Cottage Living in St. Michaels

By Lisa J. Gotto

Extraordinary sunset views are this property’s claim to fame—that and its prime St. Michaels waterfront location. This well-built, well-maintained cottage-style home on more than two acres offers an idyllic setting to launch an afternoon of boating from the property’s 200 feet of protected shoreline and 100-foot dock with boat lift.

Inside, a light and airy dining area with tray ceiling treatment overlooks the water and a large, knotty pine kitchen with tons of counter space, ceiling beams, and ceramic tile floors flows well into the adjacent dining and living spaces. A peninsula with inset range and breakfast bar affords great sightlines to the main living/entertainment area, as well as overlooks the home’s scenic waterside deck and outdoor seating area.
