HOME REAL ESTATE

Real Royal Oak Deal

By Lisa J. Gotto

Located on more than 11 majestic acres with extensive waterfront views, this stately all-brick manor-style home offers many features desirable to the discerning homeowner. This property is a renovator’s dream with plenty of opportunities to work with its good bones to create a home that will have the new homeowners’ stamp on it.

Its formal great room is spacious, with a grand fireplace, rich, honey-colored hardwood floors, corner built-ins, and plenty of large windows for Edge Creek viewing. On the same level, an open-plan family room boasts a generous all-brick fireplace framed with windows overlooking the spacious wrap-around deck—and features a large dining area and kitchen. Again, you’ll find outstanding property views throughout, especially from the four-paneled French doors that create open flow to the deck.

The home also features seven unique bedrooms, all with its own bathroom. On the lower level there is a large three-season room and another enclosed space perfect for family outdoor dining and entertaining.

Speaking of the outdoors, there’s an Olympic-size in-ground swimming pool, a 2,400 square-foot guest cottage, tennis court, boat house, two long docks, multiple boat slips, and deep water access.

Listing Agent, Cornelia Heckenbach of Long & Foster Real Estate, says her clients once used the home as a base for guests to come and stay while hunting but are now looking to downsize. The new owners, she says, purchased the additional acreage that accommodates a huge boathouse.

“The house itself is very solid, but is in need of some TLC,” Heckenbach says.

Treasure of the Bay

By Lisa J. Gotto

Nestled in the harbor of the St. Michaels historic district, this seven-bedroom, eight-bath property has much to offer the entrepreneurial homeowner. The 3,400-square-foot home, also known as Kepner House, dates back to1860. The classic style Colonial provides a glimpse into a bygone era with exterior period elements such as a second story covered balcony with gingerbread details and a large nostalgic front porch perfect for rocking chairs and iced tea.

Original List Price:

$1,395,000 Bedrooms: 7 Baths: 7 full, 1 half Living Space: 3,392 sq. ft. Lot Size: 0.22 acres

Inside the main living area, there’s a spacious sunny eat-in kitchen with a large, all-white central island and gourmet gas range capable of cooking breakfast for a small army. A colonial-style hearth and warm hardwood floors make the room a cheerful and inviting gathering spot. The main level also boasts a formal dining room with attractive molding, well-preserved hardwood floors, and an impressive central fireplace with a federal style surround and a white-washed brick chimney.

Upstairs there are seven generous bedrooms, each with its own private bath. Details in these rooms include a free-standing copper soaking tub, custom windows and treatments, and gorgeous hardwood floors. The second-floor also features an additional lounge area with a large, half-moon window and another distinctive Federal-style fireplace.

The front of the home offers a classic mariner’s view of the harbor where you’ll find two boat slips and five feet of mean low water. Ideally located for a true St. Michaels experience, the property is a close walk to the town’s stellar restaurants, art galleries, boutiques, and gift shops.

“Chesapeake Bay Properties was lucky enough to work both sides of the transaction on this sale,” says Mary Cay Harris of Chesapeake Bay Properties of the sale which included all the home’s furnishings, art, and a library of more than 500 books.
