**Better than new construction—because nothing about this home is cookie cutter.** Welcome to 972 Arundel Road, a completely reimagined home in the sought-after, water-privileged community of Shore Acres. Thoughtfully renovated from top to bottom with elevated finishes and an eye for modern luxury, this is the rare opportunity to enjoy the look, feel and peace of mind of a brand-new home while keeping the character and setting of an established neighborhood. Nearly every detail has been transformed. A new roof, siding and windows create a fresh exterior, while inside, new flooring, striking cable-wire railings and beautifully curated finishes give the home a sophisticated, contemporary feel. The spa-inspired bathrooms are showstoppers, featuring gorgeous tilework and elevated fixtures designed to feel more boutique hotel than builder-grade. The finished walk-out lower level adds exceptional flexibility, including an additional bedroom and full bathroom—perfect for guests, extended stays, a private office, fitness space or additional living area. Outside, a large new back deck creates the perfect extension of the living space for entertaining, dining or simply unwinding at home. Add in a two-car attached garage and a **brand-new septic system**, and the major work has already been done. Simply unpack and enjoy. Located in the **Broadneck school district**, Shore Acres offers an incredible lifestyle with a voluntary community association and access to amenities including a community beach, boat ramp, clubhouse and more. Completely renovated homes of this caliber—combining distinctive design, turnkey condition, community amenities and an Arnold location—simply don't come along often.
