Located on Main Ridge Road, this beautifully maintained home blends timeless coastal charm with thoughtful updates, exceptional outdoor living, and the kind of character that's hard to find. From the moment you arrive, you'll appreciate the cedar impression siding, gorgeous landscaping, brick walkways, colorful martin houses, and the peaceful fish pond that welcomes guests at the entrance. A charming Little Free Library reflects the close-knit spirit of the community, while raised garden beds, established fruit trees, and a chicken coop create your own backyard homestead. Inside, the home is warm, inviting, and designed for gathering. Shiplap accent walls add coastal character throughout, while abundant natural light and water views remind you that you're surrounded by the beauty of the Chesapeake Bay.
