Overlooking the serene waters of Blackwalnut Cove with approximately 3’ MLW, the property blends classic cottage character with thoughtful modern enhancements. The original portion of the home reflects its roots as a cozy summer cottage, complete with a charming screened porch perfect for enjoying warm breezes and waterfront views. A connected wing was elevated 10 feet and now features a spacious two-car garage on the main level, offering abundant storage for boats, kayaks, and gear. The rear wing provides exceptional versatility with a private studio apartment—currently a licensed B&B with its own entrance—ideal for guests, rental income, or multigenerational living. Inside the main home, a wood-burning fireplace invites you to curl up on cool days and evenings, while the screened porch becomes the heart of the home during warmer months. With 4 bedrooms and 3 baths, this property offers comfort, flexibility, and the relaxed coastal lifestyle that defines the Eastern Shore. Appointment-only showings.
