Welcome to Idylwood, a stunning waterfront estate in Easton, MD, ideally located between historic Easton and St. Michaels with quick boat access to Oxford. Known as the "New Hamptons of the Chesapeake Bay" by Forbes, Easton is just 1.5 hours from D.C. and Baltimore, and 2 hours from Philadelphia, making Idylwood an accessible luxury retreat. Recently remodeled and updated, the home features modern conveniences and enhanced energy efficiency, blending timeless design with contemporary comfort. The all-brick construction features 10' ceilings, antique pine floors, and top of the line Eagle/Anderson windows and doors. The interiors are spacious and elegant, featuring three wood-burning fireplaces that add a cozy ambiance. The home is incredibly quiet and well-insulated, providing a peaceful and energy-efficient living environment. The first-floor primary suite opens to a bluestone waterside porch with breathtaking sunset views. The second floor includes a game room and four bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, while the third floor offers a thoughtfully designed guest suite for visitors or extended family stays that can be zoned off when not in use. A private gated entrance ensures security and privacy, with the estate’s layout offering the feel and privacy of a larger property but with minimal maintenance. The charming guest cottage complements the main home, featuring a garage, brick-floored kitchen/family room, wood-burning fireplace, and private bedroom/bathroom. Outdoor amenities include a waterside pool and pool house, a fire-pit, a sandy beach shoreline for kayaking and fishing, a 158' x 6' dock with deep-water slips, boat and jet ski lifts, and 6' MLW depth—perfect for yachts or sailboats. Modern features elevate comfort and convenience, including fiber high-speed internet, whole-house and yard mesh Wi-Fi, a Sonos music system, a security system, Invisible Fence, and a multi-zone HVAC system (installed 2024). Sold furnished (with a few exceptions), Idylwood combines architectural excellence, luxurious amenities, and serene living, making it the ultimate turnkey home or retreat.
