More than a home, this is truly a recreational property and boater's paradise. Nestled on a promontory point above Still Pond Creek and just a short drive from historic Chestertown, this house was designed by iconic architect Peter Newlin to provide a coziness and connection to nature that embodies the Eastern Shore lifestyle. Jutting out from the bulkhead designed the Army Corps of Engineers, the dock awaits you for boating adventures and quick access to the Chesapeake Bay directly from the protected waters of Still Pond Creek. Life slows down while appreciating the water and wildlife from the deck. The spacious screened porch is perfect for crab feasts with unmatched views. A lane for vehicles and also a winding walking path leads you down to the private beach where memories and tans are made. The great room boasts vaulted ceilings with exposed beams and flows out with sliders and a side door to the screened porch and deck for indoor-outdoor living. A trio of picture windows and the wood burning fireplace are perfect for cuddling up and looking out over the water on cool winter days. There are two bedrooms and full bath on the main level and a primary suite with ensuite bathroom, vaulted ceilings, and walk in cedar closet upstairs. The large walkout basement is the perfect space for the kayaks, bikes, and other toys that come with living on the Eastern Shore. The land itself is low maintenance but expansive allowing for calming hikes and relaxation in nature. Invest wisely in this irreplaceable asset less than 2 hours from Washington DC, Philadelphia, and Baltimore.
