Ideally situated on Back Creek/Bodkin Creek with easy access to the Chesapeake Bay, this beautifully reimagined home captures the essence of waterfront living. Recently renovated from top to bottom, it has been thoughtfully updated with a refined, modern aesthetic while preserving its inviting coastal character. Positioned to maximize its’ setting, the home offers sweeping views across Back Creek from nearly every living space. The main level unfolds with a seamless connection between the kitchen, dining, and living areas, anchored by expansive windows and soaring ceilings that draw in natural light and frame the water beyond. The gorgeous kitchen includes soapstone, quartz, and a live-edge wood countertop and stainless-steel appliances. The chef will be thrilled with the size of the island for meal prep! The waterside family room, with pellet stove, has a vaulted ceiling and wall of glass. Just outside, a spacious waterfront deck becomes a natural extension of the home. The upper level features three well-proportioned bedrooms, including a private primary suite with tranquil water views, a walk-in closet, and a spa-like ensuite bath complete with a soaking tub. The walk-out, lower level provides additional flexible living space, perfect for a media room, guest overflow, or casual gathering area. A standout feature of the home is the expansive screened porch with space for dining, lounging, and unwinding in the hot tub, all with easy access to the backyard. Along the shoreline, the property is equally compelling. A private sandy beach and a substantial waterfront deck set the stage for long summer days on the water. The deep-water pier is outfitted with multiple slips, a 40,000 lb lift, and a jet ski lift, ready to accommodate a range of boating lifestyles. Thoughtful details, from a place for your hammock at the water’s edge to a dedicated fire pit area, complete the experience. There is a one-car garage, ample storage in the adjoining structure, and plenty of parking available in the driveway. This turnkey waterfront opportunity is located in one of the most desirable boating locations and offers immediate enjoyment to all the Bay has to offer. Explore various nearby creeks, with waterfront restaurants, or spend the day fishing on the Bay. By car, it’s an easy commute to Baltimore, Annapolis and DC.
