Welcome to Silly Manor, a Chesapeake Bay-front property with an abundance of coastal charm and panoramic views. This home is perfectly situated on the coveted Lawton Avenue, one of Kent County's most sought-after neighborhoods. Enjoy stunning sunsets all year-round and direct access to the dynamic waters of the Chesapeake Bay. The open living and dining space offer spectacular views of the Chesapeake. The kitchen opens up to the patio and garden, and has a spacious island for entertaining. The home was designed with a first-floor primary suite, offering convenient (and hard-to-find) one-floor living. There are two additional bedrooms and a full bath on the second floor. Watch the boats glide in and out of Swan Creek all day long, or enjoy the cozy fireplace during the colder months, with the Bay sparkling just outside. This is one of the larger parcels on Lawton, and it boasts a detached, oversized one-car garage, along with a separate workshop. The hardscape patio and stone walkways are perfect for al fresco dining or simply soaking in the surrounding beauty. The home feels very private, yet is located just minutes from many marinas, restaurants, shops and the Rock Hall Beach. This is the perfect weekend retreat or full-time home!
