Property Description
A TRUE GEM tucked away in a water-privileged community along the beautiful Port Tobacco River! From the moment you arrive, it is evident this special Colonial has been lovingly cared for by its original owners, with pride of ownership reflected in every space, both inside and out. Offering an exceptional combination of traditional charm, spacious living areas, water access, and incredible versatility, this is a home that truly stands apart. Enjoy access to a shared pier and plenty of opportunities to enjoy the water, whether you're relaxing riverside, launching a kayak, or simply taking in the peaceful surroundings. Inside, the main residence offers four bedrooms with two full baths upstairs, and a tremendous bonus room with a private staircase leading conveniently to the main-level laundry area. The first floor provides the ease of first-level living with a beautiful owner's suite featuring a gas fireplace, signature bath complete with a luxurious soaking tub. The heart of the home is the renovated kitchen, featuring 42-inch custom cabinetry and upgraded countertops, flowing into a welcoming family room adorned with gorgeous moldings, custom built-ins, and a cozy fireplace. Separate formal living and dining rooms provide wonderful spaces for entertaining and gatherings. But the true showstopper may be the sunroom, a light-filled retreat surrounded by windows where you can curl up with a good book, watch television, enjoy your morning coffee, or simply sit back and appreciate the beauty of the changing seasons. Just steps from the sunroom, a stunning oversized slate patio, artful landscaping and a tranquil koi pond create an inviting outdoor oasis. From there, discover one of the property's most unique and valuable features: a full Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) offering a private apartment complete with living room, bedroom with new carpet, full bathroom, and kitchen. The possibilities are endless for this flexible space, whether used for guests, extended family, a private retreat, or other needs. The ADU leads to an oversized one car garage with its own staircase to an enormous upper level featuring a spacious home office, flex area, and two additional rooms-an incredible amount of finished and unfinished potential just waiting for you to make your mark. Additional highlights include beautiful hardwood flooring, replacement windows, some fresh paint, FiOS, abundance of storage throughout, convenient driveway parking for multiple cars, just to name a few. Outside, workshops and a storage shed with electric provide even more functionality. Ideally situated just 35 miles from Washington, DC, and minutes from Chapel Point State Park, historic Port Tobacco Village, and Port Tobacco Marina, just a few mile from shopping, restaurants, schools, the library, and University of Maryland Charles Regional Medical Center are all conveniently nearby. You will not want to miss this beauty.
