Property Description
Truly special and exceptionally improved bayfront offering in the gated Columbia Beach community of Shady Side. This Classic Cape Cod is all about the experience and attention to detail-breathtaking Chesapeake Bay vistas, unforgettable sunrises and sunsets, and the kind of big-sky waterfront setting that makes this home feel like a retreat every single day. Seller has maintained detailed improvement and maintenance records, with $400,000 in documented improvements from 2022-2024. Highlights include replacement windows, plantation shutters, an owned security system that enhances the lock-it-and-leave-it lifestyle and allows you to keep an eye on the property from anywhere, whole-house Generac generator, extensive multi-zone mini-split installation for efficient heating and cooling, crawlspace encapsulation, water softener and reverse osmosis system, renovated primary suite and bath with walk-in closet, heated upper-level bath floors, Swedish-style hardwood flooring on the main level, recessed lighting, updated doors, kitchen renovation with upgraded appliances and fixtures, exterior improvements, and two workshop/storage sheds. Nearly 60 ft of rip-rapped non-riparian waterfront frontage, community access to the waterfront park, boat ramp, and pier, and seller states no flood insurance is currently required. This is a rare combination of scenic waterfront living, thoughtful upgrades, and strong utility and efficiency features. Near Franklin Point State Park, local marinas, and the outdoor lifestyle that defines Southern Anne Arundel County, the property's setting delivers incredible light, dramatic skies, and extraordinary water views year-round. Ask your agent for the improvement ledger and maintenance documentation.
