Some houses are finished. This one is full of opportunity. Built circa 1920, this Victorian sits in one of Downtown Chestertown's most desirable neighborhoods — and it's waiting for someone who can see what it is meant to become. The hard work and the expensive work have already been done: new cedar siding, blown-in insulation, and original hardwood floors throughout. What remains is the fun part. The kitchen and baths are a genuine blank slate, ready for your design, your finishes, your vision. And the bones… remarkable. Solid construction, generous proportions, and historic detail at every turn — the kind of craftsmanship that simply isn't built anymore, and can't be bought back once it's gone. Start with a house of real character and your renovation adds value instead of merely keeping up. Upstairs, five generous bedroom and two full baths. A rare third-floor primary suite offers space and privacy set apart from the rest of the home — a true owner's retreat, a guest wing, or a quiet work-from-home floor of its own. Outside, a fully fenced backyard is ready for pets, play, and entertaining, a large shed could easily become a garage, studio, or workshop. The driveway provides off-street parking, a definite bonus for Chestertown. And the location is the whole point. You're roughly three blocks from everything Chestertown offers — the shops, restaurants and galleries along High Street, the Chester River waterfront, the farmers market, and the historic charm of one of the Eastern Shore's best-loved small towns. Bring your contractor, or be your own. Come see the possibility.
