Lock the door, grab your coffee, and walk. Directly across from the Chestertown Marina in the heart of the Historic District, 204 S Water Street is the pied-à-terre the Eastern Shore was made for. Thoughtfully restored, the home pairs period character with an open, easy-living floor plan and a full bath on the main level. Out back, the rear porch and low-maintenance yard are made for slow mornings and long summer evenings. Step out the front door to the Chester River, Wilmer Park, and the marina. Stroll a few blocks of brick sidewalks to galleries, cafés, the oyster bar, live theatre, and the Saturday Farmers Market. Tall ships at Downrigging, jazz in the park, sunsets on the river: it's all right here. About 90 minutes from DC and Philadelphia, it's close enough for every weekend and charming enough to stay for good.
