About this home

Welcome to 8729 Fairhaven Place - a beautifully refreshed single-family home tucked into the charming Heritage Woods community of Howard County. This home offers an unbeatable combination of thoughtful updates, inviting living spaces, and an extraordinary backyard that truly sets it apart. Brand-new carpet and fresh paint throughout create a bright, move-in ready canvas, while hardwood floors flow through the living room, kitchen, and hallways on the main level.
