Ranch/Rambler

This delightful 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom brick house was significantly renovated in 2011, including the addition of a large second story area, ready to integrate as finished space. Located at the head of Hunting Creek just off the Miles River, this home offers stunning sunrise and sunset views across the broad waters of the Miles River and Hunting Creek. The view is private with a natural island across the river abounding with wildlife, nesting Bald Eagles, Blue Heron and Osprey. A birder’s heaven with migrating waterfowl showing up in every season – 5,000 Canvassbacks spent 2 weeks by the dock this February along with swans and a flock of Bufflehead. The 2.68 acre site features mature specimen trees. Oak, Magnolia, Dogwood, Cedar, Maple and Ginko attract a wide variety of songbirds too, as do the professionally designed sun, shade and Camellia gardens nestled around the property. The home is a boater’s paradise with 250 Feet of stabilized shoreline featuring a 250-foot dock with two deep-water (7 feet MLW) slips – 1 sail; 1 power. The larger slip will accommodate up to 12-foot beam. Fish and crab from the dock or fish for trophy rockfish with just a half-hour’s ride to the Bay. Annapolis is 1 hour by boat or car. This home is set up for entertaining with an open circulation pattern: which serves 35 people buffet style or 25 for a plated dinner.

The house and all systems have all been professionally engineered to enhance the comfort and maintainability of the home.
