3131 Ashwood Dr Dunkirk, MD 20754

Tucked away on a private, low-traffic street with the peaceful feel of a cul-de-sac, this exceptional four-sided brick home offers more than 3,000 square feet of living space on a flat, mostly cleared four-acre lot. Located in sought-after Dunkirk, the property combines peaceful country living with convenient access to shopping, dining, commuter routes and the greater Washington, D.C., and Annapolis areas. Double French entry doors-both fully operational-welcome you into a bright and inviting main level featuring random-width hardwood flooring throughout most of the space. The open floor plan and abundance of windows create a natural flow while filling the home with sunlight. A spacious dining area at the front of the home can comfortably accommodate a large table for holidays and special gatherings. The expansive front-to-back family room offers plenty of space for movie nights, entertaining or simply relaxing beside the wood-burning masonry fireplace. The kitchen features an impressive collection of 42-inch, cathedral-topped cabinetry, granite countertops, a matching granite backsplash and upgraded stainless-steel appliances. These include a refrigerator with ice and water in the door, built-in microwave, dishwasher and solid-surface range. A deep stainless-steel sink, extensive cabinetry and generous counter space provide excellent functionality and storage. The extended countertop between the kitchen and family room includes an overhang with comfortable seating for four full-size chairs. The spacious primary bedroom overlooks the pool and backyard oasis and includes two separate closets. Its beautifully updated private bathroom showcases an oversized shower with custom translucent tile extending from floor to ceiling and a full glass enclosure. Three additional bedrooms are located on this level, including one currently used as a home office. The hall bathroom offers a granite-topped vanity and a tub-and-shower combination. The finished lower level significantly expands the home's versatility. It includes a fifth carpeted bedroom, an updated full bathroom and a complete second kitchen with abundant cabinetry, a refrigerator, dishwasher, built-in microwave and solid-surface range. This flexible space is ideal for extended family, overnight guests, recreation or large gatherings. The HVAC system also includes oil heat backup for added peace of mind. The garage is well equipped for projects, hobbies and storage, featuring a stationary utility tub, a large center-island workstation and convenient tool-storage space. The pool equipment is thoughtfully housed inside the home's storage room, helping protect it from the elements and harsh winter temperatures. The backyard is where this property truly becomes extraordinary. Extensive landscaping and stonescaping surround a custom gunite swimming pool that has been beautifully refreshed, with the coping and tile reinstalled approximately five years ago. Custom lighting around the pool and outdoor living areas creates a stunning atmosphere for evening gatherings. Multiple outdoor entertaining spaces include a grade-level patio, an upper-level deck and a large, one-step platform deck positioned beside the tree line, where afternoon shade provides a comfortable place to relax. The patio and deck areas were redone within the past month. Several sheds offer additional storage, while a custom-built private cleanup station provides the perfect place to wash up after cookouts, seafood feasts and crab gatherings. Recreational trails cut through the rear portion of the property add yet another way to enjoy the expansive four-acre setting. Offering five bedrooms, three full bathrooms, two kitchens, substantial brick construction and a resort-inspired backyard, this remarkable Dunkirk property delivers the privacy, flexibility and entertaining space that are increasingly difficult to find.
