A main level bedroom and full bath add flexibility, perfect for guests, extended family, or easy one-level living when you want it.But the real showstopper waits just beyond the doors. A large deck stretches out toward the Chesapeake Bay, offering sweeping water views that shift with the light from sunrise to sunset. Down at the shoreline, riprap lines the beach, blending function with the natural beauty of the setting and giving you a front-row seat to life on the Bay.And then there’s the studio. Tucked just beyond the main home, the workshop-style shed is something special. With electricity and windows that frame the water, it has already lived a creative life as a writing and art studio. You can feel it the moment you step inside. It’s the kind of space that sparks ideas, whether you’re painting, working, or just taking in the view.Located in Western Shores, where short-term rentals are allowed, this home offers flexibility for both personal enjoyment and investment potential.
