Wake up to the calm waters of Carrs Creek and start your day with coffee on the porch, pier, or even your own private balcony. In the evenings, the autumn and winter sunsets paint the perfect backdrop of breathtaking and panoramic views before you head inside to cozy up by one of the two wood-burning stoves...seasoned firewood already chopped, stacked, and ready to go! The property includes 85 feet of private waterfront with a pier, boat lift, and floating launch for kayaks or paddleboards. Inside, this amazing home offers 4 bedrooms and 4 full baths, including a flexible suite with private access that can serve as a guest space, a bonus room, or, like it’s currently used...a gym. You’ll also find a convenient bedroom suite just off the open plan dining room. The kitchen itself has a thoughtful layout with charming touches such as open shelving, glass cabinets, and an appliance garage to keep the counters looking clean. It flows into the dining area, which then flows right out to the back deck and captures views of the water and pier. Down the hall, the living room is bathed in natural light, offering even more serene and picturesque water views as well as easy access to the deck—essentially effortless outdoor entertaining. An open-riser staircase leads to the primary suite, complete with a private balcony and retractable awning offering yet another inviting view overlooking Carrs Creek. Just outside the primary suite, you’ll find the “Great Room”, one of the home’s most unique features. Filled with an abundance of light, it includes a wet bar, ample storage, and can easily shift from relaxing to entertaining. The home features a Captain's Walk, offering panoramic views of Carrs Creek. Practical perks like an insulated two-car garage, whole-house generator, encapsulated crawl space with 2 dehumidifiers, irrigation system, greenhouse, rain barrels, fire pit, and raised garden beds make life here easy. Originally built as a cottage in the 1940s with just 800 square feet, the home was thoughtfully expanded in 2014 to over 3,000 square feet, blending vintage charm with the comfort and functionality of modern design. The original part of the house features an updated roof, preserving its classic character while enhancing durability and efficiency. Whether you’re boating and crabbing off the pier, unwinding by the fire, or simply soaking in the rhythm of the water, this home makes every day feel like something special. Perfectly situated for work, travel, and leisure, the home is only 40 minutes from Washington, D.C., 30 minutes from Andrews Air Force Base and Annapolis, 45 minutes from Ft. Meade and DCA, 50 minutes from BWI, and just over an hour from Dulles Airport—offering you the perfect balance of waterfront living and everyday convenience.
