Welcome to Historic Fort Howard, where nature, space, and coastal charm come together! Surrounded by beautiful natural scenery and located near multiple points of water access, this spacious 5-bedroom, 4-full-bath Cape Cod offers a flexible floor plan with plenty of room to spread out. Situated across from a wooded wetland area and conveniently located between two state parks, outdoor recreation is just a short drive or bike ride away. The main level features two bedrooms and a full bath, along with a sun-filled living room, family room with gas fireplace and painted brick accent wall, and a spacious kitchen with dining area. Just off the kitchen, the bright sunroom/morning room provides additional living space and direct access to the side yard. Upstairs, you'll find the primary suite with its own private full bath, plus two additional bedrooms connected by a convenient buddy bath. The finished lower level offers even more living and entertaining space with a large built-in bar, full bath, and bonus room with potential for a SIXTH BEDROOM, an office, hobby space, or storage. The unfinished portion provides additional storage, built-in workspace, laundry sink, washer and dryer. Major updates add even more value and peace of mind, including a new roof and windows in 2024, range hood in 2025, and HVAC system in 2026. The front door and dishwasher were also replaced in 2024, while fresh paint throughout much of the home and new upper-level carpeting give the interior a bright, refreshed feel. The home is also served by public water and public sewer. Outside, the fully fenced property includes an additional lot, creating an expansive yard with plenty of space for entertaining, recreation, vehicle or boat storage, and more. You'll also find a storage shed, front porch, deck off the sunroom, and gravel driveway providing convenient off-street parking. The additional lot may offer subdivision potential, subject to verification and approval by Baltimore County and all applicable agencies.
