CATHY VERNE

Description

Nestled along the shores of the Chesapeake Bay, this charming Cape Cod offers the ultimate waterfront lifestyle with its own private pier and dock, set against panoramic bay views and a rip-rapped shoreline with approximately 5 feet of mean low water. With direct access to the Bay, you can fish, boat, paddleboard, or simply relax and take in breathtaking sunsets and the abundant wildlife that surrounds you, all from your own backyard. Set on a generous 0.70-acre lot, the home welcomes with timeless curb appeal and offers two convenient entrances: a formal main entry and a secondary entrance through the kitchen. A spacious deck stretches across the back of the home, perfectly positioned for outdoor dining or relaxing while overlooking the water, and a fenced portion of the backyard adds function and versatility for pets or play. Inside, the open-concept main living spaces are designed to maximize both flow and views. The living room is wrapped in glass windows and doors on three sides, drawing in natural light and framing stunning waterfront vistas, while hardwood flooring adds warmth and elegance. The dining area sits just off the kitchen and easily accommodates gatherings, whether casual or formal. The kitchen itself is equipped with sleek new stainless steel appliances (2024) and features a wide cut-out opening to the living room, keeping the water view in sight and enhancing connectivity. A laundry room just off the kitchen adds everyday convenience. Also on the main level is the primary bedroom, perfectly positioned to take in serene water views through a large picture window. A second spacious bedroom, a stylishly updated full bath with a double vanity, and a cozy study complete the main floor. Originally a garage, the space has been thoughtfully converted into an in-law or guest suite featuring its own living area, kitchenette with cabinets and refrigerator, full bath with shower, and private entrance. This flexible space is ideal for multi-generational living or long-term guests. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms each offer water views and share a full bath. One of the bedrooms enjoys access to a walk-in storage room, providing plenty of tucked-away space for seasonal items or household extras. The home has been well cared for and extensively updated. Improvements include a new septic system and field (2020), all new vinyl windows, crawlspace encapsulation, and five efficient mini split units that allow for room-by-room comfort. Additional updates include a new well pump, a new well storage bladder with added capacity, a new water heater (2023), and re-planked pier decking completed in 2024. The pier is also wired for power, making it easy to add lighting or support boating equipment. Whether you're watching the sunset with coffee or a glass of wine in hand, entertaining friends with the Bay as your backdrop, or heading out for a day on the water, this beautifully situated property is your gateway to relaxed, year-round waterfront living. And while it enjoys an enviable waterfront location, the home is not located in a flood zone and therefore does not require flood insurance offering added peace of mind along with unmatched views.
