From gorgeous Miles River views to decades of history and prominence, this 2,900-square-foot property has it all, including 500 feet of waterfrontage. Situated on a premier lot in Talbot County, the residence, once owned by opera legend John Charles Thomas, stands alone on a point off of Diamond Back Cove.

Restored and updated to retain its charm, the home provides the perfect private oasis and is surrounded by lush, mature landscaping. A screened-in porch features Victorian period woodwork and rustic, painted beams above. Just past the inviting screened-in porch doors, the home opens to a gorgeous living and dining room with a main level floorplan that is open and proceeds along rich, cinnamon-colored hardwood floors. 

This entire space is flooded with light from large windows on every wall. The living room features an elegant white brick fireplace and flows effortlessly into a gracious formal dining space that affords beautiful waterfront views. 

The farmhouse-style kitchen has been upgraded to include tall ceilings and a skylight. All white cabinetry is enhanced with glass-front doors and the center of the room hosts a convenient, gas cooktop island that extends to a convenient, eat-in breakfast area. All stainless-steel appliances, including a wine fridge, make the space posh for entertaining.

The main floor of the home accommodates a spacious primary suite with its own sitting room, gorgeous pocket doors to the bedroom, and a light-filled en suite bath with garden tub. The bedroom features a curved wall of windows to the water and attractive beadboard ceilings. 

The main floor also offers a large home office with beautiful views of the property and the river, and there’s a comfy sitting room on this level for family movie night. 

A large, guest bedroom with en suite bath and water views can be found on the upper floor, as well as an additional bedroom and another full bath.

Outside, there’s a veritable garden of Eden with full, flowering trees, lush grounds, a luxurious in-ground swimming pool with spa, various paver patios, and a gazebo, all overlooking the property’s private pier and its amazing access to the Miles River.
