As soon as you enter, your eyes are naturally drawn to the water. The spacious living room is lined with large windows that beautifully frame the peaceful river, keeping those calming views front and center. The main level also offers a comfortable dining area perfect for gathering, a welcoming kitchen, first-floor bedroom, full bath, laundry space, and a generous pantry with plenty of storage for everyday living. Out back, you’ll find what just might become your favorite spot in the whole house — the three-season room overlooking the water. Imagine early mornings with a hot cup of coffee as the river comes to life, lazy afternoons with a good book and a breeze drifting through, and evenings with a glass of wine as the sky turns soft shades of gold and pink. Outside, mature trees create a soft, shaded setting that feels private and relaxed, including blooming mimosa and crape myrtles that add color and charm throughout the warmer months.It’s peaceful, private, and simply unmatched. Back inside, the upstairs features another full bath, a flexible space perfect for a walk-in closet or cozy nook, and two attached bedrooms that feel tucked away and restful. Easy access to the walk-in attic makes storing keepsakes and seasonal décor a breeze. Outside, sandy beach frontage invites you to kick off your shoes and enjoy the shoreline, while a fenced portion of the yard adds an extra layer of privacy and peace of mind — perfect for little ones or four-legged friends to roam safely. There’s an outdoor shower for rinsing off after a swim, leased Tesla solar panels for added efficiency, a new roof on the three-season room, and a spacious detached building ready to house your fishing gear, lawn equipment, and all the toys that come with waterfront living. Located just minutes from the Mount Vernon Harbor & Boat Ramp, you’re ideally positioned for days spent fishing, crabbing, and embracing the laid-back lifestyle of Somerset County — with direct boating access to the beautiful Chesapeake Bay right from the Wicomico River, opening the door to endless waterfront adventures. And when you’re ready for a change of scenery, you’re only about an hour’s drive to the beaches of Ocean City, the wild natural beauty of Assateague Island, and the charming coastal town of Chincoteague. Whether you’re looking for a full-time home or a weekend escape, this is the kind of place where memories are made the old-fashioned way — barefoot summers, river breezes, and time spent with the people who matter most. Come settle in and make it yours. *Please note 3rd party websites may reflect incorrect property tax amount - taxes are around $3,207.*
