About This Home

As of December 2025

Welcome to 16 Carol Ann Court — a classic two-story Colonial with brick & vinyl exterior, tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in the highly sought-after Caravel Farms community. Offering nearly 3,000 square feet of above-grade living space (source: public records), This well-built 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home combines timeless character with thoughtful updates, generous room sizes, and a private, park-like setting. The inviting brick and vinyl exterior is accented by mature landscaping and a spacious two-car garage. Inside, a traditional yet open layout provides distinct spaces for living and entertaining while maintaining an easy flow throughout the main level. Step into a welcoming slate-tiled Foyer, where the quality craftsmanship is immediately apparent. To the left, a bright and spacious formal living room features large windows, gleaming hardwood floors, crown molding, and a warm, neutral tone that complements the wood trim. Adjacent is the formal dining room, complete with wainscoting, built-in corner cabinets, and space to host memorable gatherings. The updated kitchen is the heart of the home — showcasing granite countertops, tile flooring, oak cabinetry, stainless-steel appliances, double sink w/ updated fixtures and plenty of workspace for everyday meal prep as well as when entertaining. A generous sized breakfast area provides a comfortable spot for casual dining and overlooks the cozy family room. Anchored by a brick front propane fireplace w/ mantel, the family room exudes warmth with exposed ceiling beams, custom built-ins, and hardwood floors. From here, glass sliders lead to a bright, heated sunroom addition — a standout feature of this home — offering a stand-alone propane stove & a portable AC for comfort any time of the year! The Sun Room is spacious & is surrounded by windows for loads of natural light featuring tile flooring, skylights, and access to the rear deck and yard making it a perfect space for relaxing year-round or entertaining friends and family. Conveniently located off the kitchen, the laundry/mudroom includes built-in cabinetry, a utility sink, and access to both the backyard and garage. A powder room completes the main level amenities. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with double closets, a private vanity area, and a full bath featuring ceramic tile flooring and a walk-in shower. Three additional bedrooms — all well-proportioned and two with exposed hardwood floors — provide ample flexibility for family, guests, or home office space. The full hall bath includes a double-sink vanity and tiled tub/shower combination. The full unfinished basement provides exceptional storage and potential for future expansion — whether it’s a recreation area, home gym, or additional living space. Heading outdoors, take note of the spacious deck & sunroom that overlook the fenced backyard with mature trees and two storage sheds for lawn equipment or hobbies. The property backs to open space of Caravel Academy, giving the yard a peaceful, park-like feel. Additional highlights include: New architectural shingle roof (2022); Replacement windows throughout; Two-car garage with inside access; Situated in one of Bear’s most established neighborhoods, Caravel Farms is known for its wide streets, mature trees, and convenient location — just minutes from major routes, shopping, restaurants, and schools. With its combination of space, quality, and setting, 16 Carol Ann Court offers the perfect blend of comfort, functionality, and timeless appeal. Don’t miss this opportunity to make this beautiful home your own. Put this great home on your next tour! See it! Love it! Buy it! One of the sellers is a licensed realtor.
