2237 Garrity Rd, Saint Leonard, MD 20685

Description

A broad sweep of St. Leonard Creek shoreline, mature woodland, and a serene waterfront setting define this 6.24-acre property. Nearly 800 feet of riprapped water frontage creates an impressive connection to the creek, while pines, poplars, and surrounding trees provide substantial privacy. With no HOA, a separate apartment, extensive garage space, and established waterfront amenities, the property offers considerable potential for personalization.

Inside the 2,400-square-foot main home, expansive wood-trimmed windows bring the landscape into view. Vaulted ceilings, skylights, and an open living area give the interior an airy feel, while a brick fireplace adds warmth and character. A spiral staircase leads to a loft overlooking the living space. Three bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths complete the main residence, which was renovated in 1987. Its existing features offer an inviting starting point for thoughtful updates that reflect your own style.

The detached garage, built in 1998, adds substantial utility with three large vehicle bays, built-in shelving, and a half bath. Above the garage, a separate 1,120-square-foot apartment features one bedroom, one full bath, a full kitchen, and generous living space. Together, the main residence and apartment provide 3,520 square feet of living area across two buildings.

Along the waterfront, the pier offers an extensive docking setup with new Trex decking, multiple slips, a covered boathouse, a floating dock, and a dock shed. Deep-water access and a connection to the Patuxent River make boating a natural part of the property’s appeal. Fishing, crabbing, and time spent watching the creek provide additional ways to enjoy this substantial stretch of shoreline.
A large gunite swimming pool adds another outdoor gathering space. Redone in summer 2024, the pool also includes a recently installed automatic cover. A machine shed and a smaller storage shed complement the garage, providing additional room for tools, equipment, and ongoing projects.

Five acres are enrolled in Maryland’s forest management program, providing reduced property taxes while contributing to the wooded character of the grounds. The combination of open outdoor space, mature trees, and waterfront creates a setting that feels removed from daily activity, with access to Route 2-4, nearby marinas, Broomes Island, and Solomons Island.

From its distinctive interior to its extensive waterfront infrastructure, this property brings together features that would be difficult to duplicate. Enjoy the home as it stands, introduce improvements over time, and explore the potential of a private acreage setting directly on St. Leonard Creek.
