Here, located in a quiet cul-de-sac, is a property that is Big & Beautiful both inside and out! It starts with a well-designed landscaping plan: part tropical, as well as floral & lush. It makes for striking curb appeal as you pull into the driveway. The lot is immense at 1 ½ acres and yet the backdrop of a wooden area with young & mature trees encircles the home, giving it a protected, cozy feel. There is plenty of open space for a garden, yard games, the pets and kids of all ages to run around. This yard has a prominent flagpole area, a 2-story playhouse, a large carport, a cement pad for BBQ grill, a massive driveway and 2 sheds (1 was new in 2020 & has electric). The Cherry on the Top is the tropical, gorgeous in-ground pool with a pool house that has a kitchen, tiki bar, storage closet, outdoor shower, and half bath (new pool liner Aug 2021). This beautiful home is 3 levels and has 5 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms with hardwood floors on the 1st level and in 2 bedrooms. The elegant front door opens to the foyer that has a deep coat closet and an under-stairs storage cubby. On the left is a hallway that houses a storage closet, half bath & mechanical closet. It ends into an expansive living room with a pellet stove that sits on a corner platform to keep you warm on those chilly days & nights. The craftmanship done to the hearth, wall & mantel here is gorgeous. The enormous back deck is ideal for entertaining or relaxing in this little slice of paradise. On the other end of the hallway is the kitchen & dining area. Here is where you exit to a front deck and a charming side screened porch. The eat-in kitchen features a center island, a breakfast bar and stainless-steel appliances (new 2019/2020). The dining area is well suited for small & large gatherings. The over-the-top laundry room is special in its décor & in its design! Yes, it has a washer, dryer, laundry sink and plenty of countertops, shelves & cabinets. But it also it has perfect bar complete with a wine cooler and a half door to show off how pretty this space is! Retreat upstairs to the 2nd floor to find the primary suite with a walk-in closet, vanity area & ensuite bathroom with a jacuzzi tub. There are 2 more bedrooms and another full bath here. Now onto the 3rd level where the last 2 bedrooms are and 2 more full bathrooms. Both these rooms have a ladder walk-up to a loft storage area. The one bedroom has been set up nicely as an office and family room. New Roof in December 2019. Relish the peace & sounds of nature sitting around the firepit, the pool, or from the screened porch, the back deck or the front deck. There are so many ways to live, work and play in this wonderful home that is great for family and entertaining. There is No HOA; a short drive gets you to downtown Berlin and Assateague Island beach is just 12 miles away. Soon you could be enjoying the summer days & nights in this idyllic spot.
