About This Home
Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Western Shores, this charming Cape Cod feels like a place where time slows down and the Bay takes center stage. Mature gardens frame the home with color and texture, creating a setting that feels both peaceful and a little magical, as if each season brings its own story to life. Step inside and you’re welcomed by warm wood floors that run throughout the home, grounding each space in comfort and character. The kitchen invites connection, with a center island that naturally becomes the gathering spot for morning coffee, late-night conversations, and everything in between. A main level bedroom and full bath add flexibility, perfect for guests, extended family, or easy one-level living when you want it. But the real showstopper waits just beyond the doors. A large deck stretches out toward the Chesapeake Bay, offering sweeping water views that shift with the light from sunrise to sunset. Down at the shoreline, riprap lines the beach, blending function with the natural beauty of the setting and giving you a front-row seat to life on the Bay. And then there’s the studio. Tucked just beyond the main home, the workshop-style shed is something special. With electricity and windows that frame the water, it has already lived a creative life as a writing and art studio. You can feel it the moment you step inside. It’s the kind of space that sparks ideas, whether you’re painting, working, or just taking in the view. Located in Western Shores, where short-term rentals are allowed, this home offers flexibility for both personal enjoyment and investment potential. Whether you’re looking for a full-time escape, a weekend retreat, or a property that can work for you when you’re not there, this one gives you options. It’s not just a waterfront home. It’s a place to breathe, create, and reconnect, all with the Chesapeake Bay as your backdrop.
