Enjoy waterfront living with this cottage style home offering breathtaking views of the Patuxent River and St. Thomas Creek. The open main-level floor plan of this 3BR 2FB home captures water views from most areas of the home, as does the rear of the fully finished walkout-level basement. The spacious walk-up attic could potentially offer future expansion into a third floor, perhaps maybe with dormers, to further expand living space with even more stunning panoramic views. Enjoy the outdoors from the large rear deck or take advantage of direct water access with a private pier, jet ski ramp, boat lift, pier-side storage shed, and small beach area at the water’s edge. The pier provides easy access to navigable waters, perfect for boating, fishing, and exploring the Patuxent River, the Solomons Island area and the many Chesapeake waterways. A detached screened patio with a wood burning stove invites outdoor dining or peaceful relaxation with picturesque water views. Set in a peaceful, private country setting, this property invites you to entertain or just simply relax and unwind while enjoying unforgettable sunrises and sunsets over the water, all from the comfort of your own backyard. Don't miss this rare opportunity to enjoy your own piece of waterfront paradise. The horse shoe style driveway with parking area offers plenty of off street parking. The home is being sold in as-is condition. Septic testing found the current mid-seam septic tank to be in "unacceptable" condition. The cost of the tank replacement could potentially be offset, or possibly covered, through the The Maryland Bay Restoration Fund. Interested purchasers may want to contact the St. Mary’s County Health Department’s Clear Water Program, which administers the Bay Restoration Fund (BRF) in St. Mary’s County, for further information.
