Charming 1920s Waterfront Farmhouse on Lovers Lane
Nestled on the iconic Lovers Lane in Deltaville, this enchanting 1920s storybook farmhouse offers timeless character with splendid woodwork and rich period details throughout. Set on a full acre of nicely landscaped grounds, the home features 3 spacious bedrooms, 2 baths, and a large, inviting living room with a cozy fireplace. The elegant dining room—complete with a sparkling crystal chandelier—can also serve as a delightful parlor or additional sitting room.
Enjoy serene mornings and breezy afternoons on the sweet front porch, waterside sun room or the large waterside deck overlooking breathtaking views of Jackson Creek leading out to the Chesapeake Bay. A small detached garage adds convenience, while lovely plantings enhance the storybook charm. Modern updates include a brand new heat pump, offering comfort with classic style. Dock on left in pictures belongs to neighbor through an easement over this property. There have been a number of improvements, but this sweet farmhouse is an As Is sale, and is ready for a masterful renovation.
This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Deltaville’s history in an unbeatable waterfront setting.
