About This Home

As of July 2022

A Reimagined Colonial on the banks of the Nation’s Summer Capital.
Inside, a grand two-story foyer and curved stair is sided by living and dining formals and unfolds to the central living area. From its privileged position on the main level, an open plan design with gracious pass throughs and floor to ceiling sliders bathe the main level living spaces in natural light and river breezes with an invitation to meander outside for more glorious panoramic water and nature vista views from the expansive patio featuring an inground pool. This stunning open floor plan flows seamlessly into the gourmet kitchen featuring a 15’, Cerused Oak custom finish island equipped with wine fridge, breakfast bar, all highlighted by Visual Comfort pendant lighting. Hand-scraped hickory floors are contrasted by the crisp white custom Adelphi inset cabinetry with Katonah grills and gold hardware, that both conceal and accentuate the built-in GE Monogram refrigerator, freezer, and dual dishwashers. Subline surfaces and exquisite finishes of Quartz Cambria Brittanica gold countertops, Moroccan backsplash tiles, gold pot-filler, Rohl bridge faucet, Kohler farm sink, not only perfectly accessorize the kitchen but also become the perfect backdrop for the Ilve Majestic 48” freestanding double oven, six-burner with griddle range, crowned by a custom range hood. Extended living and entertaining spaces on the main level radiate from the kitchen, the adjacent family room is anchored by a two-sided, raised hearth, stone front, gas fireplace shared by the living room on the other side, flanked by the sunroom, all hosting fabulous water views. Having direct access off the kitchen, the formal dining room is adorned with glass front built-ins and wrapped in precise, millwork wainscotting at the ready for grand scale dinner parties. Retreat, rejuvenate, and rest in the luxurious main level primary bedroom suite complete with a wall of closets and ensuite offering dual sink vanities, spacious glass stall shower with bench seating, in finishes of Calcutta gold and Carrara marble, and custom quarter sawn oak vanity and linen closet. An office space, powder bath, tucked away laundry area, and interior access to the oversized, rear load, two car garage completes the lower level.
The winding stair from the foyer ascends to the upper level where you find the second family room, a cozy place to gather and enjoy time away from the world below, with access to its own balcony space ideal for enjoying a glorious sunset. The second owners’ suite is located on this level appointed with an ensuite and provides private access to the expansive balcony, the ultimate setting to relish and appreciate the views this home bestows from its prestigious location. There are two additional bedrooms, one with private balcony access, and a substantial hall bath that completes this level.
Outside, the expansive terrace offers an inground pool, gas fire pit area, dining, and sunning areas, framed by an elegant forecourt wall, and rear yard with ample lush green grass for furry friends to play safely within the decorative, black steel fencing, all surrounded by water views and the spectacle of nature as it unfolds just for you. From the bulkhead, kayak or SUP and spend the day on the water exploring the creek and bay, then make your way back home to Rest, Eat and Repeat! Bring your dreams and come home to a very special lifestyle in a very special place on the Delmarva Peninsula where everyone of every age will enjoy bountiful adventures!
Recent updates include, 2019-Zoned HVAC, Crawl Space Encapsulation & Attic Insulation. 2020-New Gutters, Guards, and Downspouts. 2021-New Roof. Main Level Renovation, Flooring, Kitchen, Family Room, Primary Bedroom and Ensuite, Laundry area, and Paint throughout
