Situated on 0.61 acres with 169 feet +/- of waterfrontage and deep-water access, this 4-bedroom, 3-bath brick Cape Cod invites you to enjoy the very best of waterfront living.

Whether you enjoy boating, kayaking, fishing, crabbing, or simply relaxing by the water, this property makes it easy to embrace the Eastern Shore lifestyle. Inside, you'll find more than 2,200 square feet of comfortable living space designed to capture the stunning river views. A charming four-season room with brick flooring and panoramic water views is the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee year-round, while the screened porch is ideal for summer crab feasts and outdoor entertaining. At the heart of the home, a wood-burning brick fireplace that creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. The flexible floor plan includes a main-level bedroom and full bath, ideal for guests or one-level living. Upstairs, the primary suite serves as a peaceful retreat, featuring breathtaking river views, abundant natural light, and a private ensuite bath with double vanities and a tiled shower. Two additional generously sized bedrooms and another full bath provide ample space for family and visitors. Recent improvements include a new roof in 2020 and an electric vehicle charger installed in the attached garage in 2025. An irrigation system serves both the front and rear yards, and the property is located outside the flood plain, so flood insurance is not required. Tucked away near the end of a private road, this serene setting feels calm and peaceful while remaining just minutes from Chestertown's shops, restaurants, marina, and popular farmers market. Enjoy daily visits from eagles, ospreys, herons, owls, deer, and other wildlife, all from your own backyard. Whether you're searching for a full-time waterfront residence or the perfect weekend escape, this rare Chester River property offers the beauty, tranquility, and lifestyle that makes Maryland's Eastern Shore so special.
