Description

Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in sought-after Chesapeake Beach, this home offers a comfortable blend of space, function, and location—just a 3-minute drive to the Chesapeake Bay. Enjoy easy access to waterfront dining, local restaurants, and entertainment, all while coming home to a peaceful setting. The property features 5 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, and a custom-built gunite pool.A covered front porch that wraps around the side of the home creates a welcoming first impression and offers multiple places to relax at the start or end of the day. Inside, hardwood floors carry through the main level, complemented by natural light that gives the home an open, inviting feel. The foyer features a thoughtfully designed staircase that is set off to the side, creating a more open and welcoming entry rather than having the stairs directly in front of you as you walk in. The layout continues with flexibility in mind, offering a sitting room or office with a reading nook, a spacious family room, a formal dining area, and a central living space anchored by a fireplace.The kitchen is well-positioned as the hub of the home, featuring stainless steel appliances, dark countertops, white cabinetry, and two breakfast bars for casual meals or conversation. It opens to a bright dining or sitting area that looks out over the backyard, creating an easy connection between indoor and outdoor living.Upstairs, four bedrooms provide comfortable accommodations, including the owner’s suite with dual closets and a private bath complete with a soaking tub, walk-in shower, and double vanity.The finished basement expands the home’s versatility with a living area, bar, and full bathroom—well-suited for guests, extended stays, or a separate entertaining space. It also includes a partially finished room currently being used as a bedroom, offering flexibility for future use. A double-width walk-up areaway provides convenient access to the backyard and a more open, functional entry compared to a typical single-width design.Out back, the setting is designed for both relaxation and gathering. The deck overlooks a custom gunite pool, surrounded by a concrete patio and custom-designed stone retaining walls that define the space and add structure to the landscape. A bridge extends from the main yard to a fully fenced rear yard, connecting to a separate grassy area with a playground—adding both function and a unique touch to the outdoor space.With an attached garage, a quiet cul-de-sac location, and close proximity to the water, this home brings together everyday comfort and the lifestyle that makes Chesapeake Beach such a desirable place to live.
