This stately family compound consists of a five-bedroom main house with panoramic water views, a three-bedroom guest house, and a charming, one-bedroom apartment above a three-bay garage.
Located on 37 acres in Talbot County, this incomparable estate offers 3,000 feet of prime water frontage on the Tred Avon River. The main house was created in the grand tradition and is loaded with details that speak to prized, “good bones” construction. Gorgeous hardwood floors flow throughout the main level from the home’s gracious front entry flanked on the exterior with impressive Georgian columns. Inside, elements of chair rail, crown molding, and lovely built-ins abound.
Skylights in several rooms provide extra helpings of natural light, keeping the living areas airy and welcoming. A formal living room boasts an attractive Federal-style, wood-burning fireplace, framed on either side by a set of stately arched built-ins.
A large, country kitchen is one of the rooms enhanced by a skylight and a gorgeous feature wall with inset wood-burning fireplace. A charming, eat-in area is located fireside. The kitchen also boasts custom cabinetry, a center island with cooktop, and a large, pass-through with breakfast bar seating.
A nearby formal dining room features its own Federal-style fireplace and superb sightlines out to the river through a set of French doors with side lights.
A stunning highlight of the main level is the home’s huge oval-shaped family room with an incredible curved wall of windows overlooking the waterfront. This room with its soaring ceiling surely sets the scene for many a family gathering.
A main floor primary suite with a separate seating area and walk-in closet also offers an amazing panoramic water view. A series of bedrooms upstairs offers cozy sleeping quarters with fireplaces and charm galore!
Speaking of charm, a three-bedroom guest house doles it out in quaint detail with gorgeous hardwood floors, wood beams above, and yet another, wood-burning fireplace.
The grounds of this property are exquisite and have been meticulously maintained and expertly landscaped with walking paths, lush greenways, and convenient flow to all the estate’s outdoor amenities including an in-ground, heated swimming pool with patio area, tennis courts, and a private pier with boat slip.
“My buyers fell in love with the estate, but were most excited about the lot,” said buyers’ agent Trey Rider. “They felt it could be a true legacy property with its high elevation, southern and western exposure situated on the point at the confluence of the Tred Avon River and Peach Blossom Creek on 37 acres with a private, rural setting only five minutes from downtown Easton. It is truly an exquisite piece of real estate.”
