Restoration is being completed on this historic cottage in one of the best locations on Tilghman Island. This quiet street boasts lovely, well maintained homes, water views and is very walkable. There is a small marina very nearby. The home was built in 1912 and retains much original charm. However, the roof, windows, doors, kitchen, bathroom and all systems are new or almost new. It's a winning combination at a terrific price. The island is a very special location which retains the atmosphere of a historic country seafood town. While it has conveniences, good restaurants and more, it is not overly commercialized. Saint Michaels and Easton are just a short drive. The home has a nice yard with ample parking. There is a water view from the 2nd floor. It will require low maintenance making it perfect for a full time residence or part time living. Check out the tax map on the listing. The location is great. Also, please note the back yard is spacious. It ends about ten feet from the neighbors front door.
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.
