Recently refreshed with a newly renovated primary bath and fresh, warm white neutral paint throughout much of the home, this special waterfront property is ready to be enjoyed. From the moment you step into the foyer, you are greeted by breathtaking views of the water that extend throughout the main living areas.

The open concept floor plan is ideal for everyday living and entertaining. The thoughtfully designed kitchen features a 48-inch Wolf range with custom hood, built-in Wolf microwave, expansive center island, walk-in pantry, abundant cabinetry, and a dedicated beverage center complete with ice maker and under-counter refrigerator. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining area and family room with cozy fireplace. A wall of windows frames the serene waterfront setting and surrounding natural beauty.

Step outside to the waterfront deck, perfectly positioned off the family room and dining area, offering an ideal space for relaxing or entertaining while enjoying the peaceful views. A main level bedroom, which also functions beautifully as a home office, is conveniently located adjacent to a full hall bath, providing an excellent option for guests or those seeking first floor accessibility.

Hardwood flooring extends throughout both the main and upper levels. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite enjoys expansive water views and features a gorgeous, newly renovated primary bath with brand new tile, a new double vanity and new bathroom fixtures, along with a soaking tub overlooking the water and a separate tiled shower. A custom walk in closet with built-in organizers completes the suite. Two additional generously sized bedrooms, a hall bath with a thoughtfully designed layout featuring two vanities, and convenient second floor laundry complete the upper level.

The fully finished lower level offers excellent flexibility with a spacious recreation room with fireplace, a kitchenette featuring a microwave, bar sink and under counter refrigerator, a full bath, and natural light from the windows.

Outside, the fenced rear yard provides space for children and pets to play. Boating enthusiasts will appreciate the private pier equipped with an electric boat lift, two personal watercraft lifts, and a floating dock section ideal for crabbing, fishing, kayaking, launching paddleboards, or simply enjoying life on the water. With quick access to the Chesapeake Bay, you can spend more time cruising, fishing, waterfront dining, and exploring the Bay's countless destinations. A three car garage provides ample parking and storage.

Additional improvements and amenities include fresh, warm white neutral paint throughout much of the home, a propane whole house generator providing reliable backup power during outages, as well as a furnace and heat pump installed in 2021. Residents also have the option to join the voluntary Shore Acres Community Association, which offers access to a boat ramp, waterfront picnic area, basketball court, clubhouse and playground.

Surrounded by nature and offering peaceful waterfront views from nearly every angle, this exceptional property presents a rare opportunity to enjoy the best of waterfront living with the convenience of easy commutes to Baltimore and Annapolis and quick access to the Chesapeake Bay.
