For Sale in Silver Spring, Maryland: A Mid-Century Modern Retreat in Northwood Park View, Montgomery County

Some homes are about square footage. This one is about lifestyle, and it's coming soon to one of Calvert County's best-kept secrets.

3215 Woodridge Ave in Port Republic, MD 20676 will soon be available in the Kenwood Beach community, listed at $650,000. This beautifully renovated 3-bedroom, 2-bath cottage offers 1,488 square feet of living space on a .22-acre lot, sitting directly across the street from a long community beach and private pier on the Chesapeake Bay.

The home blends modern updates with the character that makes Chesapeake Bay cottages so beloved. Original architectural details have been preserved throughout, and the updated kitchen, bathrooms, and systems mean buyers can move in and start enjoying the water right away. Outdoor living is the centerpiece here, with an expansive terrace under a pergola, an all-weather bar for fresh Maryland crabs, and a hot tub positioned for sunset views over the Bay. A bunk room adds flexible sleeping space for family and guests.

Kenwood Beach sits in Port Republic, Calvert County, Maryland, with optional community dues of $150 a year that grant access to the pier and a full calendar of neighborhood events. Short-term rentals are permitted, which opens the door for buyers looking at this as a primary home, a weekend retreat, or an income-producing investment.

Location is a big part of the appeal. Port Republic and the surrounding Calvert County waterfront communities offer easy access to Prince Frederick, Solomons Island, and Route 4, with a manageable commute north to Annapolis and Washington, D.C. Buyers connected to Joint Base Andrews or Naval Air Station Patuxent River regularly look to this stretch of the Bay for the balance of quiet living and commutable distance.
