Welcome to easy living on the shores of the Wicomico River, where peaceful waterfront living meets the natural beauty of Maryland's Eastern Shore. Whether you're searching for a full-time residence, a weekend retreat, or the perfect vacation home, this property offers the ideal setting to slow down, reconnect, and enjoy everything the Chesapeake Bay lifestyle has to offer. As soon as you enter the home, your eyes are naturally drawn to the water. The spacious living room is lined with large windows that beautifully frame the peaceful river, keeping those calming views front and center. The main level also features a welcoming dining area for gathering with family and friends, a comfortable kitchen, first-floor bedroom, full bath, laundry space, and a generous storage & pantry area. Just beyond the living space is what may become your favorite room in the house—the three-season room overlooking the river. Picture mornings with a cup of coffee as the water quietly comes to life and evenings watching breathtaking sunsets paint the sky in shades of gold, pink, and orange. Outside, mature trees—including blooming mimosa and crape myrtles—create a peaceful, shaded setting that feels wonderfully private. Sandy beach frontage invites you to launch a kayak, cool off with a swim, or simply relax along the shoreline, while the fenced portion of the yard offers a secure space for children or four-legged family members to play. An outdoor shower makes rinsing off after a day on the water effortless. Upstairs, you'll find a second full bath, a flexible space perfect for a walk-in closet, office, or cozy sitting area, along with two attached bedrooms that provide a quiet place to unwind. Easy walk-in attic access offers convenient storage for seasonal décor and treasured keepsakes. Additional features include a new roof on the three-season room, and a spacious detached outbuilding perfect for storing fishing gear, lawn equipment, kayaks, paddleboards, and everything that comes with waterfront living. There's also an outdoor shower for rinsing off after a swim! Located just minutes from the Mount Vernon Harbor & Boat Ramp, you'll have easy access to fishing, crabbing, boating, and endless days exploring the Wicomico River, which flows directly into the Chesapeake Bay. When you're ready to venture beyond the river, you're only about an hour from the beaches of Ocean City, the untouched beauty of Assateague Island, and the charming coastal town of Chincoteague. If you've been dreaming of a place where life feels quieter, the views never get old, and weekends are spent on the water instead of in traffic, this is the escape you've been waiting for. Come experience the relaxed pace, stunning scenery, and unforgettable waterfront lifestyle that make Maryland's Eastern Shore such a special place to call home.
