Welcome to 2148 Cedar Road, a custom-built cabin situated in the sought-after Scientists' Cliffs community of Port Republic, Maryland. Offering breathtaking views of the Chesapeake Bay, this wonderfully updated two-bedroom, one-bathroom retreat is one of the original twelve log cabins, and seamlessly blends modern conveniences with timeless character and charm.

From the moment you arrive, you are welcomed by gardens and lush landscaping that create a picturesque setting and lead you to the front entrance. Rich in history and tastefully updated throughout, this fantastic property presents a unique opportunity to enjoy coastal living along the Chesapeake Bay.

Step inside to discover a light-filled main level, where oversized windows frame sweeping views of the water. The inviting living area features a dramatic vaulted ceiling, ample cabinetry, and an abundance of natural light. The renovated kitchen is appointed with premium appliances, including a paneled Sub-Zero refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher, and Gaggenau cooktop and wall oven. The dining area enjoys spectacular water views, while a door leads directly to the deck, creating a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living. Perched high above the Bay, the home provides an exceptional vantage point to take in the breathtaking scenery, particularly the stunning sunrises over the water.

Continue to the lower level, where two bedrooms and a full bathroom await. Both bedrooms enjoy fantastic views of the Bay, while the bathroom features a spacious, spa-like steam walk-in shower with steam capability. One bedroom includes a generous sitting area, dedicated office space, and an oversized closet, while the second features a picturesque window perfectly positioned to capture the waterfront scenery. A conveniently located washer/dryer combination complete this level, along with direct access to the lower deck.

Outdoor living is equally impressive, with upper- and lower-level decks providing the perfect setting for morning coffee, alfresco dining, or simply taking in the peaceful surroundings. An outdoor shower, tucked along the side of the home, adds another thoughtful touch to this inviting coastal retreat.
