Sited along the beautiful Pokomoke River, the spectacular water views, gorgeous sunsets, and romantic moonlit evenings make this a very special property. You can see the river from nearly every room and the views are amazing from dawn to dusk. When you approach River House (so named by a previous owner), you'll see the lovely main house, with a garage and an old barn/storage building to the left (these buildings back to a beautiful treed area) and 2 beautiful fruit-bearing Pecan trees in the front/side yard. Over the garage is a large finished room that is currently used as a gaming room, complete with an air hockey table that conveys. This room could be used as a private yoga or art studio (with the same amazing views as the home. ) The garage is used more for storage of all of the water "toys" that convey, which include several tubes that can be pulled behind your boat, several kayaks, a couple of bikes, and more. There is also a workbench at the rear of the garage. The barn has been used primarily for storage although it is currently vacant. Only your imagination limits what you could do with this 2-story floored building. But, the house itself is the piece-de-resistance. When you enter the front door, you see all the way through to the river at the back of the house. You enter the formal living room (with gas fireplace) and immediately feel the warmth of this beautiful home. Timelessly remodeled in 2004, the centerpiece of the main level is the enormous kitchen which has all the counterspace and storage necessary for a gourmet cook to create spectacular meals while overlooking the beautiful rivers views. All of the windows and sliding glass doors have been replaced with energy efficient Andersen windows and doors. The kitchen is adjacent to the dining room which faces the river full on. From the dining room, you enter the 3-season Florida/Sunroom - you can open the windows in this room and enjoy the views and the sweet smell of the sea air, perhaps curled up in a chair, reading a good book. One of the 2 bedrooms on the main level also has entre to Sunroom through a sliding glass door. Both of the bedrooms on this level have river views from their windows. The second level of this home is really incredible! The enormous family room is surrounded by large jalousie windows around the entire room, offering panoramic views of the Pokomoke River. In one corner of the family room there is private powder room and in the other corner there is another gas fireplace, offering warmth and coziness during the winter months (this is not just a summer property). There is also a second level deck where you can sit outside with a good bottle of wine or a cool glass of iced tea and enjoy your amazing home and all the amenities it offers. Adjacent to the family room, with another entry to the outdoor deck is the primary bedroom. This room also features a wall of jalousie windows, incredible views and a gorgeous 'fandolier' which looks like a chandelier until the fan blades 'magically' appear to help keep the room cool and the air circulating. The ensuite bathroom features a double sink and large tiled shower. There is a large walk-in closet with enough space to create a private dressing area. There is so much you can do in this private (but not completely remote) enclave - there is a floating dock and private dock off the rear of the house with a 12,500 lb electric boat lift. You can paddle your kayaks up and down the river or take your kids tubing or water skiing up and down the river. You can fish (see the photo of one of the recent guests with the fish he caught) and you can place crab pots as well. Adjacent to the property is a public boat ramp. There just isn’t enough room here to tell you everything about this property, you must come see it. By the way, this is also a great rental property and it can be easily managed and secured with the Vivant SmartHome app. Rental income to date is $55,000!
