About This Home

Charming 2-3BR/2BA coastal cottage with tranquil water views of Black Walnut Cove and the Choptank River - ideal for easy full-time living or a relaxed weekend retreat. Beautiful hardwood floors run throughout, complementing the home’s warm, welcoming character and comfortable scale. The living room, anchored by a wood-burning fireplace, offers a cozy gathering space, while the kitchen is thoughtfully designed with a large center island, wet bar, and French door access to a beautiful screened porch overlooking the cove - perfect for morning coffee, quiet afternoons, or casual evening entertaining. The primary suite is a peaceful retreat, featuring an ensuite bath, walk-in closet, and convenient laundry cubby. An adjoining second bedroom offers flexibility as a private office, sitting room, or additional sleeping space. A third bedroom and full hall bath provide comfortable accommodation for guests. Additional highlights include a garden shed and a fully conditioned “she shed” with heat and AC, currently used as an art studio – a versatile space for hobbies or creative pursuits. Numerous improvements include a new roof, Pella architectural windows, encapsulated crawlspace, 3-zone Mitsubishi mini-split system, reverse-osmosis water filtration, and more. This thoughtfully updated cottage offers the best of Eastern Shore living with a relaxed, waterside feel.
