Escape to your own private retreat in Earleville, Maryland. Nestled on nearly three-quarters of an acre on the scenic Grove Neck peninsula — just one mile from the Sassafras River — this meticulously maintained 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath colonial is surrounded by farmland, mature trees, and abundant wildlife. Bald eagles, great blue herons, osprey, and white-tailed deer are your everyday neighbors here. Pride of ownership shines through every inch of this home — it shows like it was built yesterday. Step inside the two-story foyer and gleaming hardwood floors greet you, flowing throughout the entire main level. The formal dining room features an elegant bay window bathed in natural light. The kitchen was thoughtfully redesigned in January 2021 with granite countertops, subway tile backsplash, center island, updated lighting, new sink, Bosch stainless steel gas range, microwave, French door refrigerator, and dishwasher. The opening to the sunroom was expanded at the same time for a seamless open-concept flow. The main level half bath was also updated in 2021 with a new pedestal sink, toilet, and fixtures. The sunroom is the heart of this home — vaulted ceilings, a wood-burning stove, walls of windows, hardwood floors (January 2021), and a Mitsubishi mini-split heat pump (February 2021) for year-round comfort. The spacious family room with updated carpet (April 2018) and ceiling fan connects naturally to the kitchen and sunroom — perfect for everyday living and entertaining. Upstairs, the generous primary suite features two closets including a large walk-in, and an en-suite bath with custom tile walk-in shower, glass enclosure, bench seat, double vanity, and oil-rubbed bronze fixtures — remodeled June 2015. Three additional bedrooms — or two plus a home office — all have ceiling fans and carpet replaced January 2021. The full hall bath features double vanity sinks and updated flooring. A full unfinished basement provides excellent storage or future finishing potential. Outside, custom paver stone hardscaping entry steps (June 2022) set the tone before you ever walk in. The deck has been resurfaced with Envision composite decking — a low-maintenance, Consumer Reports top-rated composite that resists fading, splintering, and weather damage with a 25-year warranty. A fully upgraded shed with new vinyl siding, door, and window (May 2024) plus a built-in outdoor grilling station with concrete pad. Private fenced backyard, enclosed porch, and built-in two-car garage. Driveway repaved October 2020. Additional updates include roof (March 2018), HVAC (July 2021), and water heater (February 2022). This home has been loved and cared for in ways that go far beyond what photos can show. Too many updates to mention — ask for the complete updates sheet! No HOA. No city taxes. Minutes from waterfront dining at Fish Whistle at the Granary, Deep Blue at Kitty Knight, Sassafras Harbor Cafe, and The View at Skipjack Cove. Multiple marinas within a short drive — Skipjack Cove, Sassafras Harbor, Duffy Creek, and Safe Harbor Hack’s Point — for boating, fishing, crabbing, and kayaking.
