Welcome to your own slice of Eastern Shore heaven… where waterfront views, thoughtful upgrades, and laid-back small town living come together effortlessly. Perched to capture views of Jenkins Creek and the Choptank River from nearly every room, this home is all about connection to the water, the outdoors, and the slower pace that makes Cambridge and Alqonquin Manor so special.  Inside, you’ll find a home that has been carefully refreshed and enhanced for both comfort and style. Major updates in 2020 introduced high end Flooret LVP flooring, a new roof, fresh paint, a half bath and laundry room, a tankless propane hot water heater, and propane service, creating a solid foundation for easy living. In 2022, the property evolved even further with the addition of a stunning 500 sq ft sunroom… affectionately known as the ultimate crab-picking, football-watching, memory-making space. From the 6 sliding glass doors to allow for amazing breezes, the cathedral tongue and groove wood ceiling, to the commercial grade LVT with enhanced thermal and moisture underlayment- It’s the kind of room that quickly becomes everyone’s favorite. Enjoy the front porch from your rocking chair, watching the magnificent sunsets, feeling the best breezes in the area keep you cool on a summer day or cozy up in the courtyardwhile cooking s'mores over the firepit, and watching the stars. Marvel at the magnificent American Redwood that was protected using a variance prior to the renovations. The exterior improvements are just as impressive, with a welcoming front porch, a breezeway to protect you from the weather between the house and the garage and allow for a shady sitting area overlooking the courtyard, custom brick walkways, and an oversized detached two-car garage that is already wired for a future EV charging station. Practical upgrades like a newer heat pump and climate-controlled attic storage with a walk in cedar closet ensure the home lives as well as it looks. Whether you’re hosting a weekend gathering or enjoying a quiet morning coffee with water views, every space has been designed to make the most of its setting. And for added flexibility, the home can be offered partially furnished or unfurnished to suit your vision. Owners enjoyed living here as well as successfully offering vacation rentals. Enjoy city services for water and sewer and no city taxes! Location-wise, it’s the best of both worlds. You’re tucked into a peaceful waterfront setting of a charming older neighborhood, while less than two miles from historic downtown Cambridge, where you can explore charming shops, local restaurants, art galleries, and waterfront parks along the Choptank and Town Creek. Spend your days gardening, riding bikes, walking, boating, fishing, or crabbing nearby, or venture out to the renowned Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge for some of the best wildlife viewing on the East Coast. The HOA is optional - for a nominal $40 a year, you get access to two common areas by the water and use of the community pier. Dockage on land, in the water, and boat/kayak storage are extra fees. Whether you live here full time or use it for weekend getaways and vacations or even for supplement income with short-term or midterm rentals, this home is one that allows a lifestyle where sunsets are part of your daily routine, every day feels like a vacation and tranquility is not an option.
