This precious center hall colonial home is located just four miles from St. Michaels in the charming village of Claiborne. The 2,300-square-foot residence has a pedigree that dates back to the earliest days of the 20th century, but has been thoughtfully updated throughout to address the way we live today.
While the front of the home retains its traditional colonial façade with four standard windows and a gorgeous welcoming entry with sidelights and portico treatment above, the rear of the home has been upgraded with large picture windows to take advantage of home’s prime positioning and southwesterly sightlines out to the Eastern and Chesapeake Bays. Sunsets here are a feast for the eyes—and soul.
Once inside, one immediately notices the impact those new picture windows have on the amount of natural light that flows through the main level, which has been opened to create ease of flow between the kitchen, and the dining and living area on the main level.
Gorgeous, reclaimed wood flooring leads down the center hall along the staircase line to the main living area, and to the right of the entry, guests are welcomed into the all-white, farmhouse-style kitchen with its rustic center island of contrasting, dark distressed wood. This light and bright space offers an all stainless-steel appliance package including a gas range, a four-seat breakfast peninsula, gleaming granite countertops, and incredible views out to the Bay.
A lovely dining area flows easily from the kitchen and toward those large windows for a lovely, waterside dining experience that the new owners can experience every day. The dining space then opens to the living area with its equally great views and its central stone front gas fireplace with rustic wood mantel.
Upstairs, the home offers three roomy bedrooms including the primary and secondary bedrooms with their tranquil water views, and the home’s second full bath.
Outdoors, the front of the home is surrounded by lovely, landscaped plantings, and out back there’s a generous yard and a charming screened-in porch off the kitchen for meals al fresco and fab views of the property’s rip rap shoreline, private boat dock, and miles of Bay waterway.
