Property Description
Welcome to this beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 2- full bath Cape Cod nestled in Chesapeake Ranch Estates, offering a total of 2,200 finished square feet of comfort and charm.

The main level includes a conveniently located bedroom, a full bath, a living room, separate dining room, a roomy eat-in kitchen and a covered sun deck.

The spacious finished basement is complemented with cozy carpet and features a versatile layout including a utility area, utility sink, laundry with a newly installed wash machine, and ample storage and living space. Outdoors, you'll enjoy a spacious double lot-mostly fenced and extending just beyond the current fence line. The flat backyard has been newly seeded this spring and includes a storage shed. This home is perfect for the car enthusiast or outdoor hobbyist with an attached one car garage measuring 12.5' x 19' and a 14' x 24' detached garage offering plenty of space for vehicles or a workshop.
