About This Home

As of August 2025

Tucked away in the sought-after South Stream Community of Elkton, this well-cared-for 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home combines modern updates with warm, inviting spaces designed for everyday comfort. Step inside and you’re greeted by stylish ceramic tile flooring and cozy heated kitchen floors, perfect for chilly mornings.
The kitchen is a true highlight for any home chef, featuring a brand-new tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, two generous pantries, and an open layout that flows seamlessly into the living and dining areas, ideal for hosting family and friends or enjoying quiet nights at home.
Upstairs, the spacious primary suite provides a relaxing escape with a large soaking tub, separate shower, and dual walk-in closets. Three more sizable bedrooms, a second full bath, and a convenient upper-level laundry room make life easy for a busy household.
This home offers peace of mind with thoughtful upgrades, including a new Lennox heating and AC system installed in 2022 (with a transferable warranty), updated carpeting, a basement waterproofing system (2019), brand-new hot water heater (2025) and a lifetime gutter guard system to keep maintenance stress-free.
Step outside to your own private retreat, backing to peaceful woods, the fully fenced backyard is perfect for kids, pets, and outdoor fun. Unwind in the hot tub on the spacious deck or enjoy your morning coffee on the welcoming covered front porch.
This move-in-ready gem truly checks all the boxes! Don’t miss your opportunity to make it yours in one of Elkton’s most desirable neighborhoods!
