What's special
Coastal cottage charm meets waterfront living on picturesque Crab Alley Creek. Offering 120 feet of shoreline and direct access to the Eastern Bay, this beautifully maintained home combines privacy, convenience, and the very best of the Chesapeake lifestyle. A pier permit already in hand provides an exciting opportunity for the next owner to further enhance their waterfront experience. This move-in-ready residence features 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and a versatile bonus room that can serve as a home office, guest room, or potential 4th bedroom. Meticulously updated and lovingly maintained throughout, pride of ownership is evident at every turn. Thoughtful upgrades create a warm and inviting atmosphere, including under-cabinet lighting and dimmer switches throughout the home, allowing you to create the perfect ambiance for any occasion. The kitchen is both stylish and functional, featuring an additional beverage refrigerator, making entertaining family and friends a breeze. The bathrooms offer a touch of luxury with heated floors and built-in Bluetooth speakers, creating a spa-like retreat within your own home. Situated on a large, level waterfront lot, the property is designed for both relaxation and recreation. Across the creek, protected conservation land provides a peaceful, natural backdrop and exceptional privacy rarely found on the water. Raised garden beds offer the opportunity to grow your own herbs and vegetables, while the detached garage, two storage sheds, and attic provide ample space for tools, equipment, seasonal items, and all your waterfront essentials. Spend your evenings gathered around the fire pit overlooking the water, launch a kayak from your backyard, or cruise to one of the many waterfront restaurants accessible from the Eastern Bay. Whether you're entertaining guests or enjoying a quiet sunset, this property embraces the laid-back charm of coastal living. Conveniently located just 10 minutes from the Bay Bridge, 20 minutes from Annapolis, and approximately 90 minutes from the beach, you'll enjoy easy access to everything while feeling worlds away. A rare opportunity to own a turnkey waterfront retreat in one of Kent Island's most desirable locations, where every detail has been thoughtfully curated for comfort, convenience, and enjoyment.
