Discover the Art of Waterfront Living in the Dutchman’s Cove neighborhood. Tucked away near the historic heart of St. Mary’s City, this contemporary residence offers a rare blend of architectural character and nature's quiet. Set on a lot enveloped by lush flora, the property boasts 325+ feet of shoreline on Lucas Cove, providing a sweeping view across to the Rosecroft Road peninsula and is a sanctuary for sailboats during storms. Inside, the home features a vaulted ceiling in the living room, original hardwood floors that catch the natural light, and a stone wall with a wood burning stove for those chilly nights. The main-level primary suite offers effortless convenience on the main floor, while the formal dining room—complete with a wet bar and secondary pantry—is tailor-made for hosting. Waterfront enthusiasts will marvel at the private pier, featuring a 10,000 lb. motorized boat lift, hand-crank lift for smaller watercraft, water, and electricity. The home's upgrades are 1) a new well water pump (lowered 50 ft) in 2023; 2) HVAC/Heat Pump replaced (2022); 3) a main floor primary bathroom (2018); and, 4) Full-house window and storm door replacement (2015). The special feature of this property beyond the waterfront amenities , whether you are an artist or a hobbyist, is a dedicated ceramic/art studio with water, electricity, and kiln space. Whether you're watching the beautiful sunsets from the wraparound deck or cozying up by one of the two wood-burning wood stoves, this is more than a home; it’s a haven.
