A waterfront home on a quiet cul-de-sac with a private dock on Back Creek. ON THE WATER The property sits directly on Back Creek with a private dock at the bottom of the yard. The creek is navigable out to the Chesapeake Bay, and the bridges along the way have clearance for typical powerboats. For anyone who owns a boat, it means keeping it at home rather than paying for a marina slip. The neighboring property keeps a boat on rails, so the setup works on this stretch of water. For anyone who does not, it is a quiet tidal creek at the back of the yard and sunsets over the water.
