The neighborhood of Tricefields, near St. Michaels, is close enough to town by cycling or even walking, making it an ideal setting for anyone who wants the peace of rural living with an easy commute to city life. It’s a world away from the bustling hotels, shops, and restaurants that make St. Michaels a favorite retreat for locals and visitors. Accessible from town via Boundary Lane and Tricefield Road, the small handful of properties are all located along the waterfront of a quiet peninsula that juts into San Domingo Creek. Defining characteristics of the community are long driveways, private lots with mature trees, and significant waterfront footage.
This Tricefields house is a cedar-sided, contemporary three-bedroom, three-bath residence with a separate two-bedroom, one and one-half bath guest house on just over 3.5 acres. The front entry features a long driveway lined with trees that leads to a circular parking pad and two car-garage. Crepe myrtles, a variety of flowering shrubs, and a view to the water beyond almost begging visitors to slow down for a rest under the shade. Inside, hardwood floors lead from one space to the next. Remarkably, every room in the house features windows with waterfront views; in fact, most of the windows are floor-to-ceiling or large and arched, evoking the sense that the outside is simply another living space. Even the kitchen features large windows and an exceptional view. Here, appliances like the side-by-side refrigerator, double ovens, and six-burner stovetop are stainless steel. A tiled floor contrasts with solid wood cabinetry. There is eat-in space for four and easy entry to the formal dining room and spacious sunroom. The library has an entire wall of built-in bookcases that call to any lover of quiet afternoons and cozy evenings.
The master suite is conveniently on the main level. It features an en suite bath with double sinks, and a separate shower and tub.
A bedroom, office, and storage space are all located on the loft-like second floor.
The backyard features a waterside pool and cabana, as well as an outdoor kitchen. The five-foot-wide dock has water and electric; notably, it is perfect for every sort of watercraft with a five-foot Mean Low Water (MLW) line.
“This property is amazing for a variety of reasons,” selling agent Deborah Meredith says. “Firstly, although the neighborhood is within walking distance to town, it’s so private even many locals don’t even realize it’s there. Secondly, it’s just so beautiful with the mature trees and super private waterfront lots. You really don’t even see your neighbors.”
The new owners are looking forward to making the property their own and look forward to enjoying the unique waterfront situation their new home affords.
