About This Home
Seize your opportunity to enjoy coastal living along the tranquil waters of Herring Creek, in West Ocean City, MD. Beautifully situated on 0.7 acres with more than 445 feet of water frontage, your own private boat ramp for watersports, kayaking or paddleboarding, a dock for fishing and crabbing, and one of Maryland’s few remaining original Boathouses, 12217 Ocean Gateway offers a harmonious blend of coastal serenity and everyday convenience! This iconic farmhouse is rich in history and exudes warmth and character at every turn. The newly renovated heart of the home showcases a farmhouse kitchen filled with natural elegance including a wood-burning fireplace, gathering island, over-sized dining space and panoramic water views where you can enjoy your mornings on the inviting screened veranda. With elevated finishes, gorgeous tilework, natural tone flooring, newly installed cabinets and countertops, and brand new appliances (2025) this space will be perfect for entertaining. Water views from every room make it difficult to choose where to take in the scenery. With the main level canvased in new, modern honey-toned flooring- stepping in the charming entryway you may choose to relax in the sun-drenched sitting room or continue straight where you are drawn to the window-lined main living space including a cozy fireplace- take in all that Herring Creek has to offer with a front row seat to the captivating marine life including turtles, heron, bald eagles and even otters. Continue into a quaint conversation nook perfect for reading then into the optional mudroom with adjacent laundry space with access to the sprawling backyard with endless possibilities. Your new home features a first floor en-suite with updated bath and sparkling water views, a second story owner’s retreat complete with a walk-out balcony overlooking the creek, cathedral ceilings, a cozy sitting space, walk-in closets and of course a freshly renovated spa bath with stylish finishes and soaking tub. The second floor also features a second elegantly updated full bath as well as three additional designated bedrooms or optional flex spaces with brand new carpeting. While this home lives like a five bedroom the on-site septic system is permitted for 3 bedrooms.
As if the main residence is not enough, you will find an adjacent versatile 1,500-square-foot office building with its own bathroom and ample storage and an HVAC replaced in 2021. With many possibilities this unique commercial zoned space may be permitted as an office, gym, studio or workshop with plenty of parking to meet the needs of your entrepreneurial endeavors! If business is not for you this office unit can be leased with proper zoning permits. All options for use of the commercial space, including permits, are to be confirmed with the county by the buyer.
Located just minutes from the vibrant Ocean City Boardwalk, known for its historic charm and lively attractions, and the pristine beaches of Assateague Island, this property offers the perfect balance of peaceful retreat and coastal adventure. Whether you're seeking a personal residence or a unique business or investment opportunity (as this home is outside the city limits encumbered by vacation rental restrictions), 12217 Ocean Gateway stands as a rare gem in the heart of Maryland's Eastern Shore- call it HOME today!
