Situated on a quiet cul-de-sac at the end of a dead-end street, this home offers privacy, minimal traffic, and a peaceful setting that’s hard to find.

Inside, the home is built to last with steel beam construction, offering a level of durability and integrity rarely found.

The property also features low-maintenance yard space, two separate driveways, and an oversized garage, providing exceptional parking, storage, and flexibility for hobbies, boats, or equipment.

One of the standout features is the fully functional lower-level apartment, previously used as a rental and ideal for Airbnb/VRBO income, multigenerational living, or private guest accommodations—offering real income potential and flexibility. Adding even more long-term value, the home includes an owned solar array that covers most—if not all—of the home’s electric usage for much of the year, delivering meaningful energy savings without the burden of a lease. Beyond the property, Western Shores offers access to a private community beach with beautiful white sandy shoreline, basketball hoop, pavilion, swings, and BBQ areas—perfect for relaxing, entertaining, and enjoying the Chesapeake Bay lifestyle.
