This extended style craftsman home has all the allure and charm of a cottage, plus room to roam with a waterfront view. Located in Talbot County on a picturesque five-acre parcel of land nestled among mature trees and skirting the edges of Edge Creek, this custom-built home exudes a character all its own.

Lovely landscaping and lush grounds lead you to the residence’s front entry with its gorgeous craftsman-style door with side panels and stained-glass inserts. Once inside you are transported to a grand open-plan living area with glorious timber beams above and views to the waterfront ahead.

To the right a formal dining area flows forward to the living room with its cozy wood stove and open-plan entry to the kitchen on the left. A huge, floor-to-ceiling window system acts as a seethrough wall to the property’s 1,700 feet of prime water frontage and private dock with boat slip.

The custom kitchen, with all granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances, is large enough for more than one cook and flows around a center island for food prep and buffet/ serving space. Off the kitchen, there’s a sunny breakfast seating area and a family entertainment area for watching TV.

A separate sitting room is located to the right of the main living area and is accessed through a wide doorway with pocket door feature. This part of the home extends to a dedicated office space and the residence’s primary bedroom suite, which could make a great in-law or guest suite also. It offers access to the home’s wraparound patio, a wood-burning fireplace, and an in-room jetted tub. The primary bath offers a stand-alone shower and dual vanity with marble countertops. Throughout this level there is an abundance of unobstructed natural light emanating from all the home’s large picture windows.

An architectural wooden staircase leads to the home’s three additional bedrooms, one of which offers a step-out balcony with a water view. This floor offers various skylights to keep the natural light flowing in. Unique window styles give each room its own distinct personality.

Outside, there’s a second structure on the property providing additional square footage and a large in-ground swimming pool with adjacent jacuzzi offering serene sightlines to the property’s excellent Edge Creek views.

“This was a unique home surrounded by water and a true paradise,” said Listing Agent, Brandon Hoffman. “When meeting the sellers, we walked the property where I learned about their goals and then recommended a game plan to help them achieve it. This was an exciting transaction to be a part of!”
