Property Description

Embrace the quintessential Saint Michaels lifestyle in this beautifully renovated Classic Tidewater Cottage, ideally positioned in the heart of one of Maryland's most beloved waterfront towns. Stroll to local restaurants, boutique shops, galleries, marinas, and the scenic harbor, then return home to relax on the porch or gather in the rear garden for effortless outdoor entertaining.

Blending traditional Tidewater character with thoughtful modern updates, this inviting two-story residence offers approximately 1,200 square feet, three bedrooms, and two full baths. Its central location places you within easy reach of the Chesapeake Bay waterfront and the distinctive charm that makes Saint Michaels such a sought-after Eastern Shore destination.

Inside, the first floor unfolds into an airy open-concept living and kitchen area, creating a welcoming setting for everyday living, weekend gatherings, and entertaining after a day on the water. The renovated kitchen features marble countertops and stainless-steel JENN-AIR appliances, including a double wall oven, dishwasher, and gas range.

A full bath serves the main level, while a distinctive 204-square-foot studio or primary bedroom suite offers dramatic vaulted architecture and exposed open framing. Throughout the cottage, rough-sawn tongue-and-groove paneling brings warmth, texture, and authentic Eastern Shore character.

Extensive modern improvements include new mechanical systems, central HVAC with heat pump, hot water heater, and kitchen appliances, providing contemporary comfort while preserving the home's classic Tidewater appeal.

Outdoor living takes center stage. The rear garden creates an intimate setting for al fresco dining, cocktails, and entertaining, while open porches on both the first and second floors offer ideal spaces for morning coffee, afternoon naps, relaxed dinners, or watching a summer rain pass through. Ceiling fans provide a refreshing breeze on warm Chesapeake days.

Set on an approximately 3,715-square-foot lot (35.26' x 105.38'), this charming cottage offers a rare opportunity to enjoy the relaxed sophistication, walkable waterfront-town lifestyle, and historic character of Saint Michaels.

A distinctive Eastern Shore retreat where classic architecture, modern comfort, and outdoor living come together in the heart of Saint Michaels.
