About this home

Welcome to 521 Riverside Drive a thoughtfully reworked home in a water-oriented community near Cox’s Point Park, offering flexibility, functionality, and lifestyle all in one. Recently purchased and significantly improved in a short period of time, this home has been reconfigured to create a true 4-bedroom layout, transforming what was previously underutilized space into a more functional design that better fits today’s lifestyle. The main level features an open and inviting layout with a spacious living room flowing into the dining area and an updated kitchen that has been redesigned to eliminate dead space and improve flow, creating a more connected and usable everyday living space. The entire home has been refreshed with new flooring and fresh paint throughout, giving it a clean, move-in-ready feel. A main-level bedroom and full bath provide flexibility for guests, multi-generational living, or a private home office. Upstairs, the home now offers additional bedroom space along with a generously sized primary bedroom featuring access to a private balcony, creating a quiet place to unwind and take in the surroundings. Outside, enjoy a spacious yard, detached garage, and ample parking features that are hard to come by in this area. Located in a water-oriented community, this home offers easy access to Cox’s Point Park, public boat ramps, marinas, and Back River, with direct access to the Chesapeake Bay. Whether you enjoy boating, kayaking, or simply being near the water, this location delivers a lifestyle that extends well beyond the home itself. Conveniently located near shopping, dining, and commuter routes, this is a unique opportunity to own a home that has not only been updated but reimagined for how people actually live today.

DR 5.5

Density Residential, 5.5 dwelling units per acre

The D.R. zoning classifications are established, pursuant to the legislative findings set forth above, in order to: Foster a greater variety in housing types within future residential developments; Allow more feasible preservation of natural features and induce the reservation of ample and more suitably designed open spaces and parks, in order to better satisfy the needs of residents without economic disadvantage to developers; Allow greater flexibility in subdivision-development planning and provide for the inducement of more creative as well as more economic approaches to residential development, with the goal of desirable and distinctive identity and character of individual residential locales; Provide the means to satisfy differing housing-market requirements without rezoning, and thus without disruptive changes in density potential; Provide for the application of residential zoning classifications in a manner more nearly in accord with comprehensive plans and comprehensive-planning goals and Provide greater certainty about dwelling types and densities within existing communities with the goal of conserving and maintaining these areas.
