About This Home

As of November 2022

Eastern Shore Victorian home set in Chestertown’s Historic District has been thoughtfully updated and is well cared for. This lovely traditional home spans three levels and greets owners with an elegant entry hall that opens to the living room with fireplace. Just off the kitchen is the family room offering additional living space. Bright with natural light, the kitchen invites entertaining with a spacious dining area opening to a large deck and landscaped fenced-in yard.

Conveniently located on a corner lot, the home offers lovely views of the Washington College campus and is just a walk away from the hospital, library, walking trail, the Chester River waterfront and downtown historic area. Another sought-after amenity includes a separate 2-car garage. The home offers 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths, as well as a separate 3rd floor living area, perfect for guests and family.

Founded in 1706, Chestertown is set on the banks of the Chester River. Brick sidewalks are lined with period homes, shops, a theatre, cafes, galleries, an oyster bar and restaurants. Activities and places to explore include the River Walk, weekly farmers market, Fountain Park, annual festivals and river cruises on the Chester River Packet. Visitors and residents alike are attracted to the area’s natural beauty and its quiet, small town lifestyle combined with the convenience of being about 90-minutes from Washington, D.C. and Philadelphia and about 1-hour from Wilmington.
