Property Description

Welcome to your waterfront dream home! This stunning 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom rancher with a dedicated office/den and home gym offers luxurious single-level living right on the shores of the Back River leading to the Chesapeake Bay. Boasting expansive bay views, updated features, and private outdoor amenities, this home is a rare find.

Step through the elegant tile foyer and immediately feel at home. To your right, you'll find a spacious den or office—perfect for remote work or creative pursuits. Turning left, the space opens up into a breathtaking riverfront kitchen, dining, and living area with panoramic water views. The open-concept kitchen overlooks Back River and flows effortlessly into the family room, where a two-sided glass wood-burning fireplace creates a cozy ambiance during colder months.

Dark bamboo flooring runs throughout much of the home, adding warmth and character. The primary suite is a true retreat, featuring a walk-in closet with custom barn doors, a beautiful spa-like bathroom with a soaking tub, and its own private sliding glass door leading to the back deck—perfect for enjoying morning coffee with uninterrupted views of the river. A built-in cabinet system and sitting area complete the primary bedroom.

Off the family room, you'll discover a bright sunroom with more gorgeous water views and multiple sliding glass doors that lead to your private backyard, and a fully functioning hot tub that conveys with the property.

On the opposite wing of the home are four additional bedrooms. Bedroom 2 and Bedroom 3 are connected by a convenient Jack-and-Jill bathroom. Bedroom 4 is located near the rear of the home adjacent to the home gym, and Bedroom 5 is tucked quietly along the same hallway—ideal for guests or additional family members. A third full bathroom with a shower/tub combo is located just off the kitchen.

The home also features a spacious laundry room with pantry storage and access to the attic, which offers approximately 5–6 feet of standing room. This room also houses the water heater (replaced in 2014) and updated electrical panels.

Outside is your private waterfront oasis. A durable Trex deck spans the rear of the home, complemented by custom shutters made from repurposed wood. The new pier, built with extra height in 2014, includes one boat lift—capable of supporting up to 10,000 pounds—and three jet ski lifts that each support up to 3,000 pounds. All with electric and running water access. The home also features dual-zoned HVAC, new ductwork installed under the home in 2014, a newer AC unit (2014), and a roof also replaced in 2014. The crawl space offers additional storage and utility access.

Lush landscaping includes your very own peach and pear trees along the side of the home, and multiple outdoor hose hook-ups for convenience.

This one-of-a-kind riverfront property blends everyday comfort with waterfront luxury. Don't miss your chance to experience life on the water at 520 Riverside Drive.
