This is surely the dream home for anyone who loves historical beauty and charm. This amazingly well-maintained and meticulously updated property on a quiet, side street in St. Michaels, offers the homeowners a great location just steps away from a vibrant town full of dining and entertainment opportunities.

Inside, a gracious open floor plan, blends the best of how we live today with the grace and charm of years past. The family room off the all-white updated gourmet kitchen is absolutely stunning with a total of ten windows in a semi-circle formation looking out to a courtyard oasis that can be accessed through a set of French doors.

HOME REAL ESTATE

Waterfront Living and Entertaining at its Best

By Lisa J. Gotto E xpansive eastern bay waterfront views are the order of the day for this picturesque property in enviable Goose Point Estates in Stevensville. “Breathtaking” says it best when walking into this bay-front beauty. Its soaring ceilings and other architecturally-pleasing details make this the place to be no matter the season. A lovely, tranquil palette of muted greens and aqua pair exquisitely with white woodwork and rich, expansive wood floors throughout much of the home. The main living area offers a white brick fireplace from floor to ceiling. An all-white kitchen with its own white brick fireplace flows effortlessly into adjacent dining and seating areas, all with that to-die-for view of the Chesapeake Bay. The main floor also offers a spacious master suite, adding that always desirable “forever-home” status. Four additional bedrooms are located on the second floor for ample room to grow or guest rooms galore!

An optimal home for entertaining, the main floor areas open up to the backyard and large in-ground pool. Every area around the pool is primed for partying the summer afternoons and evenings away. A generous covered patio area is accented with a beautiful stone planter that overlooks the pool, and there are two additional seating areas poolside for lively conversation. The pool itself overlooks a tranquil and well-landscaped koi pond, and then the eye drifts off to life-affirming

bay expanses. A boater’s dream as well, the home comes equipped with a pier and multiple boat lifts.

With its super cul-de-sac location, location, location— and all of the amenities any family could dream of—it’s little wonder the house sold to the first clients that listing agent, Jennifer Chaney of Chaney Homes, showed it to. “This home sold for its original list price on its first day on the market,” Chaney adds. Having the home situated just one hour from D.C. and 25 minutes from all the sites and happenings in Annapolis is an added amenity in anyone’s book.

“When this one came on the market, we immediately fell in love with the beautiful open water views and large lot size of this home,” the new homeowners say. “When we imagined all the memories we would make with our family and friends, we knew this had to be our forever home. It was the perfect fit for our family with two boys and a dog that all love being outdoors!”
