This beautifully maintained and extensively upgraded 5 bed, 3.5 bath home occupies an ideal site at the end of the neighborhood cul-de-sac. The home sets itself apart with extensive updates, high-quality exterior features, and a fully finished basement, complete with home theater. Newly installed carpets on the upper floor and fresh paint throughout the home make this property fully move-in ready! Entering the home, there is a formal dining room on the left with updated fixtures and an open, inviting living room on the right. Proceeding through the foyer, the great room opens up to the upper level balcony, with huge windows in the front and rear to warm the space with natural light. There is a half bathroom and a large, separate den on the main floor, to the right of the great room. Currently used as an office, this space could also be used as a main level bedroom. The kitchen enjoys open sight lines through to the great room, and features a gas-powered range, granite countertops, and recently updated refrigerator and dishwasher. Walking past the kitchen, there is a large sunroom overlooking the woods and back patio, with space for a full dining room set or a additional living room. The back deck features low-maintenance composite decking, premium railings, and a custom-built pergola over an intimate dining space. The rear patio features permanent hardscaping with a built-in firepit, completing this superb setting for outdoor entertaining. The property has been professionally landscaped and features well-maintained garden beds, an in-ground irrigation system, and mature crepe myrtles. The property backs to trees, and a trail leads off the property and through the woods a short way to a neighboring creek. The home's basement features a huge recreational space, as well as a separate theater room. The home theater comes complete with stadium-seating, luxury recliners, high-end projector, wall-mounted screen, and surround sound. There is also a full bathroom, additional bedroom, and exterior entry to the basement, allowing the next owners a wide range of opportunities for using the space. The upper level features three secondary bedrooms, a hall bathroom, and a primary suite. The primary bedroom features a full attached bathroom with soaker tub, a comfortable reading nook over-looking the front yard and cul-de-sac, a vaulted ceiling, and an expansive walk-in closet. The garage features 11.5 foot ceilings, and allows sufficient space for a well-outfitted workshop, home gym, or traditional vehicle storage. The house includes a whole-house 8-kilowatt generator capable of powering the major appliances in the event of a power outage. The roof was replaced in 2021 and the HVAC was replaced in 2021. The HVAC system includes an integrated air-scrubber and is equipped to allow multi-zone heating and cooling for optimal comfort and efficiency throughout the house. The property is located less than 10 minutes from PAX River Naval Air Station, St. Mary's College of Maryland, Lancaster Park, grocery stores, and shopping, and less than 20 minutes from Leonardtown, local beaches, kayak launches, and hiking and biking trails. The redevelopment of nearby Millison Plaza will bring a Starbucks and an Aldi within a 5 minute drive.
