Waterfront living awaits in the amenity-rich Captain's Cove Golf & Yacht Club! This charming elevated coastal cottage is perfectly situated on a bulkheaded canal-front lot with beautiful water views and direct access for boating, kayaking, paddleboarding, and fishing — offering the ultimate Eastern Shore lifestyle. Inside, the bright and airy open floorplan features luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout and inviting coastal character. The spacious kitchen and dining area flow seamlessly into the expansive family room with soaring cathedral ceilings, abundant natural light, and a cozy propane corner fireplace. Added in 2019, the oversized family room and screened porch significantly expanded the living space while maximizing the home's connection to the waterfront setting. French doors lead to the screened porch overlooking the canal — the perfect spot to enjoy morning coffee, evening sunsets, and refreshing coastal breezes. Outdoor living shines with multiple spaces designed for relaxing and entertaining. Beneath the screened porch, a large covered patio creates an ideal shaded retreat for gatherings, grilling, or unwinding after a day on the water. The level grassy backyard extends to the bulkheaded canal frontage, providing easy access to the water and plenty of room for outdoor enjoyment. The ground level includes a spacious two-car garage plus a finished studio/workspace ideal for a home office, hobby room, workshop, fitness space, or additional storage. The main level offers a flexible bedroom perfect for guests, an office, or den, along with a full bath and oversized laundry room. Upstairs, two generously sized bedrooms feature walk-in closets and share a convenient half bath, creating comfortable accommodations for family and visitors alike. Partially furnished and move-in ready, this property offers an easy transition to waterfront living. The boat is also negotiable, creating a rare turnkey opportunity to immediately begin enjoying life on the water. Captain's Cove residents enjoy an impressive array of resort-style amenities including a golf course, marina, boat ramp, indoor and outdoor pools, fitness center, restaurant, tennis courts, pickleball, playgrounds, walking trails, and more.
