Welcome to this beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 2- full bath Cape Cod nestled in Chesapeake Ranch Estates, offering a total of 2,200 finished square feet of comfort and charm. This home has been very gently cared for, and the seller has gone above and beyond to prepare it for new homeowners-fresh paint, updated lighting, landscaping improvements, re-stained fencing and deck, and a very recently remodeled shower. Inside, you'll find stylish new waterproof LVP flooring on the main and upper levels. The main level includes a conveniently located bedroom, a full bath, a living room, separate dining room, a roomy eat-in kitchen and a covered sun deck. The kitchen is a standout, with warm cherry cabinets, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, a gas stove, and center island. Most appliances were replaced in 2012. Additional highlights include newer windows (5–6 years old), water softeners throughout, updated roof stacks, and a roof that was recently inspected and found to be in excellent condition. The spacious finished basement is complemented with cozy carpet and features a versatile layout including a utility area, utility sink, laundry with a newly installed wash machine, and ample storage and living space. Outdoors, you'll enjoy a spacious double lot—mostly fenced and extending just beyond the current fence line. The flat backyard has been newly seeded this spring and includes a storage shed. This home is perfect for the car enthusiast or outdoor hobbyist with an attached one car garage measuring 12.5’ x 19’ and a 14' x 24' detached garage offering plenty of space for vehicles or a workshop. The oversized paved driveway allows for even more parking. Other features include , shades on all windows, and a west-facing front that captures beautiful evening light. Community amenities include private beaches, an airport, a community garden, trails, an airport, a clubhouse and the home is a short walk to a private community lake. This home truly offers the perfect blend of privacy, updates, neighborhood amenities and classic charm.
