Located on Cat Creek just off the Patuxent River, this waterfront, water-oriented property offers a peaceful, natural setting surrounded by mature trees. While the creek is not visible from the home, the property includes direct water access, making it ideal for kayaking, nature watching, and enjoying the waterfront lifestyle. Set on a one-acre lot in Mechanicsville, this well-maintained home features 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and a two-car front-entry garage, with exceptional curb appeal highlighted by an expansive wraparound front porch and a striking double-size stairway. The main level welcomes you with hardwood floors throughout, a bright foyer, a formal living room ideal for a den or playroom, and a dedicated home office, along with a separate formal dining room, half bath, and interior access from the garage. The kitchen anchors the rear of the home and features stainless steel appliances, tiled flooring, pantry, pot rack, modern fixtures, and abundant cabinet space, with a built-in desk overlooking the spacious family room that offers a gas fireplace and access to the backyard, while the sunroom just off the kitchen is filled with natural light and provides a comfortable space to relax while enjoying views of the surrounding landscape. Upstairs, the primary suite offers tray ceilings, blackout blinds, a walk-in closet, and an ensuite bath with a dual-sink vanity, oversized shower with two shower heads, and a private toilet closet, while three additional generously sized bedrooms with ceiling fans and closets share a full bath with two separate vanities, one bedroom featuring a Murphy bed with built-in bookshelves, and an upper-level laundry room adding convenience. The basement is drywalled and ready for finishing, offering flexible space and multiple storage areas to design to your needs, while outdoor living is a standout feature with a covered patio and gazebo-style grilling area, composite decking, and a scenic backyard with a path leading to stairs down to a private pier on Cat Creek.
