### Agent Description
Welcome to this beautifully maintained Colonial in the highly desirable Crofton community, where timeless charm meets modern updates and exceptional outdoor living. Offering 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, 1,850 square feet of living space, an attached 2-car garage, and a full unfinished basement, this home has been thoughtfully enhanced to provide comfort, efficiency, and peace of mind. Step inside to discover bright and inviting living spaces filled with natural light and designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The spacious floor plan provides comfortable gathering areas, generously sized bedrooms, and endless potential in the unfinished basement, perfect for future expansion, a home gym, recreation room, or additional storage. The true centerpiece of this property is the spectacular backyard retreat featuring a 20' x 40' in-ground saltwater swimming pool, converted to saltwater approximately three years ago and complemented by a mesh safety cover and brand-new pool liner. Whether you're hosting summer gatherings, relaxing poolside, or enjoying an evening under the stars, this outdoor oasis delivers the ultimate staycation experience. Recent improvements include a new HVAC system (2024), energy-efficient replacement windows (2024), a new front entry door (2024), and a new sliding glass door (2024), providing enhanced comfort, efficiency, and curb appeal. The backyard has also been beautifully upgraded with an expansive paver patio and fire pit area installed within the last four years, creating the perfect setting for outdoor entertaining and year-round enjoyment. Conveniently located near shopping, dining, parks, recreation, and major commuter routes, this exceptional property offers the ideal combination of location, lifestyle, and value. Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a move-in-ready home featuring extensive updates, a resort-style backyard, and one of the most desirable outdoor living spaces in the area.
