About This Home

As of April 2023

This unique 1.44 acre waterfront property in Downtown Havre de Grace has RB zoning...so the existing home and land can be used either way...as Residentail or Commercial. In addition, this parcel features approximately 300 feet of waterfront. The possibilities here are many, and developed Commercially, could add considerably to the appeal of this really great town at the top of The Chesapeake Bay. The existing home was built in 1987, and is a state of the art contemporary, befitting that era. It was very well built, and has been well maintained over the years. Great care was taken to make the most of the peaceful panoramic water views, which are one of the hallmarks of this property. There are 2 lots, one facing Congress Ave on one side, and the River across the rear. The other lot fronts on St John St, and sides to Congress. In the event a buyer wants to remove the house and build an Inn, or a waterfront restaurant, the lot fronting to St. John St will provide ample parking, with direct access to St John St. The lots cannot be sold separately. And...if you just want to live there and enjoy the privacy and the views, you can do that too!! This is a totally As-Is sale.
