We came across this townhome after months of searching for our forever home, says owner Sam Lewis of he and his wife, Vaishali s historic end-unit stone townhome in the Riverfront community of Oella in Historic Ellicott City. Soft lighting, beautiful exposed stone walls, and the warmth of a glowing wood-stove drew us in, says Vaishali. And one look at my wife was all I needed to know we had finally found home. says Sam. Sam and Vaishali reminisce about their time in the home and how they burrowed in from the start; Vaishali loving the thoughtful features, the built-in bookcases, and the intelligently planned kitchen pantry and cabinets and Sam appreciating the quaint second-floor office and the ground level guest room for the occasional friend who was NOT driving home. We both had hoped to find a place with a sense of community, charm, and coziness, says Sam. The unexpected treasures have been the River, the Trolley Trail, and this town. The neighborhood is so friendly and our neighbors have always been kind and helpful. That s SO true, says Vaishali. ..and we have definitely made the most of being in walking distance to Main Street and all of the amazing shops, bakeries, restaurants, bars, and all of the fun town events throughout the year. Sam and Vaishali talk about their discoveries in town, in the Park, and around their own property including lush gardens which reveal new blooms continuously throughout the spring season and how the River glimmers in the sun through trees. Forever just came a little early, Says Vaishali holding close to Sam. If we could bundle it all up with us, we wouldn't leave a single thing. Your best life begins in a cool old place and in a great historic town that inspires. Life Inspired in Oella of Historic Ellicott City at 871 Oella Avenue!
