This charming “Rivah” style 3 bedroom, 2 bath cottage has a Florida room, renovated kitchen and family room. The huge 2 tier deck overlooks Mecham’s Creek, and is perfect for relaxation or entertaining. It boasts stunning views of the water from within the home and on the deck.
The boathouse is a fisherman/boater’s paradise with a 10,000-pound boat lift sufficient for a 27’+ boat. The dock also has a 2nd boat lift, jet ski lift and floating jet ski lift. The circular concrete drive has plenty of parking, plus there is a one car garage. Unlike most homes above the flood zone in the area, there is a gradual slope concrete step/path down to the boathouse. This cottage is an easy boat ride to Merroir, Tides Inn and the Chesapeake Bay.
This is currently a performing Short-Term Rental/Airbnb, the furnishings are included with the purchase, with the exception of a few personal items and art.
This home is sold "As Is, Where Is", and an inspection report is for buyer informational purposes only.
This is an active Airbnb, please do not approach the home. Contact me and I can coordinate a showing between guests.
