Why This Deal Stands Out

• Nearly 4,750 sqft of existing structure
• 1.14-acre wooded lot
• Major exterior work already completed
• New-looking siding throughout
• Replacement windows already installed
• Substantial interior reframing completed
• Electrical rough-in visible
• Plumbing rough-in visible
• Seller reports new ductwork
• Existing permit application tied directly to the address
• Large-home Calvert County sales support a $750K–$790K finished exit
• Buyer takes over a project already well beyond the demolition/start-from-scratch stage

The current photos clearly show the new-looking exterior siding and windows, along with extensive interior framing, electrical boxes/wiring, and plumbing rough-in.

Property Overview

2710 Scientists Cliffs Rd is a large detached home in Port Republic currently undergoing a substantial renovation.

The previous structure already measured just under 4,750 sqft total, making this a significant finished-home opportunity once completed. The exterior shell is substantially closed in, while the interior remains open enough for the incoming investor to control the final finishes and retail presentation.

Seller reports a planned configuration of approximately 4,700 finished sqft with up to 8 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. Final approved square footage and legal room count remain subject to permit and County verification.

ARV Support

Working ARV: $775,000

3000 Whispering Dr — $785,000

• 5 bed / 5 bath
• 4,509 sqft
• Excellent size and bath-count match

2225 Saint Margaret Blvd — $770,000

• 5 bed / 4 bath
• 4,577 sqft
• Strong 2026 finished-size comp

241 Oakland Hall Rd — $765,000

• 5 bed / 4 bath
• 5,132 sqft
• Excellent total-size benchmark

2635 Aster Rd — $825,000

• 6 bed / 5 bath
• 4,803 sqft
• Near-exact size class and strong upper-end support

2775 Scientists Cliffs Rd — $655,000

• Same road

The large-home comp set averages roughly $170/sqft. Applying a more conservative $165/sqft to 4,700 finished sqft produces approximately $775,500, supporting the $775K working ARV.

Best Buyer Profile

This opportunity fits:

• Experienced flippers
• General contractors
• Investors comfortable completing an active renovation
• Buyers with established subcontractor relationships
• Investors looking for a larger Calvert County retail exit

This is a finish-out / reconstruction play, not a cosmetic flip. Much of the shell and rough-in work is already underway, allowing the incoming investor to focus heavily on completion and final retail execution.
