Welcome to this beautifully maintained, turnkey home on a private .41-acre fenced lot backing to a wooded preserve. With its southwest orientation, the home enjoys wide-open evening skies and, unlike many in the area, is outside the flood zone. Designed with an open floor plan, soaring 9’ ceilings, and oversized windows, the interior is filled with natural light. The main level features a private office, powder room, and a spacious living room with cathedral ceiling, built-in cabinetry, recessed lighting, and a gas fireplace. The dining area and kitchen—with upgraded granite counters, lightly used stainless appliances, and breakfast nook—flow seamlessly to the composite screened porch and deck, where expansive glass sliders frame tranquil wooded views. The main-level primary suite offers a large walk-in closet and spa-style bath with dual vanities, soaking tub, oversized shower, and private water closet. Upstairs are three generously sized bedrooms, two with en suite baths. None are located above the primary suite, ensuring privacy. An oversized two-car garage provides excellent storage, complete with heavy-duty shelving and an extra refrigerator. Recent updates include dual HVAC systems (2025, transferable warranty), premium black aluminum fencing with two locking gates (2024, transferable warranty), a new storm door with self-storing screen (2025, transferable warranty), and fresh landscaping (2024–25). The fenced yard is only part of the property—beyond the gate, the deep rear lot extends into a partially wooded area. Additional features include a tankless water heater, gas heat, ceiling fans, irrigation system, outdoor shower, and inviting front porch. Located in The Refuge at Dirickson Creek, a sought-after, amenity-rich community, residents enjoy a pool, clubhouse with fitness center, tennis, pickleball, basketball, volleyball, kayak storage, and boat launch with direct access to Dirickson Creek, Assawoman Bay, the C&D Canal, and the Atlantic. With mature trees, lush landscaping, low HOA fees, and a prime location near Fenwick Island, Ocean City, Bayside Golf, Freeman Stage, and walking distance to a cafe and supermarket, the setting is unmatched. Offered mostly furnished (exclusion list to be provided).
