In the grand style of a pre-War classic Eastern Shore property, this 3,700-square-foot home certainly has all the charm, character, and grace a homeowner could ask for. Located in historic Oxford, this property offers prime water access to the Tred Avon River, the Choptank River, and the Chesapeake Bay.
Serenely nestled on a quiet street with sightlines to the water, you can’t make a better land-to-sea transition than this iconic property offers. A white picket fence and light cedar shake exterior greets visitors to the two-story colonial that dates to 1900. Mature trees and gorgeous brick paver walkways lead you in and about this special place that has been tastefully added to and upgraded over the years.
The illustrious old bones of this home are evident the moment one steps inside to see a sizable foyer with handsome Herringbone hardwood floors and sightlines to an architecturally stunning curved staircase. The entry leads to a gorgeous formal dining room with dual corner cupboard detail and sliding glass door views to the waterfront and access to a large, relaxing sunroom.
The huge, all-modern kitchen offers warm, honey-colored hardwoods and fine wood cabinetry throughout. There’s a large center island that seats four on either side, all stainless-steel appliances including a six-burner gas range, and an expanded gathering area with a wall of custom built-ins on top of a rustic, red brick tile floor.
There’s a show-stopping family room with cathedral ceiling with rustic wood beam treatment, and huge picture windows to the waterfront, as well as a handsome study/sitting room with a stately Federal-style fireplace on this floor.
A roomy and romantic primary suite has its own wing with fabulous, custom walk-in closets and over-sized sliding glass door views to the water. The en suite bath is like a dream with its own picture postcard view of the water, a luxurious bathtub, dual vanities, and separate shower. There are two additional roomy bedrooms, both offering access to a second level balcony and gorgeous hardwood floors on the upper level.
From the home’s scenic back patio, you are mere steps from the property’s deep-water dock and 18,000-pound boat lift; a sure way to enjoy summer on Maryland’s iconic Eastern Shore.
