Honored to present to the market for the first time ever, this one of a kind private riverfront retreat, meticulously planned and built in 1959 by James and Sallie English, legendary owners of English’s Family Restaurant. Waterfront brick home on 1.4 acres with very high elevation. When people talk of nostalgia and the good ole’ days, “English’s Restaurant” is an instant comfort and reminder of good times! Mrs. English had a particular fondness and respect for nature and wanted her home to reflect the harmony of living nestled in the abundance of breathtaking serenity on the high bank of the Wicomico River, overlooking the expansive protected views of the Historic Pemberton Park.

Inviting foyer, great room with soaring ceilings, wood beams, panoramic views of river on one side and floor to ceiling views of the forest on the other side, wood fireplace with stone hearth perfect for cozying up in the winter months, open dining area, plant shelves, and the perfect chandelier for the era. Kitchen was designed for a large family, with many commercial upgrades used in the restaurant construction also underway when the home was being built. Solid wood cabinets, built in stainless gadgets like paper towel holders, foil and plastic wrap dispensers, bread storage, pull out cutting boards, you name it! Eat in area in the kitchen provides the perfect breakfast space and access to the oversized deck. Experience incredible water views, so high you barely see land!
