12 Cherry Rd, Riva, MD 21140

Welcome to a charming 3 bedroom, 2 full bath cottage in the waterfront community of Sylvan Shores! Located just three houses from the neighborhood's recreation pier and beach – one of four community-owned access points to South River – this home is your gateway to the beauty, nature, and water activities the river provides. Relax amid birdsong in the fully fenced yard featuring a new paver walkway and patio (with a view to the river). Or come inside and enjoy the light-filled spaces through walls of windows. Enter from the covered front porch into the upgraded galley kitchen featuring gorgeous hardwood flooring, granite counters, stainless steel appliances, a double stainless-steel sink, and room for your breakfast table under the front window. The cozy dining area, right off the kitchen, looks out to the yard, patio, and the river beyond. Move into the large living room with a brick propane fireplace, built-in shelving, and a new ceiling fan. The primary bedroom is off the living room, with a Jack-and-Jill full bath separating it from a bright bedroom 2 (or possible sunroom or office). Enjoy this room's gleaming hardwood flooring, walk-in closet, and access to the rear yard and open its double doors to spread into a bonus room that could hold your desk or children's play area. Beyond that is the third bedroom, while another full bath (with a tub-shower combination) is off the living room. A large cellar provides a laundry area and ample storage space, while the attic offers further storage potential. Boaters will love Sylvan Shores' two boat launches and piers, two canoe/kayak racks, and boat trailer parking. You'll also find a community playground, community clubhouse for event rentals, and a ballfield. This home is close to dining and markets and all of the outdoor activities of a waterfront community -Don't miss it!
