Comprised of two parcels on Spring Creek and boasting approximately 230 feet of water frontage and tranquil water views, this unique property is absolutely charming. The two-level farmhouse exudes the character of a historic structure but also offers the modern amenities that buyers desire. Plus, the delightful guest cottage is a wonderful addition that greatly enhances the property’s appeal. The property, which was listed on April 8, 2019, closed on July 22, 2019.
The main level of the home features an open floor plan that seamlessly blends the living, kitchen, and dining areas into one common space, creating an easy flow that is perfect for entertaining. The stylish living room includes a wood-beamed ceiling that adds a rustic feel, laminate wood-look flooring, a cozy wood-burning fireplace, and sliding glass doors that lead to the spacious waterside screened-in porch, which offers an ideal setting to relax and enjoy the serene views.
The kitchen opens to the dining area and is appointed with white cabinetry, sleek granite countertops, high-end stainless steel appliances, a breakfast bar, and ceramic tile flooring. This beautiful space also offers access to the waterside deck. Adorned with a wood-beamed ceiling and laminate wood-like flooring that continue the design established in the living room, the dining area includes sliding glass doors that lead to the screened-in porch.
Located on the second level, the elegant master bedroom features a beamed ceiling that is painted white and brightly colored painted walls, which combine to create an eye-catching aesthetic, and hardwood floors. This level also includes the master bath and two additional bedrooms.
The charming guest cottage allows homeowners to accommodate family and friends in comfort and style and features beautifully designed living spaces, including a living room, a kitchen, two bedrooms, and a bath. In addition, the property features a waterside in-ground pool, a private pier, and a small pier at the guest cottage. Indeed, this charming retreat is a veritable paradise where the delights of waterfront living abound.
“This home combined with the cottage makes it the perfect family compound,” says Kathy Christensen of Benson & Mangold Real Estate, the listing agent for the property. “The property is reminiscent of the old summer fishing camps with cottages in close proximity tucked along waterfront pockets in the area. The home was renovated to open up the living and kitchen space to accommodate large gatherings. Cozy and informal, the property is ideal for escaping to the Eastern Shore for relaxing weekends.”
