A long, tree-lined driveway winds past partially fenced pasture and a collection of impressive outbuildings before being greeted by the historic main residence, where timeless charm and modern comforts await. Every room along the back of the home captures serene water views, creating a peaceful rhythm that flows from space to space. The foyer welcomes with original butterfly plank flooring, built-in bookcase, wainscoting, and a powder room. A door just beyond opens to the sweeping back patio that runs the majority of the length of the house, with its proud columns reaching high, perfectly positioned for watching boats drift by or eagles soar above the river. To the right, the generous living room features a fireplace with classic brick detailing and windows framing the glimmering water. To the left of the foyer, the formal dining room exudes grace, anchored by another distinguished fireplace and that same breathtaking view. Continue on to the kitchen, where a four-panel sliding glass door makes for a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living. A third fireplace warms the casual dining area, while views of the water make even the simplest moments feel special. Just off the kitchen, the light-filled mud room offers walls of windows, built-ins, and a side entrance ideal for daily routines. Two staircases, one near the foyer and the other off the kitchen, lead to the home’s upper levels. On the first upper level, the primary suite features an en-suite bath with a window perfectly placed to take in views of the pier and sparkling river. Two additional bedrooms each enjoy attached full baths, one of them enhanced by its own fireplace. The second upper level adds two more bedrooms with water views and a shared full bath in between. Beyond the main residence, a charming cape cod guest house extends the property’s appeal. The main level features a bedroom, full bath, living room with fireplace, kitchen, dining area, and a sunroom overlooking the water. The upper level remains unfinished, offering space to customize or expand. The front porch runs the length of the guest house, and the back deck provides yet another outdoor entertainment space, perfect for taking in serene views of the Choptank. The estate’s outdoor amenities are equally impressive. A 30’x60’ barn with soaring ceiling offers event potential, perfect for wedding receptions or festive gatherings. It is also an ideal space to house RVs, UTVs, small boats and other high value recreational vehicles and equipment. A second barn with lean-to, six stall stable with two tack rooms, detached garage, and open pasture provide excellent potential for horse lovers or hobby farmers. Recreation abounds with an in-ground pool and pool house, a half-court basketball area, and over 230 feet of pier and dock reaching into the Choptank, ideal for fishing, boating, or nature watching. Wildlife is abundant, bald eagles are often seen perching at the end of the pier, ospreys soar high above as the king of the skies and herons and deer, along with a variety of waterfowl make regular appearances, adding even more magic to each moment spent outdoors. As the day winds down, take in dramatic sunsets over the water, best enjoyed from the back patio, the pier, or anywhere the view opens wide to the horizon. Riprap and bulkheading protect the shoreline. This estate is just minutes from Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge, the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad State Park, and the Horn Point Laboratory. Enjoy downtown Cambridge with its historic Main Street, vibrant cultural scene, local eateries, and year-round community events like art walks and seasonal festivals. With a rare blend of history, nature, and opportunity, this waterfront haven is poised to become your most extraordinary legacy.
