This 6,000-square-foot home is better defined with the term “sanctuary” than it is with “house.” Situated just steps from the banks of the Quarter Creek off the Wye River in Queenstown, this property has one of the most enviable locations in all of the Eastern Shore.
The simple, white exterior presents itself as a stately, yet charming expanded colonial on 5.2 acres of wooded, natural beauty enhanced by expert landscaping and a hardscape that provides various patio and gathering areas for a sublime outdoor living experience.
Inside, the home’s main level flows along rich, chestnut-colored hardwood floors and features gorgeous archways accented with impressive trim work and crown molding. A huge, formal sunny living room with fireplace is located to the right of the entry, and a roomy, formal dining room is located to the left.
A spacious, gourmet, custom-crafted kitchen offers a granite-topped, center prep island and seating for three at its peninsula-based breakfast bar. Its stainless-steel appliance package includes a six-burner gas range with grill top and an impressive, stainless-steel hood treatment. Glass-front cabinets and a bay-windowed breakfast nook overlooking the home’s outdoor living area provide a tranquil start to any day.
In addition to a main level family room, this home offers a gorgeous second kitchen with a family gathering area located on the home’s lower level. Rustic, terra cotta tile flooring combines with custom wood cabinetry, an expanded flat top grill/range with gorgeous copper exhaust hood, and a huge, L-shaped countertop with bar seating for six. Overhead, there’s a coffered ceiling with white wood beams and a contrasting stained bead board base. This room offers an attractive indoor respite from the summer sun with its large seating area and a series of French doors providing access to the property’s impressive pool and patio area.
All four bedrooms are located on the home’s upper level, including its attractive and large owners’ suite with wide-planked, knotty wood floors, a large, bay window with built-in bench seating, and a separate, walk-in closet and changing area. The en suite bath features a dual vanity, enormous garden tub, and a dual-head, walk-in shower.
In addition, to the property’s outstanding landscaping, the home’s new owners will have the convenience of their own private pier with two boats lifts and five feet of mean low water. A true, Queenstown dream come true!
