Description

This meticulously cared-for Cape Cod home, built in 1967, perfectly blends classic charm with modern updates. Set on a scenic property with breathtaking views of the Nanticoke River, which leads directly to the Chesapeake Bay, the home has been lovingly updated by its second owners. It’s ideal for families, empty nesters, or retirees seeking peace and privacy with easy access to nearby amenities. Enjoy serene river views and the beauty of local wildlife—deer, turtles, beavers, osprey, and eagles—from every window. The expansive outdoor space is just as impressive, featuring an in-ground pool (resurfaced in 2016), a screened gazebo, and a large multi-level composite deck for entertaining. A fenced yard offers privacy, and the private dock provides direct access to the river for fishing and boating. The home also includes a three-car oversized garage added in 2005, with ample storage, electric, lighting, and a dedicated workshop area. Inside, the home is designed for comfort and convenience. The primary suite on the main floor offers one-level living, with flexibility to be used as an office or den. Large windows throughout, especially in the "river room," invite natural light and stunning views. The kitchen features beautiful stone countertops and a stainless steel sink, while both bathrooms are equipped with custom Corian sinks. The downstairs bath also includes custom cherry cabinetry and ADA-height fixtures. Two-zone heat pumps and central air conditioning (installed in 2003) ensure year-round comfort. Upstairs are another two bedrooms and a full bath, all with windows overlooking the river. With plenty of built-in cabinetry and large closets, storage is never a concern. The basement includes shelving and a dedicated workshop. Updates include a new roof in 2015, new siding and septic in 2012, and recent replacements of the water pump, pool cover, and refrigerator in 2020. The beauty of each season is a highlight of this property. Spring brings vibrant dogwoods, rhododendrons, and azaleas, while summer is spent enjoying the pool and deck. Fall transforms the property with colorful foliage, and winter offers a peaceful, snow-covered landscape to enjoy. Though surrounded by nature, this home is just minutes from shopping, dining, and a hospital. Washington D.C., Philadelphia, and Baltimore are all within two hours. Combining luxury, nature, and convenience, this property is truly a special place to call home.
