Custom home built in one of Calvert County's premier neighborhoods. Excellent commute location in northern Dunkirk but still only three miles from Dunkirk Town Center. Homes in Patuxent Palisades have access to a large community area which includes a picnic area, walking path and pond. A large, gated dock and ramp provide access to the Patuxent River for fishing, kayaking and boating. This home and garden on a 2+ acre lot are well maintained by the discerning original owners. The main level opens onto a large bluestone patio with a gunite inground pool and arbor-shaded grilling area that is perfect for entertaining and family gatherings. Beyond the patio, a private lawn backs into the woods of the Lyon's Creek wetlands area. The entire garden is professionally landscaped and maintained. The home is open concept with two bedrooms on the main floor, two bedrooms on the second floor and a fifth bedroom in the partially finished basement. Two family rooms, both with gas fireplaces, leave plenty of room to spread out. A third fireplace in the office makes for a comfortable space for a work from home professional. The home is monitored by an ADT Security System with exterior cameras.
