About This Home

As of July 2025

This is a stunning property! It combines elegance and functionality with its spacious layout, beautiful finishes, and thoughtful details. The open floor plan, combined with the cozy living room, pocket doors, and built-ins, creates a welcoming atmosphere. The kitchen, with its quartz countertops and wood floors, is a great space for cooking and entertaining. The main-level split bedroom floor plan offers great privacy, especially with the large owner’s suite and the nearby laundry room. The screened porch with its cathedral wood ceiling and skylights is a fantastic spot to relax and enjoy the private backyard.

The upstairs family area is a perfect place to unwind, with the wood flooring and built-ins adding warmth and character. The two additional bedrooms are also generously sized, and the shared bathroom with double sinks and a walk-in shower is a great touch. Plenty of storage with the walk-in attic.

Plus, the oversized two-car garage with room for a small workshop is a bonus for hobbyists or those needing extra storage space.

Being just a mile from Historic Downtown Chestertown and close to the Chester River Yacht and Country Club adds so much appeal to this home. It really is a one-of-a-kind find.
