5840 SHADY SIDE Road Just minutes from Franklin State Park, the West River, and the Chesapeake Bay, this 4-bedroom, 2-bath Churchton home captures the essence of relaxed coastal living. Whether you're drawn to peaceful waters, community piers, bayside dining, or quaint local shops, this location offers it all. Step inside to a spacious main level with warm wood flooring and architectural columns that subtly define the space, creating an elegant area for a formal sitting room or dining room. Just off the entry, a flexible bonus room with its own closet offers endless possibilities-home office, play space, or creative studio, whatever your heart desires. The bright galley kitchen feels like a Tuscan escape, with crisp white cabinetry, butcher block counters, floating shelves, and a painted white brick accent wall that adds charm and texture. Tile floors provide a special touch, while natural light enhances the inviting ambiance. Just beyond, you'll find a main-level bedroom and full bath, along with a convenient laundry area. On the other side of the home, a den, second bedroom, and formal dining room offer even more living space, while the family room-with vaulted ceilings, skylights, and French doors-creates a warm and welcoming gathering spot before heading upstairs. The upper level features a lofty third bedroom and a full bath, while the generous primary suite overlooks the backyard and includes two sizable closets-offering comfort and privacy. Outside, mature trees frame the backyard with natural beauty, and an attached two-car garage adds both practicality and storage.
