Property Description

With 200 feet of private shoreline along the scenic Port Tobacco River, this home offers the perfect blend of tranquility and convenience.

Inside, the home features three spacious bedrooms and two and a half baths. In the early 2000's this home underwent a major expansion including a beautiful chef's kitchen, vaulted ceilings, and huge windows for those scenic views of the river, all thoughtfully designed for comfort and functionality on one level, plus a large loft area flex space. Easily work from home with FIOS service available. The showstopper is a massive sunroom showcasing panoramic views of the river, complete with an 8-person hot tub, perfect for year-round relaxation and entertaining. Conveniently located adjacent to the house is a large 2-car detached garage, complete with a heating system that functions as a garage and a workshop. The exterior offers durable brick and Hardie Plank construction, and the roof was replaced in 2023 with architectural shingles. The geothermal heat pump system offers energy savings throughout the year. The 2.69 acre lot that gently slopes to the river is not an easy find. There is plenty of space for you to relax and enjoy. Whether you're seeking a peaceful weekend retreat or a full-time waterfront residence, this home offers it all. Don't miss your chance to own a slice of paradise in one of Maryland's most charming waterfront communities.
