Waterfront on two sides—that's the rare gift waiting at 1069 Shore Acres Rd, where a flat, sun-drenched parcel meets the water along its front and southern edge, just steps from a secluded community beach. This 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers 2,386 square feet of coastal living in one of Arnold's most coveted enclaves. Recent investments make this residence as sound as it is scenic. A cascade of 2022 upgrades—new roof, siding, windows, front door, deck, and a redesigned porch overhang—refreshed the exterior top to bottom. Crawl space waterproofing (2021), a reconditioned iron balcony with spiral stairs (2023), plus a 2025 bulkhead along the riverfront and side and a newly parged foundation give buyers genuine peace of mind. Tucked at the rear sits a detached one-car garage with workshop, ideal for hobbyists and boaters alike. Climb the separate staircase to discover a fully finished second-level retreat, complete with living quarters and a luxurious bath—perfect for guests, extended family, or a private studio escape. From the garage living area, you can look across Lake Placid (the one in Arnold) and out to the Magothy throughout every season. Life in Shore Acres means embracing the rhythm of the water, with quiet mornings on the deck and easy access to the neighborhood beach. When you crave something livelier, downtown Annapolis beckons with fine dining, boutique shopping, and historic charm just minutes away. Route 50 keeps Baltimore and Washington, D. C. comfortably within reach. Homes offering this blend of dual waterfront exposure, modern updates, and flexible living space rarely surface. Come experience it firsthand.
