This tranquil five-acre property in Dorchester County offers serenity, seclusion, and the economic benefit of two houses on one lot.
The primary, two-story home with bones that date back to 1800, offers prized river views and is situated just steps from the water. Inside, the home is warm and welcoming with its sturdy, rustic beamed ceilings above and beautiful, deep-honey-colored hardwood floors below.
Accent walls of knotty pine frame out the main living space and provide a cozy home for a wood-burning fireplace with a gorgeous, dark wood mantle. This part of the main level opens up to a spacious family room with a wall of windows to the water, and sliders that provide easy access to the home’s side patio and waterfront.
The family room flows into a charming dining room with an attractive fireplace of rustic brick and additional waterfront views, which then transitions into a roomy, farmhouse-style kitchen. Recent updates include freshly painted cabinetry and upgraded stainless-steel appliances.
This home offers four attractive bedrooms including a primary suite with water views and a convenient guest bedroom on the main floor with several sunny skylights and floor-to-ceiling windows to the waterfront. An addition to the home provides a second suite with great room for house guests that features a soaring ceiling and brick fireplace detail with a kitchenette and cozy, second-story loft.
The guest house offers a large, front deck with great sightlines to the water. Its two-story design provides a gracious main living area, charming full kitchen, updated full bath, a second-floor lounge, and a second-floor bedroom with waterfront views.
The property extends to include a three-bay garage, scenic, wooded grounds, an in-ground swimming pool, and a private pier just steps from both dwellings, providing opportunities to kayak, boat, and hunt all in one great location.
