Nestled along the serene waters of Rock Creek, just off the Patapsco River, this waterfront retreat offers stunning views, 10 feet of private shoreline, and coveted riparian rights. Thoughtfully designed to embrace its natural surroundings, the home invites you to relax and recharge in a setting that feels like a vacation yet remains close to everyday conveniences. Step inside to an open-concept living and dining area, where gleaming floors and a cozy brick fireplace create a warm, inviting atmosphere. A wall of windows and a sliding glass door frame the water view and lead into an expansive enclosed sunroom, where a wood-planked cathedral ceiling and walls of glass surround you with panoramic views of the water year-round. The kitchen, featuring classic white cabinetry, sleek appliances, and hardwood flooring, connects seamlessly to the main living area, ideal for everyday living and entertaining alike. The main-level primary bedroom is a private haven, complete with its own sliding glass door to the deck, allowing you to wake up to peaceful water views. The en-suite bath offers convenience and comfort, while two additional bedrooms and a second full bath round out this level. A spiral staircase leads to the finished lower level, where a second brick fireplace with an insert anchors a spacious family room. Another sliding glass door opens to the patio and backyard, creating an easy indoor-outdoor flow. Entertain effortlessly from the built-in bar or retreat to the finished bonus room, perfect as an office, fitness room, or creative space. The generous utility room offers laundry and ample storage. Outside, the deck overlooks a lush, gently sloping backyard that leads directly to the water’s edge, an ideal spot for launching a kayak, fishing, or simply soaking in the view. The property also includes a covered patio for shaded outdoor relaxation and a storage shed for tools, water gear, or seasonal items. With Fort Smallwood Park, local trails and playgrounds just minutes away, this home offers a lifestyle of tranquility, recreation, and connection to nature. Whether you're looking for a weekend escape or a year-round waterfront sanctuary, this property delivers timeless charm, beautiful scenery, and a front-row seat to life on the water. This property includes riparian rights, offering the potential for direct water access. A permit must be obtained from the county to build a dock or similar structure. In the meantime, residents can enjoy the community boat ramp, conveniently located just one lot away.
The home is in excellent condition. All new systems and newer roof.
