2546 ASTER RD Port Republic, MD 20676

Million dollar view for a fraction of the price - welcome to 2546 Aster Road in one of the most spectacular communities in Southern Maryland, Scientists’ Cliffs! An elevated community on the Chesapeake Bay and this being one of the few waterfront homes on the market at this time makes this the scarce property you'll want to own! This home was recently featured on an HGTV program which showcased its spaciousness and impressive views.



Wake up to majestic sun rises across over 8 miles of Chesapeake Bay as you look East. The moon reflections over the Bay in the evenings are equally breathtaking. And if that’s not enough, watch the bald eagles and osprey soar overhead and the cruise ships and beautiful sailboats pass by all from your expansive composite deck while sipping your morning coffee or evening wine or both! The owners even reported seeing dolphins from the vaulted living room on multiple occasions!


Children and adults alike enjoy strolling the 2 miles of community beach, collecting sea glass and hunting for shark teeth and fossils!


INTERIOR FEATURES

This amazing and truly unique 4 bedroom 2.5 bath home is ready for you to start making memories! It features 2 bedrooms and a full bath on each level with an additional half bath on the main level. The living room is the center of the indoor space sporting rustic tongue and groove ceilings anchored by a cozy and enjoyable wood burning stove. Off the larger than average sized kitchen is a bonus screened in porch which is great for additional storage or to set up seating to feel the Bay breeze.


EXTERIOR FEATURES

The Bay front yard is perfect for laying out or tending to your small herb garden. The deck railing gives you security and comfort while spending your days outdoors. The yard is also terraced, offering multiple levels for your own ideas. Three separate outdoor storage rooms give you ample space for your power tools, kayaks and other aquatic gear.
