Set on the Patuxent River in the sought-after St. Mary's Beach community, 42161 Patuxent Drive is a 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath split-level offering water views, flexible living space across four distinct levels, and a list of upgrades that's hard to match at this price point. Step inside to an open kitchen and dining area made for entertaining, plus a bonus living room near the entry - ideal as a home office, playroom, or formal sitting area. A laundry room and half bath round out the main level for everyday convenience. Half a flight up, the primary suite offers a private retreat with its own attached bath. Keep climbing to the top floor, where two more bedrooms, a large living/entertainment space, and a wet bar open onto a screened-in deck with sweeping water views - one of the best spots in the house to unwind or host. Downstairs, the partially finished basement adds even more living space with plush, ultra-comfortable carpet underfoot - perfect for a media room, gym, or lounge - while unfinished storage areas keep utilities and extra belongings out of sight. Outside, enjoy a spacious backyard, a back deck with a remote-controlled awning, an oversized 1-car garage, and plenty of driveway parking. Additional Upgrades Include: Whole-house generator powered by owned propane (two 80-gallon tanks); Whole-house water filtration, chlorination, and softener system; 50-year Malarkey roof shingles; 80-gallon water heater; Two-zone HVAC (one unit replaced in 2021); and more! This home has been professionally appraised and is priced below appraised value - a rare opportunity in a waterfront community close to Mechanicsville's restaurants, shopping, and incredible living in Southern Maryland!
