There is truly something to love about life’s simple pleasures and that feeling is keenly captured with this lovely piece of property on the Porters Creek waterfront in St. Michaels.
Not too much land or too little, nearly three acres provides for a perfectly situated 2,500-square-foot home offering tranquil water views from nearly every room. Lush grounds with meticulous landscaping welcome you to the tasteful, two-story dwelling with its Tom Sawyer-like backdrop.
The home’s bright interiors benefit from a heaping helping of southern exposure and sunsets here are said to be stunning. A charming foyer with rich, chestnut-colored hardwoods welcome you to the home’s open-plan living space. Large sliding glass doors in the living room envelope the room with natural light that soars to the vaulted ceiling above. From this vantage point, you have a front seat to this home’s peaceful Porters Creek views. A gorgeous, stone fireplace in the room provides an alternate focal point. This wood-burner also has a rustic wood mantel that complements the knotty pine beam above the entry that connects living room to dining room, and then again into the kitchen, creating a space that is convivial and endearing.
The all-white kitchen with peninsula is fully equipped and offers a walk-in pantry and double sliding glass doors, like the dining room, to take advantage of sunny views to the water. This level also offers the convenience of a generous master suite with a separate seating area for impressive water views from a series of large, four-panel bay windows—a special space for reading, or just relaxation and reflection. This room also features a stone-front, wood-burning fireplace and bath suite with dual vanity.
A second-floor loft area leads to the home’s additional two bedrooms; one with a charming dock-side view could also make a quiet, conducive space for an in-home office. There’s opportunity to expand in the spacious attic, and another area to just unwind on the home’s lower level, screened-in back porch.
Whether your grabbing a kayak and taking to the creek, or grabbing your golf clubs and heading to the nearby course at the Links at Perry Cabin (this home also offers an available golf membership), you’ll have plenty of ways to play and spend the day living the peaceful Eastern Shore life.
