About This Home

As of June 2025

** OFFER DEADLINE - 5/5 AT NOON** Welcome to 12543 Calyx Rd, a beautifully crafted custom rambler tucked away on a private lot in the sought-after Chesapeake Ranch Estates community. This bright and airy home boasts hardwood floors throughout, vaulted ceilings that enhance the open feel, and a cozy gas fireplace perfect for cooler evenings. The thoughtfully designed layout includes a spacious two-car garage, elegant paver walkways, and a large deck ideal for outdoor entertaining or simply relaxing with nature. The partially finished walkout basement offers additional living space and endless possibilities for customization.Living in Chesapeake Ranch Estates is about more than just a beautiful home—it's a lifestyle. Enjoy exclusive access to bay and lake beaches, a community playground, and even a private airstrip. Plus, you're just minutes from the vibrant waterfront town of Solomons Island, where marinas, restaurants, and seasonal events await. With convenient access to Patuxent River Naval Air Station and all the shopping and dining in nearby St. Mary’s County, this home perfectly balances privacy, community, and everyday convenience.This home also shines when it comes to maintenance and upgrades: Similar-style Gutter Helmets were installed in 2023 and come with a lifetime warranty, the roof is only four years old (2021), and the HVAC system—including both heat and A/C—was installed in 2022. The hot water heater is also new, and the windows fold in for easy cleaning. Bonus: the master bedroom furniture (except the long dresser) can stay—move-in-ready has never looked better.Don't miss the opportunity to make this charming retreat your own!
