Rarely do homes in tip top condition in such a desirable neighborhood come at this price point. This home is cute and cozy yet it also has ample room to expand with additional bedrooms making it a perfect fit for any growing family. Nestled on a quiet dead-end street in vibrant Herald Harbor, this energy efficient home offers elegant vaulted ceilings with tons of natural light and a true wood burning stove for cozy winters. A modern kitchen, paired with sturdy Trafficmaster flooring in the living areas and eco-friendly bamboo flooring in the bedrooms. The main level is two bedrooms and feels very roomy and the basement is large and dry with tall ceilings. While it’s perfect now for use as perhaps a storage area, gym or game room, it can also be finished with additional bedrooms in the future. That equates to not only a home at a great price point, but an opportunity for future increase in equity. Sometimes it’s the little touches that make a home classy; from the modern hearth near the entrance to the stylish shiplap in the owner's suite, this home is well appointed and without need of repairs or costly improvements. Cared with love, little details have been carefully thought through and eco-friendly materials have been curated, leaving a home that’s light on the utility bills and even has an electric car charging station for your vehicle or visiting guests. The front yard is "picture perfect" with a small porch for rocking chairs on Autumn days; or if you prefer, you can look forward to entertaining in the backyard around the fire pit (which conveys) or on the large and elevated deck. The front and rear of the property have been professionally landscaped with native plants to both help this property blend naturally into the forests around it as well as to elegantly provide for future privacy of neighbors. A final thought: as a realtor, I often advise clients to purchase a modest home in the best neighborhood they can find, and that's precisely what's offered with this unique opportunity to purchase in coveted Herald Harbor. Unlike some associations where dues are mandatory, Herald Harbor's are voluntary, yet the community still provides a wealth of amenities. Bonaparte Beach is just a short stroll away, offering water access and convenient kayak racks for your use and a boat ramp to the north of the neighborhood provides easy access to the iconic Severn River. The community hosts Food Truck Tuesdays at the park, a local favorite, alongside the legendary Herald Harbor Hideaway & Mini-Mart, which adds a quaint charm to the neighborhood. This is an absolutely wonderful home in excellent condition and in a great location, at an affordable price and even has room to expand. If you have any questions whatsoever, give my group a call or contact your realtor and we will get the answers to you right away. We're hoping to be on the market around November 9th, see you soon.
