Located just steps from the Miles River, this picturesque property offers nearly three acres of land and just under 5,000 square-feet of well-conceived living space for its new owners to start realizing their Eastern Shore dreams.

From their first views inside the home’s roomy entry hall, visitors are drawn into the living space along gorgeous, white oak hardwood floors. A beautiful, two-toned staircase cascades to the left of the foyer. Ahead, there’s a formal living room with fireplace, and a few steps to the right there’s a large entryway to the home’s open-plan family and dining room. Elements of crown molding and

neutral tones, give the space a pulled-together vibe accented by the room’s stylish, Federal fireplace and a series of glass panel doors that not only provide access to property’s surrounding outdoor living and patio space, but also to the soothing water views of the Miles River.

This home has a cheery white and bright kitchen with custom cabinetry, including an awesome bespoke refrigerator. A classic bronze range hood in the French style takes center stage over a professional-grade, eight-burner stovetop with center grill. The room is large enough to accommodate a butcher block prep station, as well as a separate island topped with luxe granite that can seat three for breakfast or a coffee break.

Off the kitchen there’s an airy three-season room with its own dining space, beadboard ceiling, a rustic tile floor, and lovely pool with waterfront views.

The home offers five bedrooms starting with a first-floor primary suite. This is a homeowner’s oasis with its French door access to the patio area, as well as a spa-quality bathroom with a huge, glass enclosed shower with two shower heads, gleaming white marble floors, a sumptuous marble-topped dual vanity, and a walk-in closet flooded with the natural light of oversized windows.

Three additional large bedrooms and two baths are located on the upper level, and above that there’s a fully finished attic level of the home that boasts enough square footage for a billiard room, and an entire office suite for enhanced working-from-home potential.

When the work day is over, the new homeowners can retreat to the tranquil confines of their outdoor living area with an Olympic size saltwater swimming pool, and breeze-swaying marshy grasses that surround the riverside and private pier area; its two boat slips providing convenient access to adventures out to the Miles River and beyond.
