantry, and premium appliances. Open to the spacious family room and adjacent to the formal dining room, it creates the perfect gathering space for family and friends.

Room for Everyone - 
The upper level is anchored by a luxurious primary suite with a spa-inspired bath featuring dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a separate shower. Three additional bedrooms provide comfortable accommodations for family, guests, or home office needs.

Flexible Living Space - 
The finished walkout lower level offers incredible versatility. Featuring a fifth bedroom, full bath, and adjoining recreation area, it can serve as a private guest suite, in-law retreat, fitness studio, media room, home office, or a combination of uses. A double glass sliding door with walk-up access fill the space with natural light.

Outdoor Living - 
Situated on a beautifully landscaped 0.53-acre homesite, the outdoor spaces are equally impressive. An expansive wraparound deck, patio, and hot tub create the perfect setting for entertaining, relaxing, and enjoying the peaceful wooded backdrop.

Convenience Meets Tranquility - 
While the setting feels private and secluded, you are just minutes from Columbia, Ellicott City, major commuter routes, MARC service, and BWI Airport. Enjoy easy access to Howard County's exceptional shopping, dining, entertainment, parks, golf courses, and top-ranked amenities.

Why This Home Stands Apart - 
Finding a meticulously maintained semi-custom home built by one of Howard County's most respected builders is rare. Finding one that backs to hundreds of acres of protected parkland while remaining close to every modern convenience is even rarer. This home truly checks all the boxes: an exceptional homesite, quality construction, flexible living spaces, privacy, convenience, and an unmatched connection to nature.

The subdivision is improperly stated in the MLS as Hawksfield Estates. MLS needs to add Hawks Watch to the pull-down menu. I will update the subdivision once they have completed the update.

AN EXTRAORDINARY AMOUNT OF HOME FOR THE MONEY

What ultimately separates 8502 Dark Hawk Circle from so many other properties is the sheer amount it offers in a single home.

Approximately 5,500 square feet.
6 bedrooms.
5½ bathrooms.
Private in-law/au pair accommodations.
Multiple living and entertaining spaces.
Two recently installed HVAC systems.
Beautifully refreshed kitchen.
Fresh interior paint throughout.
Refinished hardwood flooring.
Luxury carpeting and custom tilework.
Updated lighting and fixtures.
Recently resurfaced deck.
Two-car garage.
Oversized corner lot.
And a location within walking distance of neighborhood schools.

For buyers searching for more space, the numbers alone are impressive. But the true value of this property is found in how that space can be lived in.

There is room here for family to come together without feeling crowded. There is room for grandparents or extended family to have privacy of their own. There is room for overnight guests, home offices, recreation, hobbies and entertaining. There is room for today's needs—and flexibility for whatever tomorrow may bring.

That combination is increasingly rare.

At a time when buyers throughout Howard County are often asked to compromise—choosing between size and condition, location and affordability, or privacy and convenience—8502 Dark Hawk Circle offers a refreshing alternative.

Here, you don't have to sacrifice the space you want to obtain the updates you need. You don't have to give up multigenerational flexibility to remain in an established Columbia community. And you don't have to cross the million-dollar threshold to find a truly substantial home.

A residence approaching 5,500 square feet with this many bedrooms and baths, this degree of flexibility, extensive recent updating and an oversized homesite represents an increasingly uncommon opportunity in Howard County at this price point.

8502 Dark Hawk Circle isn't simply about having a larger home.

It is about having more room for the people you love, more flexibility for the way you live and more value for your investment.

More space. More comfort. More possibilities. And an extraordinary amount of home for the money.

Welcome home.

ONE EXTRAORDINARY HOME. THREE DISTINCT LIVING POSSIBILITIES. ALMOST ENDLESS POTENTIAL.

Welcome to 8502 Dark Hawk Circle, an approximately 5,500-square-foot Columbia residence that offers something far more valuable than size alone: options.

Set on an oversized corner lot and offering 5–6 bedrooms, 5½ baths and multiple distinct living areas, this remarkable property can function as one grand residence—or provide the framework for three separate living environments under one roof: the primary residence, an already licensed private in-law/au pair apartment, and an expansive lower level offering additional possibilities for guest accommodations, extended family or potential future rental use, subject to applicable Howard County approvals.

The existing Howard County Rental Housing License for Apartment B, the private in-law suite, immediately distinguishes this home from the ordinary. With its own entrance, living area, bedroom, full bath, wheelchair-accessible curbless shower and organized closets, it provides genuine independence while keeping loved ones close.

Now imagine the possibilities.

Live in the main residence while a parent or adult child enjoys a private apartment. Rent the licensed suite and use the income to help offset your mortgage. Create another private living environment on the lower level. Or design a true multigenerational household where grandparents, parents and adult children can each enjoy privacy while remaining together under one roof.

For the entrepreneurial buyer, the possibilities become even more compelling.

With approximately 5,500 square feet and multiple flexible spaces, this may be an exceptional setting for a home-based professional practice or family business—perhaps childcare or nursery services, mental-health or wellness services, an aesthetician or beauty practice, tax preparation, consulting, accounting or a law practice—subject, of course, to applicable zoning, licensing, HOA and governmental requirements.

Imagine living upstairs, operating your business from home and generating rental income elsewhere within the property.

Or housing multiple generations while eliminating the cost of separate office space.

Or maintaining a beautiful traditional family residence today while preserving the flexibility to reconfigure portions of the home as your needs change tomorrow.

Few properties provide that kind of optionality.

And all of this comes wrapped inside an extensively refreshed home featuring warm, freshly painted interiors, refinished hardwood flooring, plush luxury carpeting, custom tilework, an updated kitchen with stainless-steel appliances and farmhouse sink, updated lighting, two recently installed HVAC systems, 5½ updated baths, a recently resurfaced deck and an oversized corner homesite within walking distance of neighborhood schools.

At a time when a property approaching 5,500 square feet in Howard County for under $1 million is already increasingly difficult to find, 8502 Dark Hawk Circle offers something even rarer:

A home that can change with you.

A traditional family home.
A multigenerational residence.
A home plus licensed apartment.
A residence with mortgage-offsetting rental income.
A live/work environment.
A family home paired with a family business.
A property with multiple private living zones.
Or some combination of them all.

One address. Multiple lifestyles. Extraordinary flexibility.

8502 Dark Hawk Circle isn't simply a place to live—it is a property that can potentially house your family, support your business, generate income and adapt to the next chapter of your life, all under one roof.

More space. More independence. More income possibilities. More ways to live.

That is what makes 8502 Dark Hawk Circle truly different.
