Timing was everything for the new homeowners of this outstanding waterfront property in Tilghman. With five acres of land and miles and miles of Bay views from its positioning at the mouth of the Choptank River, this 2,800-square-foot home is a customized, rustic retreat loaded with amenities.
The buyers patiently waited for the perfect waterfront property. This one checked all of their boxes, especially the endless view of the Chesapeake Bay and its privacy.
Patience pays off, as this residence offers incredible views from the moment you walk inside the two-story, transitional-style home. A charming, timber portico, lantern sconces, and a set of stylish charcoal-colored doors with side-light panels welcome guests to a spacious entry. From here the home leads to an exquisite family room with a two-story wall of windows to the waterfront and rustic wood framing throughout. This space is highlighted with a stone-front feature fireplace wall and rich, gorgeous hardwoods running underfoot here and then transitioning into a main living and dining area.
This entire open-plan space which extends to a modern farmhouse kitchen is awash with natural light from the skylights above and the walls of windows that make up the water-facing dining room.
The kitchen also has a two-story ceiling detail with wood inlay and knotty beams. White walls and all-white cabinetry pair with sleek stainless-steel appliances and stylish nickel hardware for a perfect, polished farmhouse look. A huge center island topped with white stone offers storage, breakfast seating, and an integrated gas top stove.
A screened-in porch extension is located just beyond the dining room, and this entire space opens to the property’s extensive outdoor deck, pool, patio area, and a backyard that leads out to the expansive water playground of the Choptank.
The main level of the home offers two large bedrooms that share a spacious Jack-n-Jill bathroom and offer amenities like wood beams and access to a private, screened-in porch.
A huge and dreamy owners suite is located on the level above and features gorgeous in-laid wood ceilings with beams, a white shiplap feature wall, and tons of natural light and water views from a series of windows and a skylight. The en suite bath is a spa-like retreat with a soaking tub, separate vanities, gorgeous windows and skylights, and a large, walk-in shower.
Just off the bedroom, the owners have a private sitting room that can be accessed via spiral staircase, which also leads to the home’s cupola/outlook feature up above.
Along with its amazing pool and patio area, this property features a three-bay garage, a greenhouse, storage for kayaks, and an outdoor shower and restroom, checking every box and then some for this property’s patient new owners.
