Nestled at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in the desirable Longmeadow North community in Severna Park, 244 Charita Way offers 140 feet of private waterfront on scenic Cypress Creek. Whether it’s canoeing, kayaking, paddleboarding, or even jet skiing, enjoy direct access to the Magothy River from your own backyard. This 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath Colonial includes two spacious Primary Suites—one on the main level and one upstairs—each with ensuite baths and walk-in showers. Ideal for multi-generational living or long-term guests. Freshly updated throughout, the home features new carpet in the four upstairs bedrooms and in the ground-floor Bonus Room, refinished hardwood floors, new LVP flooring in the Foyer, and fresh paint throughout. Exterior light fixtures and door hardware have been replaced, and seller-owned solar panels provide energy savings. (Note: Buyer will be required to take over the existing loan for the solar panels.) The bright and welcoming Foyer leads to a spacious living room with a large bow window, custom built-ins, elegant white brick fireplace, and a hidden firewood storage nook. A glass-paneled door opens to the Bonus Room—perfect for an office, playroom, gym, or even an adjunct dining room (if desired)—with sliding glass doors to the rear deck. The modern Kitchen is equipped with stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops with a backsplash, a 3-seat breakfast bar, plenty of cabinetry, and a wall-mounted TV hookup. A matching free-standing wooden storage unit and oversized pantry provide ample space for groceries as well as pots, pans, dishes, and glasses. Sliding glass doors open to a two-tier deck, with views to the water down the wooded hill. The main-level Primary Suite, created in 2017, is large enough to accommodate a king-sized bed and two bedside tables and includes a walk-in closet with a top all-around shelf, ensuite bath with a glass shower with a fold-down seat, and grab bars for added accessibility. Upstairs, a second Primary Suite joins three additional bedrooms and a full hall bath with shower/bathtub. Downstairs, the finished Basement includes a Family Room with a brick fireplace, LED lighting, built-in bookshelves, and a Wi-Fi nook closet. The Utility Room houses the Carrier HVAC, Aprilaire humidifier, and a Frigidaire refrigerator (as-is). The two-car garage features plenty of wall shelving and a full workshop area. Outside, the 0.45-acre lot is professionally landscaped with mature trees and includes a spacious storage shed and an almost-new Generac Guardian whole-house generator (22 kW). Enjoy peaceful moments on the deck watching ducks float by or listening to the chimes of nearby St. John the Evangelist Church quietly ringing in the distance on the hour and half-hour. Includes a one-year home warranty. For those seeking more involvement with the community, there is a voluntary homeowner's association - Cypress Improvement Association, or CIA - with $75 voluntary dues that also offers access to its private CIA pier, wading area, and picnic tables at the very end of Cypress Creek Rd. and sponsors several social activities throughout the year that are meant to pull the whole Cypress Creek area together more closely. This house is move-in ready with plenty of space, many updates, and waterfront serenity—schedule your private showing today.
