About This Home

As of June 2021

Very rare opportunity to purchase this magnificent 3-bedroom, 2.5 bath custom built home situated on 3.0 acres of waterfront property on the weather protected Hurst Creek. Please refer to the listing documents regarding a soon to be completed dredging project at the entrance of Hurst Creek from the Choptank River. From your private dock with 3-foot Mean Low Water (MLW), two boat slips, and electric service, one can be in the majestic Choptank River in 5 minutes enjoying crabbing, fishing, and other water sports. Likewise, one can launch a kayak from the pier and in ten minutes arrive at a pristine sandy Beach on the Choptank. Come enjoy watching bald eagles, ospreys, deer, songbirds, waterfowl and other wildlife from the home’s multi-level decks and patios with hot tub and fenced in backyard. The backyard has been professionally landscaped with extensive hardscape and offers a Koi pond with waterfall. Due to the lot having very high sloping banks, the current owner is not required to have flood insurance. Built in 1989 by the current owner, the 3,182 sq.ft. home was custom built with true Williamsburg Flair with extensive crown, dental, and chair moldings. With nine-foot ceilings on the first floor, the home offers an open floorplan with the Kitchen flowing to a dining area and then into the spacious family room with a brick wood burning fireplace containing a large firebox and mantle. The kitchen has custom cabinets, recently upgraded granite countertops, and an island with a stainless steel sink. The floors are Soft Pine wood with random planking and are absolutely gorgeous. With open views of the creek, the 12 x 18 tiled sunroom contains its own heat/air spilt system and will surely be one of your favorite rooms. Upstairs you will find the primary bedroom/bath suite with tiled shower, walk-in closet, and beautiful waterfront views. In addition to two additional bedrooms (one with waterfront views) and a full bath, there is a 14’x27’ bonus room (new carpet) that could be used for a private office, a fourth bedroom or a home entertainment/theatre room. This room can be entered by an additional spiral staircase. Additional storage is provided by a floored attic, the large 2-car attached garage, partially finished crawl, and a shed. The property is also improved by a high-tech security system with cameras. With a long-paved driveway, the property is very private yet only 5 minutes from shopping, restaurants, historic downtown Cambridge, and the stunning Chesapeake Bay Hyatt Resort. First class, waterfront estates like this rarely come on the market so come quick; this opportunity will not last long!!!
