Perfectly situated in the highly sought-after waterfront community of Stewarts Landing, this beautifully maintained colonial has been thoughtfully updated and lovingly cared for, making it completely move-in ready for its next fortunate owners. Outside, you will notice a new roof, new fence, new shed, and updated front porch. Inside, you'll find an updated kitchen, refreshed bathrooms, new flooring throughout, and an inviting family room featuring soaring vaulted ceilings, skylights, and a stunning brick wood-burning fireplace. The adjoining four-season room mirrors those impressive vaulted ceilings and skylights, creating a bright, airy space that seamlessly connects the indoors to the expansive, fully fenced, level backyard—ideal for entertaining, relaxing, or play. Upstairs, there are three generously sized bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite with a refreshed private bath. The finished lower level is designed for fun and flexibility, currently outfitted with a projector, screen, and surround sound perfect for movie nights and game days. An existing egress window provides an easy opportunity to create a fourth legal bedroom, adding even more value and versatility. Stewarts Landing is beloved for its exceptional water privileges, including community boat slips available on a first-come, first-served basis, allowing residents to embrace life on the water without the waterfront price tag. Completing the package is an unbeatable location within the highly acclaimed Folger McKinsey Elementary School district, feeding into Severna Park Middle and Severna Park High School. Homes in this community are always in high demand, and with its thoughtful updates, outstanding lot, and incredible neighborhood amenities, this one is going to be popular!! Don't hesitate!!
