Picture yourself relaxing on the front porch or the screened-in back porch, surrounded by the tranquility of nature. The property offers secure storage with two sheds and lovely grounds, that backyard was enhanced by Wentworths’ landscaping. Inside, you'll find a formal living room, a formal dining room, and a spacious family room featuring so much natural lighting. The breakfast area opens directly to the screened-in porch—perfect for enjoying crabs this summer and outdoor gatherings. The kitchen boasts stainless steel appliances and upgraded countertops, while the oversized laundry area provides ample storage space.

Throughout the home, you'll notice thoughtful touches that make it truly special. While it's tucked away off the beaten path, it's still convenient to all modern amenities, with easy access to routes into St. Mary’s, local parks, and military bases. This charming property offers the perfect blend of privacy and convenience.
