Description

If you are looking for a beautifully designed Victorian home in a quaint waterfront small town with a marina, this is the one for you! This turn-key historical home has been thoughtfully designed with an Airbnb or vacation home use in mind, complete with custom decor and carefully selected antiques, to instantly transport you into another world. Only steps from the small town of Chesapeake City along the famous C&D Canal, you can enjoy the many town events, shops, cafe, waterfront restaurant, ice cream shop, marina, and more! This home has been carefully renovated to make it shine and have modern conveniences while maintaining its Victorian charm. The wrap-around front porch welcomes you to the home and features a plaque naming this the "Barwick House" circa 1850. Walking into the front door, you are greeted by the lovely foyer with a vestibule seating area. To the left of this is a living room with electric fireplace and beautiful mantle. The dining room has been opened to the kitchen which makes it a welcoming space to entertain. This room is a showpiece with exposed ceiling, dual chandeliers, large dining table, custom island and cabinetry utilizing antique furniture to take the charm to the next level! Off the kitchen is a laundry room, mudroom, and a sunroom which could also be used as a first floor bedroom or bonus room. There is also full bathroom with ADA walk-in shower and intricate detailing in the design with nods to the Maryland waterfront setting. The second floor has one of the best features of the house: the first bedroom not only has beautiful exposed beams, but it also features custom stairs up to a secret loft, perfect for a kids hide-out or reading nook, with railing hand-wrapped with nautical rope to create a magical getaway experience! This second floor has two more bedrooms, one with exposed beams & loft-style decor ledge and the other with double closets and built-in shelves, and the second full bathroom with clawfoot tub. The third floor has two bedrooms, one which has a beautiful feaux-fireplace mantle. There are 5 bedrooms total in this home, plus the bonus room/sunroom on the first floor, and 2 full bathrooms. Outside, you'll find a large deck to enjoy all summer long, as well as a spacious back yard - only a few blocks from the Marina! This property has convenient off-street parking for up to 6 cars in the back and there is permitted parking along the street. The mechanicals have also been updated for buyer's peace of mind, including New Roof 2023, New Electrical & Panels 2022-2023, New Wall Mini-Split Heating/Cooling 2022, added insulation, and much more! This is a one-of-a-kind gem that you will not want to miss!
