Welcome to Idylwood, a stunning waterfront estate in Easton, MD, ideally located between historic Easton and St. Michaels with quick boat access to Oxford. Known as the "New Hamptons of the Chesapeake Bay" by Forbes, Easton is just 1.5 hours from D. C. and Baltimore, and 2 hours from Philadelphia, making Idylwood an accessible luxury retreat. Recently remodeled and updated, the home features modern conveniences and enhanced energy efficiency, blending timeless design with contemporary comfort. The all-brick construction features 10' ceilings, antique pine floors, and top of the line Eagle/Anderson windows and doors. The interiors are spacious and elegant, featuring three wood-burning fireplaces that add a cozy ambiance. The home is incredibly quiet and well-insulated, providing a peaceful and energy-efficient living environment. The first-floor primary suite opens to a bluestone waterside porch with breathtaking sunset views. The second floor includes a game room and four bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, while the third floor offers a thoughtfully designed guest suite for visitors or extended family stays that can be zoned off when not in use. A private gated entrance ensures security and privacy, with the estate’s layout offering the feel and privacy of a larger property but with minimal maintenance. The charming guest cottage complements the main home, featuring a garage, brick-floored kitchen/family room, wood-burning fireplace, and private bedroom/bathroom. Outdoor amenities include a waterside pool and pool house, a fire-pit, a sandy beach shoreline for kayaking and fishing, a 158' x 6' dock with deep-water slips, boat and jet ski lifts, and 6' MLW depth—perfect for yachts or sailboats. Modern features elevate comfort and convenience, including fiber high-speed internet, whole-house and yard mesh Wi-Fi, a Sonos music system, a security system, Invisible Fence, and a multi-zone HVAC system (installed 2024).

"Casual Elegance" best describes this classic Talbot County waterfront estate. Conveniently located within 10 minutes of either St. Michaels, Royal Oak or Easton by car, or hop in your boat and take a short, scenic cruise to Oxford, just 3.5 miles downstream from the private, deep water dock (158' x 6' dock w/ boat lift and multiple slips will accommodate yachts with up to a 6' draft). The high quality brick house is well-designed, with bright, spacious rooms, 10' ceilings, wide antique pine floors (beautiful floors!), 3 fireplaces. .. this is a great house for large family gatherings. All of the downstairs rooms, including the primary suite, provide access to the wonderful 72' long by 12' wide blue stone-floored waterside porch. The primary downstairs suite includes a private study w/ fireplace, huge walk-in closet and a luxurious bathroom, which was just tastefully remodeled this year! Relaxing on the porch in the evening, the sunset views across Plaindealing Creek are exceptional! The second floor features a spacious family room, 4 guest bedrooms and 4 full baths. The third floor features a full bath and a big play room for children (or, you might want to consider the third floor to be a large, climate-controlled, finished attic). Separate 1-bedroom guest cottage w/ brick floored kitchen/family room with wood burning fireplace. Waterside pool & pool house. Beautiful lawn for outdoor sports and more (there have been 2 large family weddings on this classic, "Eastern Shore Estate")! Attention boaters: This location, with a private, deep-water dock and boat lift on Plaindealing Creek (a scenic Tred Avon River tributary) is ideal for boating, fishing and crabbing. Its a great location for kayaking, sailing or power boating. .. boats of all sizes up to 60+ ft. in length. Oxford is just a short, scenic cruise away by boat and the open waters of the Choptank River are just 4 miles downstream. Keep sailing SW and before you know it, you will be out on the Chesapeake Bay! From there, sail north to Tilghman Island, St. Michaels or Annapolis or head south toward the Atlantic Ocean!
