Tucked into the established Franklin Manor Beach community in Churchton, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom colonial delivers comfortable two-level living with one of the area's most appealing lifestyle perks, water access to the Chesapeake Bay just six blocks away, including a community pier on navigable water. The traditional floor plan makes the most of 1,679 square feet. A welcoming front porch sets the tone before entering through a foyer into the main level, where a formal living room with wood-burning fireplace anchors the space. A separate dining room and eat-in country kitchen offer flexibility for both everyday living and casual entertaining. The main level also includes a half bath for guests. Upstairs, three carpeted bedrooms provide comfortable retreats, anchored by a primary suite with its own full bath. A second full bath serves the remaining bedrooms, and bedroom-level laundry adds everyday convenience rarely found at this price point. This home has been thoughtfully updated and improved over the years, with updates including windows, doors, roof, kitchen, water heater, powder room, laundry, and gutters. Most recently, a new heat exchanger and fully renovated bathrooms (2024) bring the finishing touches that make this home truly move-in ready with nothing left to do. Outside, a large deck extends the living space into a partially fenced backyard, a private setting for morning coffee, weekend gatherings, or simply unwinding at the end of the day. The attached one-car garage with opener adds storage and ease of entry. Practical systems include central air conditioning, heat pump heating, and public sewer. All on a quarter-acre lot along a quiet, graveled private court. With Chesapeake Bay water access steps from your door, this is an exceptional opportunity to enjoy the best of Southern Anne Arundel County living. Come discover what it truly means to Love Being Home.
