The Grace Ames House, a beautifully restored 1927 kit home, sits on its own peninsula with water on 3 sides. Just a short distance to the heart of Onancock. Rebuilt in 2019 by Mickey Parks, it blends timeless craftsmanship with modern luxury. Enjoy outdoor living from the second story balcony, expansive back deck or welcoming front porch each with a different but equally beautiful view to enjoy. Interior features include rift-sawn white oak floors, custom cabinetry, soapstone counters, Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, and fully tiled baths with zero-threshold showers. A matching studio offers flexible space for guests or work. Immaculate, elegant, and move-in ready in one of the Eastern Shore's most charming waterfront towns.
