The property boasts a dock with a highly coveted boathouse (that can no longer be built), a natural shoreline, and mature landscaping highlighted by 100-year-old boxwoods, flowering magnolias, lush hydrangeas, and a majestic 100-year-old oak tree. This 4, 000+ square foot Spanish-inspired home masterfully balances preserved historic features with modern amenities.

Period details have been thoughtfully retained, including original heart pine floors, Delft tiles, antique tiles salvaged from Easton’s historic roadways, and a charming antique bar complete with copper sink. The home boasts two primary suites, one upstairs, and a secret bedroom hidden off the kitchen on the main level, and two convenient laundry facilities. Upstairs, you’ll find three bedrooms, three full bathrooms including a luxurious spa-like bathroom, two sleeping porches, and a versatile flex space ideal for a home theater, playroom, or den. The septic system is approved to accommodate 5 bedrooms. Completing the property are a detached two-bay garage with John Deere lawnmower, circular driveway, and a powered storage shed—offering functionality as well as timeless Eastern Shore charm.
