5115 bay parkway

Welcome to 5115 Bay Parkway, an affordable vacation home and hidden coastal retreat tucked inside one of Huntingtown’s best kept secrets. Just about an hour from Washington, DC and Alexandria, this is where everyday life starts to feel like a getaway, without the hassle of Bay Bridge traffic. Set within a charming waterfront community, this home offers access to a private neighborhood beach just a one minute walk from your door. Start your mornings with breathtaking sunrises over the Chesapeake Bay, spend your afternoons beachcombing for shark teeth, fossils, and sea glass, and wind down with moonrises over the water. From kayaking, paddle boarding, and fishing to simply parking a chair in the sand and relaxing, this is a place where life naturally slows down. Nature lovers will feel right at home here, surrounded by the beauty of the shoreline and incredible wildlife, including herons, ospreys, bald eagles, shore birds, horseshoe crabs, and even otters. The community is golf cart friendly and offers some of the most desirable beach access in the area, along with a voluntary citizens association of just $65 per year, a community house for gatherings and events, and nearby Breezy Point Marina with slips and neighborhood access. The community also offers its own designated parking area with access to approximately 18 neighborhood boat slips. Inside, the home blends thoughtful updates with easy, comfortable living. The kitchen was renovated in 2021, with additional improvements including windows and doors in 2022, HVAC and roof in 2020, and a whole house water filtration system. The sunroom is a standout space, offering gorgeous bay views and the perfect setting for morning coffee or a leisurely brunch. Outside, the back patio creates an ideal place to grill dinner and enjoy the sparkling water views as the day winds down. The layout is simple and functional, making it ideal as a full time residence or weekend escape. There is also excellent practical storage for an active waterfront lifestyle, including a boat rack outside and basement space for kayaks, paddle boards, bikes, beach gear, and water sports equipment. A sump pump adds peace of mind and functionality to the lower level. Beyond the neighborhood, outdoor recreation continues just minutes away. The American Chestnut Land Trust, about 10 minutes from the home, offers over 30 miles of scenic hiking trails through protected hardwood forest along Parkers Creek, making this a true paradise for bird watchers and nature enthusiasts. You are also conveniently located just 15 minutes from the twin beach towns of North Beach and Chesapeake Beach, as well as Prince Frederick, and about 45 minutes to Solomons Island and Annapolis. Whether you are looking to downsize, invest, or finally own an affordable beach house near DC, 5115 Bay Parkway is a rare opportunity to enjoy Chesapeake Bay living in a location many buyers have yet to discover.
