Luxury, Space & Water-Access Living Welcome to Patuxent Palisades, one of Dunkirk’s most desirable water-oriented communities, where quiet streets, spacious homesites, and access to the Patuxent River lifestyle create an elevated Northern Calvert experience. Set on 1.33 acres among impressive water-access and waterfront homes, this move-in-ready 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath brick rambler offers modern comfort, major improvements, one-level living, generous parking, and an incredible backyard made for entertaining. Positioned toward the front of the lot, the home opens to a remarkable rear setting with two fenced areas plus a wide open lawn. There is room for cookouts, gatherings, pets, play, gardening, outdoor dining, future enhancements, or quiet evenings surrounded by mature trees. The driveway offers plenty of parking for guests, while the two-car garage and detached outbuilding/workshop add valuable storage, utility, and project space. Inside, timeless rambler appeal meets a refreshed, move-in-ready feel. The main living areas offer a comfortable flow with natural light, skylights, updated flooring, and a dramatic vaulted living room featuring exposed beam detail, built-in display shelving, and a striking painted-brick fireplace wall. The renovated kitchen includes white cabinetry, upgraded countertops, stainless steel appliances, recessed lighting, and a bright connection to the dining area, creating an inviting hub for everyday meals and effortless entertaining. A custom built-in with glass-front cabinetry, serving space, and wine storage adds a polished touch. All four bedrooms are located on the main level, offering the ease of one-level living without sacrificing flexibility. The primary suite includes generous closet space, a private bath, and direct outdoor access. Additional bedrooms are well positioned for guests, work-from-home needs, hobbies, or everyday living, while the separate den/office provides even more space to relax, work, or create. The laundry/mudroom adds practical function with cabinetry, counter space, and a sink. The sellers have invested significantly during their ownership, completing meaningful, high-value improvements throughout the property. Updates include a replaced roof with skylights in 2021; Andersen windows with screens throughout in 2024; Andersen sliding doors replacing the former French doors in both the living room and primary bedroom in 2024; new gutters in 2024; a new garage door and opener system in 2024; a replaced water treatment system including salt tank and motor in 2024; replaced driveway and front and rear patios in 2024; capped chimney in 2025; replaced yard fencing in 2025; wall-to-wall carpeting in the bedrooms, living room, and den in 2025; and replaced septic tanks with a new drain field installed in 2025. These updates provide comfort, confidence, and long-term value for the next owner. Outdoor living is where this property truly shines. The 1.33-acre homesite offers rare usable space, with fenced sections for pets or play and a large open area ready for lawn games, gardens, gatherings, a firepit lifestyle, or your own outdoor vision. It feels peaceful and private, yet wonderfully functional for hosting and everyday enjoyment. Beyond the home, Patuxent Palisades offers the lifestyle buyers wait for: a quiet, established, water-access community surrounded by nature, attractive homes, and the relaxed elegance of the Patuxent River. Enjoy the feeling of being tucked away while remaining close to Dunkirk conveniences, commuter routes, schools, parks, shopping, dining, and recreation. A county storm drainage easement was added to the property. Beautifully improved, spacious, peaceful, and positioned in one of Dunkirk’s most sought-after water-oriented communities, 12029 Palisades Drive is more than a home. It is a rare opportunity to enjoy luxury-community living, usable acreage, modern updates, and an everyday lifestyle that feels special from the moment you arrive.
