Welcome to 1312 Taylor Island Road, a delightful private waterfront setting nestled on almost 10 acres! This lovely Cape-Cod not only has gorgeous expansive views of Madison Bay but awe-inspiring westerly sunsets that will melt your heart and make it difficult to leave this piece of heaven on earth. Whether it’s morning coffee, playing games, eating crabs or just a quite place to read a book, the generous waterside screened porch is the perfect space to watch the roaming deer, the majestic blue herons, the mighty bald eagles and the adorable rabbits and foxes……so much waterfowl & wildlife to see. This relaxing property should be called “Comfortable Cove”. The home is bright and airy with lots of windows! The inviting first floor has a large open Great Room, which is ideal for gatherings, entertaining and it's complimented by a toasty gas fireplace, plus spectacular bay views. There is also a study/office that has been consistently used as a 4th bedroom, a good size dining room for family dinners, a kitchen with breathtaking views while preparing meals, laundry room with utility sink, a half bath and lots of closets for ample storage. As you make your way to the second floor you will be pleasantly surprised by the stairway and its openness. The primary bedroom is very comfy with a huge over sized skylight dormer with stunning views of the bay. It also has a large walk-in closet and private bathroom. The two additional bedrooms have a Jack and Jill bathroom (shared) and there is an additional mini room that would be ideal for an office or kids’ playroom. As we meander back downstairs, I need to mention the lovely front porch is rocking chair or park bench worthy. Also, the entire huge front yard has been fenced-in for your furry four-legged friends/dogs. Additionally, the home has recently been improved with a new roof, HVAC units, fencing, freshly painted, Eco Pro in crawl space, skylight dormer, porch screening and more. There is high speed internet Xfinity if you are desiring a home office/2nd home getaway. This home is close to the beautiful Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge, the Harriett Tubman Museum and just minutes away from downtown Cambridge shops, restaurants, the Choptank River Lighthouse and more…. This is truly The Land of Pleasant Living…. The Eastern Shore! Please click on the interactive floor plan link & virtual tour link app (It looks like a movie camera on the top of this listing).
