The kitchen has been tastefully updated, and the remodeled bathrooms, new carpet in the bedrooms, and hardwood floors in the main living area create a fresh and inviting atmosphere. A spacious sunroom off the dining area brings in abundant natural light, making it the perfect spot to relax or entertain year-round. A cozy wood-burning fireplace anchors the living space, adding charm and warmth.

At the back of the property, there's an extra work area with a roll-up garage door, enhancing the overall functionality. A circular driveway makes navigating trailers, boats, or RVs easy, and there’s a designated camper parking pad. The home also includes RV power hookups, a whole-house generator connection, and owned solar panels, providing peace of mind and long-term energy efficiency. To top it off, a Rain Bird-timed sprinkler system keeps the front yard green and low-maintenance. **Commuter-Friendly and Centrally Located:** - Just 30 minutes to NAS Patuxent River - 55 minutes to Joint Base Andrews - 1 hour and 15 minutes to Washington, D.C. - 40 minutes to the Branch Avenue Metro Station (providing Green Line access into the city) Whether you're looking for a quiet escape, room to work and play, or simply a well-cared-for home with all the extra features, this property has it all.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
