About this home
MAJOR PRICE IMPROVEMENT - SWIM IN YOUR OWN BACKYARD OASIS NEXT SPRING Welcome to 7868 Bethany Lane, an excellent opportunity to own a one-level home in La Plata with tons of potential! This property offers 3 bedrooms, 1 full bath, a spacious living room, and an additional den with cozy fireplace, perfect for gatherings or a quiet night in. The home also includes a laundry/mud room with side door access leading directly into the fully fenced backyard-ideal for kids, pets, and outdoor entertaining. While the home does need some minor rehab and cosmetic updating (paint, flooring, kitchen and bath cabinetry, deck, and pool), the fundamentals are already in place: the HVAC system and roof are newer, and all appliances convey. With a little sweat equity, this property can truly shine as a comfortable and attractive residence. Located in Charles County, residents enjoy easy access to the conveniences of La Plata, Waldorf, and Southern Maryland's scenic parks and waterways. Commuters will appreciate the proximity to major employers and military bases: Pax River Naval Air Station - approx. 45 minutes Joint Base Andrews - approx. 45 minutes Washington, D.C. - about 1 hour drive Whether you're looking for a primary residence to make your own, or an investment opportunity with strong upside, this is one of the few affordable single-level homes available so close to everything.
